More misery for luckless Bulls

Castleford's flying start to the engage Super League season continued as they edged a thrilling encounter with Bradford 28-26 at The Jungle.

At one point the home side were 16 points behind with 13 minutes remaining and looking all but beaten.

But the Tigers sparked into life and three tries in eight minutes gave Castleford their first win over Bradford since September 2003.

The crucial score came two minutes from time when Rangi Chase crossed for the hosts' fifth try of the day and Kirk Dixon converted to seal the win.

Meanwhile, Celtic Crusaders stay rooted to the foot of the table after twice letting slip the lead in a 27-22 loss to Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

The Bridgend club were in sight of a historic first win after leading 12-6 and 22-16 and looked set to share the spoils until prop forward Ryan O'Hara was sent to the sin-bin eight minutes from the end.

Half-back Lee Briers edged Warrington in front with a drop goal four minutes later and winger Chris Hicks made the extra man count and clinched their second successive win with a last-gasp try.

Also on Sunday, lowly Salford gave Hull KR a fright with a try after just 64 seconds before the home side started the second half with three tries in 15 minutes to run out comfortable 48-12 winners.

Winger Peter Fox and scrum-half Michael Dobson recorded hat-tricks with Kris Welham scoring twice and Scott Murrell also going over.

Jordan Turner and Luke Adamson were the try scorers for Salford.
