Castleford rally to stun Wolves
Related Articles
27 January 2008
The Wolves were jeered off the pitch after throwing away a 28-14 lead with only 10 minutes remaining. The Tigers raced over for three tries in four minutes from Michael Wainwright, Luke Dorn and Stuart Donlan to go ahead 30-28.
Warrington's misery was completed when Aussie Dorn intercepted Michael Monaghan's pass to race almost the full length of the field in the last minute, prompting angry fans to stay behind after the final hooter chanting: "We want Cullen out."
Basement boys Cas deservedly led 14-10 at half-time before the Wolves hit back - only to toss away victory.
Donlan brushed off Chris Riley with ease for 18-year-old Richard Owen to cross in the corner after only five minutes and it was no surprise when Cas grabbed the second try with Michael Shenton taking Joe Westerman's pass to go over. Westerman added the touchline conversion to make it 10-0.
Chris Hicks crossed to finally open Warrington's account and the Wolves drew level almost immediately with Riley collecting a perfectly-judged Lee Briers kick to force his way over in the corner.
But Cas went ahead 14-10 at the interval after Westerman and Shenton again combined for Adam Fletcher to squeeze over in the corner.
Smart passing from Monaghan and Hicks enabled Riley to bag his second try, converted by Hicks, to make it 16-14 before Cas were reduced to 12 men with Ned Catic sin-binned for interference.
Monaghan's long pass immediately sent Kevin Penny scooting over with Hicks' conversion easing the Wolves' nerves at 22-14. Catic was still absent when Hicks raced over for his 15th try of the season before Wainwright cut the gap to 28-18.
Dorn and Donlan then went over with Westerman and Craig Huby tagging on the conversions to sink Warrington and Dorn's second try added the final insult, and there was more misery as Penny left the field on a stretcher in the last minute.
