Set of Six: Warrington 38-14 Castleford

The Wire bounced back to winning ways with an excellent performance at home to Castleford, to move up to 4th in the league.

1) Star seven
What a performance that was from Gareth Widdop. A hat-trick of tries, and was everywhere in the attack.

2) Number one
Stefan Ratchford was impeccable too. Controlled the attack and was faultless defensively.

3) KR were Robbed
Robbie Mulhern is turning out to be a very astute signing. He is consistently making a positive impact when he comes on from the bench.

4) Switch the play
Josh Charnley was switched to the left-hand side for this game, and it's no surprise that he crossed twice as a result.

5) Strike players
Toby King, Daryl Clark and Gareth Widdop. Everything goes through those three at the minute.

6) Top two ambitions?
With St Helens losing to Catalans and Wigan only scraping their way to wins, if Wire find a bit more consistency they might not be too far behind.
