Source: www.superleague.co.ukCastleford Tigers stormed to their second straight win by crushing engage Super League newcomers Salford Reds at the Jungle this evening.
Australian scrum-half Brent Sherwin was again in inspirational form as the Tigers followed their surprise victory at Wigan Warriors with an impressive nine-try display.
Salford crashed to a second successive defeat after a dreadful start, conceding five tries in the opening 25 minutes.
The Tigers went ahead after just two minutes when Sherwin sent Michael Shenton racing over from a scrum 20 metres out and Kirk Dixon added the first of his eight goals from nine kicks.
Castleford doubled their lead five minutes later when prop Craig Huby crashed over from close range from skipper Ryan Hudson's pass.
Castleford's Mitchell Sargent had an effort ruled out for offside before Hudson put them further ahead by finishing a delightful move involving Ryan McGoldrick and Sherwin.
Shell-shocked Salford fell further behind in the 20th minute when Hudson, McGoldrick, Shenton and Sherwin linked to send in Richard Owen for the first of his two tries.
The one-way traffic continued when Sione Faumuina put in Joe Westerman for Castleford's fifth touchdown.
Salford finally got a look in after 32 minutes when centre Willie Talau scored with a diagonal run and John Wilshere converted.
Salford's Karl Fitzpatrick then had a touchdown disallowed because of a forward pass from Jeremy Smith.
Castleford started the second half like they had the first when Sherwin regained his own clever kick to put in substitute Kirk Netherton for a try.
Sherwin then struck again when he cleverly exchanged passes with Shenton before sending in Owen for his second score.
Salford's Ray Cashmere and Castleford's Huby were sin-binned for fighting after a 59th-minute flare-up.
McGoldrick stretched Castleford's lead with a superb 35-yard solo try before Salford staged a late rally.
Fitzpatrick collected a try before Malcolm Alker, Ian Sibbit and Luke Swain made the opening for winger Mark Henry to cross.
But Castleford completed the scoring and reached a half-century of points when substitute forward Dean Widders charged over from 30 metres out three minutes from time.
