CASTLEFORD coach Daryl Powell laid into his side at half-time at the John Smith’s Stadium – and got a reaction in the second period but they had left their charge a little too late against the Giants.
“I had some frank words with the players at the interval and they took it on the chin,” said Tigers coach Powell.
“In the first half we had only half the sets.
“You can’t compete under those circumstances, but we showed an attitude change at half-time.
“We scored enough points to win a game. When we were eight points behind I thought the comeback was on.
“We were easily the best side in the second half, but we left ourselves with too much to do. There’s some key lessons to be learned.”
