Catalans Dragons ran in nine tries as they hammered Castleford in Carcassonne to secure their third Super League win. It was 10-10 as the break approached after tries from Thomas Bosc and Mark Hughes for the hosts and Michael Platt and Ben Roarty for Castleford. Bruno Verges then went over for a quick brace and the Dragons cut loose. Hughes and Verges both scored again after the break and Justin Murphy and Jerome Guisset also crossed, while Luke Dyer scored for the Tigers.
Castleford coach Terry Matterson "It was embarrassing, pathetic. We conceded too many soft tries and the last 20 minutes was disgraceful. "We never gave enough respect to the opposition and they were hungrier than
us. We had to be strong and we weren't. "They had more resolve than last time and were defensively a lot more solid
and we were very poor." Dragons coach Mick Potter "I wasn't expecting it, but after we got 13 points ahead the game opened up. "The players have certainly improved since I arrived, with every game, but we
are looking to get better and better and I still see some improvement in
them."
