Warrington Wolves moved into fourth place after a comprehensive 48-18 win over Castleford Tigers, ending a poor run of four losses in six, including three on the road.

Early error‑laden first 20 minutes saw Tigers lead 16-6 at the One Bore Stadium, but Matty Ashton, Toby King and Toafofoa Sipley turned the game, putting Wolves ahead 24-18 at half‑time. James Harrison and Leon Hayes extended the advantage after the break.

Wolves’ coach Sam Burgess had warned Castleford would not be pushovers, yet the Tigers failed to find the defensive intent. Ewan Irwin’s accurate boot saw Castleford lose back‑to‑back defeats. The win places Warrington Wolves in a spot to challenge for top‑six.

The result comes as Super League round 22 begins on Thursday, live on Sky Sports. The match was streamed free on NOW, with Sky Sports covering all league games.
