Wakefield thrash Castleford to boost top-four hopes

BBC Sport · 2 months ago

Wakefield Trinity secured a dominant performance against Castleford Tigers, running in nine tries to claim a 48-6 victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The result strengthens their prospects of finishing in the Super League's top four, with the win moving them to third place on 24 points. Multiple Wakefield players found the try line with ease, including Cameron Scott and Tom Johnstone with two apiece, as Daryl Powell's side demonstrated clinical attacking execution against a severely under-par opposition.

Castleford struggled throughout the match, committing numerous errors and failing to construct an effective defence, ultimately missing 44 tackles across the 80 minutes. Despite the one-sided nature of the contest, Castleford managed a single try through Jason Qareqare in the final minute, preventing a complete shutout. Wakefield's performance highlighted their recent strong run of form, though the mismatch in quality between the two sides meant the victory offered limited insight into their true capability against stronger opponents.

  • Wakefield Trinity routed Castleford Tigers 48-6, scoring nine tries to significantly boost their playoff positioning
  • The convincing victory lifts Wakefield to third place with six wins in their last seven matches
  • Castleford's poor discipline and 44 missed tackles left them exposed throughout the contest
