Castleford Tigers v Warrington Wolves: Ryan Carr insists drubbing best forgotten ahead of rematch

Castleford Tigers boss Ryan Carr insists there are no thoughts of revenge this week after consigning their drubbing by Warrington Wolves to the history books.

The Tigers suffered their heaviest defeat of a challenging season in the reverse fixture, conceding 12 tries in a 72-6 demolition.

Carr labelled it the "worst performance" he had ever been involved in as a coach but that March afternoon is the furthest thing from his mind ahead of Saturday's rematch.

"What are you talking about?" he joked when asked about that loss. "We've moved on from that one.

"We can't look back because if we do that, we're going to keep finding excuses and things to complain about.

"The next opportunity is Saturday night here at home against another good footy team. We just need to make sure we play well.

"We did that for 30 minutes last weekend and for big periods the week before. We've just got to do it for longer periods and more consistent weeks in a row."

While Castleford are a long way from play-off contention, Warrington have a top-six spot to protect in the final seven rounds.

Carr is expecting another tough test a week on from a humbling defeat to 12-man Wakefield Trinity.

"It's the same as I say every week," he added. "Every team can be good on their day and we've got to make sure we're good on our day.

"We like playing here at home. Hopefully we get a good turnout from our fans and they give us the extra edge when we need it."
