Wakefield Trinity thrashed Warrington Wolves, while Castleford Tigers proved too strong for the Salford Red Devils in Sunday’s Super League action.
Caius Faatili barged over for an early double and Wakefield proceeded to run riot against woeful Warrington in a one-sided Super League clash at the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
Josh Griffin also crossed the line twice in a thumping seven-try, 40-10 win for the hosts that was supplemented by six kicks from the impeccable Max Jowitt.
For Sam Burgess’ visitors, the scenes on the final hooter proved a far cry from last week’s Challenge Cup semi-final celebrations following their victory over Leigh.
Apart from briefly stirring towards the end of the first period, Burgess’ men looked utterly toothless and even the imminent prospect of a return to Wembley cannot distract from the fact they continue to languish in a lowly ninth place in the Super League table.
In contrast, Daryl Powell’s Wakefield lifted themselves into the play-off places after this latest rampant performance, in which they made their intentions clear from the opening moments.
Castleford 48-16 Salford: Hoy hits hat-trick vs Super League’s basement side
Tex Hoy touched down for a hat-trick as Castleford beat bottom club Salford 48-16 at the Mend-A-Hose Stadium for their third Super League win of the season.
Australian full-back Hoy went over twice in the first half and, after further tries before the break from centre Zac Cini and wing Innes Senior, the Tigers led 24-0 at half-time.
Spirited Salford cut the deficit with two tries in quick succession from Matty Foster and Nene MacDonald early in the second period before the Tigers restored control to complete the double this season over the visitors.
Hoy’s third effort was sandwiched by scores from Muizz Mustapha and Alex Mellor and after MacDonald’s second try for Salford, Daejarn Asi’s late effort completed the scoring.

Serie A title comes down to last matchday of the season: What to know as Inter, Napoli aim for Scudetto
Getty Images The 2024-25 Serie A season is not over yet and we will have to wait until the very last game of the season to know who's going to win the Scudetto between Napoli and Inter. Napoli could only draw 0-0 at Parma on Sunday while Inter blew a one-goal lead twice, drawing Lazio in Milan, 2-2. As a result, Napoli enter the last round with a one-point lead, meaning a win will clinch the crown. If the two are tied after next week, which can only happen if Inter draw and Napoli lose, there will be a playoff final that will decide who's going to win the title. However, considering the schedule of the Nerazzurri in particular, with the Champions League final on May 31 against PSG, it's very likely they will also have to move the Serie A […]

Dodgers showing urgency, not sentimentality, in cutting Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers ripped off the Band-Aid. Rather than opt for sentimentality and patience for a half-billion dollar payroll, they’ve continued to trim veteran names off the roster.On Wednesday, it meant cutting their longest-tenured position player in Austin Barnes to give top prospect Dalton Rushing the chance to cut his teeth as the team’s backup catcher. That passed the honor of longest-tenured position player to Chris Taylor, who played 1,007 career games as a Dodger after being acquired in 2016.AdvertisementThat title lasted four days. The Dodgers cut Taylor on Sunday, clearing the path for Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim to stick on the big-league roster even as Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernández return off the injured list.Two of the Dodgers’ mainstays are now gone within days.“This has been a very emotional week for all of us,” Dodgers […]
