A Greg Eden hat-trick  against Hull KR helped Castleford get their second win of the restarted season and end their losing streak after the shock of last week's massive loss to Hull FC.

Castleford and Rovers came to this match with no play-off prospects on realistic offer and nothing to play for but pride and experience. And both teams had a makeshift look about them as injuries and the pressure of  fixtures took their toll.

Rovers took to the field without head coach Tony Smith overseen them after he started a 14-day Covid isolation because he had been in contact with someone who tested positive. And the kick-off itself was delayed by an hour after an incident on the M62 affected both teams' travel to the stadium.
