Promoted Castleford's relegation fears deepened with an 11-try mauling by Warrington at The Jungle.

They slumped to a record home defeat after being totally outplayed by an impressive Wolves outfit.

Captain Lee Briers led Warrington's spree with a try and 10 goals. Centre Martin Gleeson and winger Henry Fa'afili both grabbed two touchdowns.

The Tigers were the first to threaten with 38-year-old scrum-half Brad Davis directing play.

But Warrington, with Briers behind most of their best work, soon took control. They went in front after six minutes when Fa'afili crossed at the corner after good work by Briers and Martin Gleeson. They should have scored again three minutes later but Brent Grose failed to take Michael Sullivan's pass with the line open. The Wolves then struck again when Fa'afili stretched Castleford's defence by regathering his own chip before Briers' crossfield kick resulted in Toa Kohe-Love scoring.

Briers added a touchline conversion and then put in a superb 40-20 to pave the way for substitute Jon Clarke to go over from Mike Wainwright's pass.

Trailing 16-0, the Tigers finally got a look-in when Willie Manu sent in full-back Michael Platt for a try that Ryan McGoldrick converted.

Davis' long pass then put Luke Dyer in at the corner but the effort was ruled out by the video referee.

Warrington, with Briers calling the shots, stretched their lead with two tries before half-time.

Martin Gleeson went over from Clarke's pass before Sullivan crossed direct from a scrum close to Castleford's line.

Briers kicked his fourth goal to make it 28-6 at halt-time.

The one-way traffic continued in the second half when Martin Gleeson collected his second after good work by Fa'afili.

Fa'afili then had a touchdown disallowed by the video referee before Briers got his try with a 40-yard interception after swooping on McGoldrick's pass.

Fa'afili got his second try before Warrington completed the rout with three tries in the last seven minutes from Paul Wood, Paul Rauhihi and Rob Parker.
