Castleford boss breaks silence on Joe Westerman sex act saga and issues selection update

Lee Radford says Joe Westerman is available to play in Sunday's Super League opener at Hull FC and is "tough" enough to bounce back from his sex shame scandal.

The England loose forward, 33, was handed a "substantial fine" by his club and ordered to help educate young people on the effects of alcohol and "dangers of social media when in the public eye" after a video emerged of him allegedly performing a sex act earlier at the weekend.

Westerman "wholeheartedly apologised" to his family and friends for his actions but he has been in the headlines all week in the build-up to the first game of the season.
