Castleford Tigers scored four tries in less than 20 minutes early in the second half to come from behind and beat strugglers Wigan at the Jungle.

The Warriors raced ahead with a brace of tries from Sean O'Loughlin before Waine Pryce hit back to make it 12-6.

Quick tries from Michael Platt, Paul Handforth and Richard Fa'aoso gave Tigers a commanding lead.

Andy Kain kicked well and added a try, while Pryce also went over, to ensure late Wigan scores would not be enough.

Wigan coach Ian Millward:

"What we did in training was not what we did on the day. But I'd like to think there is a solution.

"I can't work hard enough and the players can't work hard enough.

"We started well in the first half but our defending was ordinary in the second - and that's putting it mildy."

Castleford coach Terry Matterson:

"We should have been 12 points up at half-time - but that's probably just us being greedy," he said.

"It's been a massive turn-around here, and it's all down to the personnel. We had a good hard look at ourselves.

On the improvement in form he added: "We've been losing to teams by scores we shouldn't have been losing by."

Castleford: Platt, Pryce, Shenton, Bird, Viane, McGoldrick, Kain, Sculthorpe, Henderson, Nutley, Fa'aoso, Whitaker, Fletcher. Replacements: Handforth, Dyer, Manu, Ward.
