Wolves 6 Castleford 28
WOLVES had nothing to show for the first half of this embarrassing defeat but at 0-6 at the interval they were still in the game.
But a second half collapse put the visitors in total control and a try from Chris Bridge and conversion from Chris Hicks did little to persuade home supporters that they have much to look forward to this summer.
Tony Smith was remarkably positive in the circumstances, with high praise for the never-say-die attitude of Ben Westwood and nice words for Chris Bridge and Kevin Penny, who was drafted in as a late replacement for the injured Vinnie Anderson.
Both had played well in the circumstances, he said.
But there was no escaping the poor performance put in by Wolves in the second half.
In part, this was almost certainly down to the pressures of playing two games over the Bank Holiday weekend – and does not inspire much hope for this Friday’s visit to Odsal to take on Bradford Bulls
