St Helens beat Castleford despite Hastings dismissal

St Helens secured a crucial victory over Castleford Tigers in the Super League, despite captain Jackson Hastings being sent off for punching Tyler Dupree. The visitors dominated from the beginning, scoring six tries in the first half to build a 30-0 lead. Hastings was shown a red card for his aggressive behavior off the ball, leading to Castleford having a man advantage for the remainder of the match.

Despite losing two key players to yellow cards, St Helens continued to score, with Harry Robertson, Louis Senior, and Phoenix Laulu-Togaga contributing crucial tries. The win helped Saints maintain their slim hopes of securing a play-off spot, though they will likely need to win their final games to avoid missing out on the playoffs for the first time in Super League history.
