Betfred Super League

Tries: Gagai, Wilson Goals: Flanagan 2
Castleford (18) 30
Tries: I Senior 2, Simm, Mellor, Milnes Goals: Milnes 5
Castleford Tigers thrashed a dismal Huddersfield Giants 30-12 at the John Smith’s Stadium to earn just their second win of the Super League season.
Two tries from Innes Senior and one each from Josh Simm, Alex Mellor and Rowan Milnes – who also kicked five goals – gave the Tigers a comfortable away win against their West Yorkshire rivals.
Giants full-back Jacob Gagai and Oliver Wilson grabbed consolation tries for the hosts, who were booed off by a handful of home supporters at half-time.
Castleford’s victory means they stay 10th but move two points clear of Salford in the Super League standings, while Huddersfield remain rooted to the foot of the table, still without a point after nine matches.
