Castleford Tigers’ fans in crisis after Wakefield Trinity’s massive win

Wakefield Trinity have just put Warrington Wolves to the sword as they defeated Daryl Powell’s side by a huge score of 42-6 at Belle Vue, dragging themselves level on points with relegation rivals Castleford Tigers following their recent run of form that’s seen them beat Leeds Rhinos, Salford Red Devils and then Wigan Warriors.

It was Trinity’s fourth win in six, with all four coming at home, and it now draws them level on points with Castleford Tigers as both sides have eight points.

Prior to round 20 of Super League the gap was two points with a huge buffer in points difference as well but the nature of the Castleford’s 34-16 loss coupled with Wakefield’s massive win has seen the points difference cut to just 12 points from 54.

As well as the huge celebration from Trinity fans there’s been a major meltdown among the Warrington Wolves faithful, and it’s also the turn of Castleford Tigers fans who are understandably panicking.

The Tigers have lost five of their last six whilst Wakefield have won four of their last six with the polar opposites in form resulting in Castleford looking like relegation favourites now.

That’s led to fans demanding action with immediate effect in a bid for the Tigers to retain their Super League status.

Fans took to Twitter to make their disappointment heard.

95% of the @CTRLFC squad should be ashamed!

Only the odd few can hold their heads up after this year.

Disgraceful.

Even just after half time in the Wakefield and Warrington game, one fan could see the writing was on the wall and explained how the vast majority of the Tigers squad were responsible for their position claiming they “should be ashamed”.

Well the plan of hoping Wakefield would not get it together is off the table, they are now playing rugby league running hard and tackle hard playing with directions and pride.

Similarly another accepted the huge up turn in form showed pride in the badge and meant Cas could no longer just try and hang on.

2023 Season @CTRLFC

INSANITY: Is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.#COYF pic.twitter.com/lB34yhapyc

That same Twitter user was less eloquent come full time as they simply used a GIF to sum up their mood: “I can’t deal with this anymore”.

Worse appointment?

The comical poll approach was taken by another. *For those interested, at the time of writing the poll ranked 71.4% for Andy Last” *

Not one Cas fan, has any faith that anything will change.

Unless Andy Last leaves or a dramatic changes happens over the next few weeks, Cas will continue to lose.

Some major questions need asking about how @CTRLFC has been run over the last few years.

There were calls for Andy Last to leave and more generally about the state of the club in recent years.

Powell to be sacked, get him back last few games of season.

— No Context Cas (@NoContextTigers) July 30, 2023

That same account called for Daryl Powell to be hired to save the Tigers’ season, if Warrington were to dismiss him.

We all know Andy last isn’t good enough but more anger should go to the senior players who have downed tools and not putting a shift in. Doing the basics isn’t hard @CTRLFC

— Matt Gostling (@Matthecatt) July 30, 2023

There was again large criticism for the senior players failing to turn up, something Last had referenced himself on Friday night.

Andy last could be out of a job at six closely followed by Powell if this carries on!

There was one prediction of a double sacking to come before the weekend closes.
