Pressure mounts on Noble

As the Warriors left the JJB Stadium with boos ringing in their ears for the second time in three weeks, Castleford fans revelled in their misery, chanting "you're getting sacked in the morning" to underline the mounting pressure on coach Brian Noble.

In Friday's other game Leeds recovered from a 10-4 half-time deficit to maintain the 100% start to their engage Super League title defence with a 19-10 win over Hull KR.

Wigan actually matched their visitors try for try, including a sensational 50-yard effort from debutant teenage winger Shaun Ainscough, but Australians Amos Roberts and Mark Riddell could manage just one conversion between them from five attempts.

The architect of Wigan's downfall was Castleford's experienced scrum-half Brent Sherwin who had a hand or foot in four of their five tries on his first appearance of the season after recovering from ankle surgery.

Thomas Leuluai, Karl Pryce, Darrell Goulding, Joel Tomkins and Ainscough all went over for Wigan while Joe Westerman, Brett Ferres (2), Kirk Dixon and Michael Shenton scored for Tigers with Dixon also kicking four goals.

At New Craven Park Shaun Briscoe cancelled out Carl Ablett's early try and Michael Dobson kicked three goals to give the Robins their half-time lead.

But Ryan Hall led the fightback with a try early in the second half and youngster Kallum Watkins settled a tight battle eight minutes from time.

Kevin Sinfield also kicked three goals and a drop to round out the Rhino's scoring.

The only downside was a serious-looking injury to prop Ryan Bailey late on while Lee Smith also failed to finish.
