Brent Sherwin's 77th-minute drop-goal shocked the KC Stadium as Hull were beaten 19-18 by Castleford while Leeds lost 26-18 to St. Helens, the team they beat in last season's grand final.

In the other game of the night top-rated teenagers Sam Tomkins and Shaun Ainscough scored two tries apiece as Wigan powered to a morale-boosting 38-12 win at Salford.

In Lancashire Keith Senior became only the second player to score tries in all 14 seasons of Super League but was overshadowed by his England team-mate Leon Pryce, who was given the honour of leading Saints out on his 100th appearance and celebrated with a polished display to help his side to their fifth win of the season.

Matt Gidley (2), James Roby, Pryce and Gary Wheeler all went over for Saints while Ryan Hall's try complimented a Senior brace for the champions.

At the KC Richard Agar's side appeared to be on course for a sixth win in six matches after four tries shared between the Horne brothers Richard and Graeme had given them an 18-12 lead.

But with the usually reliable Danny Tickle failing with three of his four conversion attempts, Castleford were never out of the game and Ryan McGoldrick's try, coupled with Sherwin's drop goal, earned them the win.

Wigan stand-off stand-off Tomkins showed pace and real star quality at the Willows with two long-range touchdowns while fellow 19-year-old Ainscough was not to be outdone.

Thomas Leuluai also grabbed a brace while Pat Richards touched down once and kicked five goals to prolong struggling Salford's miserable start to the campaign.

Salford could at least celebrate the performance of their own potential star in 18-year-old Richard Myler, who claimed both the hosts' tries.
