Castleford run out winners at The Jungle in today's only Super League game. It's been a great game in total, Castlefield completely dominated the first half earning three quick tries, although St Helens got one back before the whistle went.
Cheyse Blair scored the first try of the second half, good play once again got the ball all the way across on the right, and he twisted his way through and touched down just over the line. Danny Richardson then scored two penalties to make it 22-4 and stop any chances for Saints to get back into it. Saints pulled one back through Jack Welsby, but it was soon equalled.
Lots of tries in quick succession at the end, and Luke Thompson got a consolation for St Helens that was converted

Cas have been absolutely perfect in this first half, and the score reflects that.
They opened the scoring in the 12th minute, great play from Mata'utia saw him touch the ball down over the top of his head for the try, Richardson converted to make it six.
Eight minutes later, the space opened again on the right-hand side where Saints had been weak, and a free Olpherts in the corner comfortably scored another try. This time, the conversion was missed and went just wide of the far post.
The third try of the day - just wow. Derrell Olpherts somehow kept his feet in the air and got the ball down past the line to make it 14-0. It's hard to describe in words just how great it was.
Tommy Makinson pulled one back just before the break, touching down after a great lunge to just get the ball over the line.
