Warrington remain in Super League relegation trouble after an eight-try hammering at The Jungle.

Tigers centre Michael Eagar grabbed two tries and fellow Australian Wayne Bartrim landed seven goals as Castleford piled up the points.

Warrington's scoring was dominated by stand-off Lee Briers, who grabbed a try and kicked six goals.

The Tigers took a second-minute lead when Danny Orr, Mitch Healey and Ryan Hudson linked to send Barrie Jon Mather over.

Briers opened Warrington's account with a sixth-minute penalty goal but they fell further behind three minutes later.

Bartrim and Michael Smith made the opening for winger Waine Pryce to go in at the corner and Bartrim added a touchline goal.

The Wolves stayed in contention with Briers' second penalty goal but they created few chances in the first half.

Castleford looked by far the sharper side and increased their lead when Nathan Sykes and Orr set up a 26th-minute try for Hudson that Bartrim improved.

Warrington were rocked again five minutes later when Smith forced his way through from a scrum near the Wolves line and Bartrim kicked his third goal to give the Tigers a commanding 22-4 lead.

Warrington finally got a look-in shortly before half-time when Briers scored a brilliant individual try which he also converted to cut the interval deficit to 22-10.

Briers was on target again in the 42nd minute with his fourth goal as Warrington started the second half in determined fashion.

The Tigers had a let off when Gary Hulse was unable to take a pass from half-back partner Briers with the line wide open.

The Wolves were quickly made to regret the miss when Castleford prop Andy Lynch powered in for a try.

The Tigers shot further in front six minutes later when Bartrim darted clear and put substitute Jon Wells over.

Castleford stretched their lead to 40-12 in the 62nd minute when half-backs Healey and Orr paved the way for Eagar's first.

Warrington debutant Graham Appo created a try for Tommy O'Reilly and Darren Burns also crossed for the visitors in a late rally.

But the Tigers had the final say when a wild pass by Warrington's Sid Domic was scooped up by Eagar who raced in for his second, with Bartrim tagging on his seventh goal.
