Betfred Super League
Castleford (0) 0
Wakefield (16) 34
Tries: Trueman 2, Hall, Smoothy, Pratt 2, Scott Goals: Jowitt 3
Wakefield Trinity kept pace with the top few sides in the Super League table as they eased to a comfortable victory over toothless Castleford Tigers at the OneBore Stadium.
The Tigers were overwhelmed by the visitors' place and clinical finishing, with Jake Trueman, Corey Hall and Tyson Smoothy all scoring before the break to establish a comfortable 16 point lead.
With the Adam Watene Trophy on the line, Trinity kept up the pressure in the second half, adding further scores through Oliver Pratt, Cam Scott and Trueman, with the Tigers unable to cross the whitewash.
Fourth-placed Wakefield are level on 10 points with the top five sides in the table, while Castleford fall to the bottom on points difference.
Looking for their fourth league win on the bounce, it was visitors Wakefield who struck first.
Following a strong carry from Smoothy, Trueman stepped through a hole in the Tigers' defence before carrying two defenders over the line with him.
Wakefield were dominant and almost had a second through Pratt, who spilled the ball forward as he competed with Zac Cini for the ball in the air.
Castleford thought they had levelled the scores through Jason Qareqare, but the score was chalked off when the TMO spotted the winger had a foot in touch before he grounded the ball.
Trinity then seized control of the game through the impressive Hall, who stepped past Darnell McIntosh before powering over from short range despite the efforts of Cini.
The Tigers were left to rue another missed opportunity soon afterwards, with Sam Hall losing the ball forward as he reached for the try-line.
Trinity soon made them pay for their profligacy, with Smoothy going over after a rampaging drive from debutant Tray Lolesio.
Unable to make any inroads into the Trinity defence at the beginning of the second half, the Tigers conceded again with Max Jowitt slotting a penalty after Joe Stimson was penalised for infringing at the breakdown.
The full-back was then involved again soon after, feeding the prolific Pratt to dive over in the corner for Trinity's fourth try.
With the home defence wilting, Scott went over untouched for a fifth, before a misplaced pass from the returning Mason Lino found Pratt in space for his second as the Castleford faithful headed for the exits.
There was just time for Trueman to add his second from a counter-attack to cap a miserable Sunday for Ryan Carr's men.
