Hull KR hammered Castleford 50-6 at Craven Park, snatching third place in the Betfred Super League. A blistering start saw Karl Lawton, Tom Amone and Dean Hadley score before the break, leaving the Tigers with a 34‑0 deficit. Nine tries from the Rovers, including Tom Davies’ hat‑trick, underscored the gap between the clubs as the Rovers’ dominance left Castleford scrambling to find rhythm as injury woes piled up.

Castleford entered the match with a battered squad, debuting four new faces—Tyler Dupree, Phoenix Laulu‑Togaga’e, Tom Nicholson‑Watton and Brad Dwyer—who struggled amid a chaotic defence. Rhyse Martin’s seven conversions helped the Rovers reach 50 points, while Hull’s defensive line held five straight sets, a rarity after conceding only 38 in the previous four games and keeping the league tight surrounding.

Despite the Tigers’ brief pressure, Hull’s attack remained clinical, with Joe Burgess adding his ninth try in five outings and Tom Davies sprinting 20 metres for a third. The result pushes Hull KR into a strong position for the playoffs, while Castleford’s injury crisis threatens their title hopes as they prepare for the Challenge Cup semi‑final against next week’s matches.
