AS THE Super League express train continues its journey en route to the final stop at Old Trafford, there was no denying how crucial this match-up was for both sides.
Warrington Wolves, fresh off their first taste of success under interim coach Gary Chambers, were hungry for another win as the battle for play-off positions tightens, at the business end of the season.
On the other side of the pitch, the Tigers were desperate for a win as they try to claw their way out of a relegation arm wrestle.
But it was not to be for Danny Ward’s men, who were given a brutal reality check of what it takes to succeed at the top level.
Castleford’s for and against advantage as now dried up following the 66-12 margin, which could threaten their Super League status if Wakefield can draw level on points.
