Angry supporters staged a sit-in protest after the game to call for the removal of Cullen and reports later claimed the head coach had indeed resigned.

Cullen failed to appear at the post-match press conference and while the club refused to comment on speculation over his position, a spokesperson confirmed a statement would be issued on Tuesday.

Cullen is the longest-serving coach in Super League having taken charge of his hometown club, whom he also represented 348 times as a player, in 2002.

He had been under pressure last season until an upturn in form earned him a new two-year contract in July.

Yet the Wolves have been among the competition's bigger spenders in recent years and expectations were raised further during the close season with Australia star Matt King among their high-profile recruits.

Warrington started the season well with six Super League wins from eight but their form since has been inconsistent and the Castleford loss has left them outside the top six.

Cullen's departure would make him the second coaching casualty of the Super League season after Peter Sharp left Hull last week.

It would also end a long association with the club as a player, assistant coach and coach which began in 1980 and was interrupted only by a two-year spell as head coach at Whitehaven from 2000-02.
