CASTLEFORD has issued a statement confirming coach Ryan Carr will not be at Friday night’s game against Hull KR.
Carr has reportedly been stood down pending an investigation – although exactly what is being investigated is unclear.
The club said “personal reasons” were responsible for his absence.
“Castleford Tigers RLFC can confirm that head coach Ryan Carr will not be in attendance at the Hull KR game this coming Friday,” the statement said.
“We can confirm that this is due to personal reasons, contrary to the reports on social media.
“In the interim, Chris Chester, Rob Nickolay and Scott Murrell will lead our on- and off-field operations.
“This leadership group will be heavily supported by Adrian Vowles and we thank Adrian for offering his support at short notice.
“We will not be making any other further comment at this stage, and we urge our fans to once again get behind our team this coming Friday.”
Vowles, who played 138 games for the Tigers across two stints, is in Britain on holiday.
