Tries: Holroyd, Ashton 2, King, Sipley, Harrison, Hayes, Currie Goals: Irwin 8
Warrington scored seven unanswered tries to come from behind and boost their flagging play-off hopes.
The Wire were hit by three tries in eight minutes from Cas trio Daejarn Asi, debutant Tylor Sharpe and Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e after taking an early lead through Adam Holroyd.
The Tigers’ inconsistency was quickly exposed however, as a series of defensive errors allowed Sam Burgess’ side to take full control as Matty Ashton claimed two tries, Toby King scored his 100th career try and Toafofoa Sipley, James Harrison, Leon Hayes and Ben Currie took advantage, while Ewan Irwin kicked eight out of eight conversion attempts.
Victory moves Wolves, who had only won one of their four July fixtures, above Hull Kingston Rovers into fourth place.
