Castleford shrug off coach problems to beat Hull

Castleford Tigers overcame their coaching issues to defeat Hull FC at the MKM Stadium, securing their third away win of the season. Coach Ryan Carr was absent due to personal reasons, while Luke Robinson, their new assistant boss, joined the team mid-match. Despite trailing by 14-12, Castleford scored tries through Renouf Atoni, Mikaele Ravalawa, and Liam Hood, ultimately winning 30-22.

Hull FC, buoyed by the arrival of Aussie legend Daly Cherry-Evans, fell short in their first away win this season. Castleford's professionalism shone through as they scored from their first attack and held on to win despite Hull's late comeback. Castleford's director of rugby, Chris Chester, praised the team's resilience and fight, calling it a tough week for the players but a proud moment for the club.
