Castleford Tigers head coach Danny McGuire has expressed his disappointment with his team’s performance after their 26-4 loss to Catalans Dragons. McGuire emphasized that certain players need to take responsibility for their actions on the field.
The Tigers’ defeat marked their fourth loss in the Super League this season, with the team struggling to find momentum under McGuire’s leadership. Despite a promising start, Castleford’s defensive efforts were lacking, allowing Catalans to secure a comfortable victory.
McGuire praised Sam Tomkins, the Catalans full-back, for his exceptional game management, stating that Tomkins “schooled” his team. McGuire acknowledged that his side needs to learn from their mistakes and improve quickly, with a short turnaround before their next match against Hull FC.
The Castleford boss highlighted the “fine margins” that cost his team the game, citing errors and a lack of discipline as key factors. McGuire stressed that his players must take responsibility for their actions and improve their performance to compete with top teams like Catalans.
With Hull FC up next, McGuire is focused on getting his team’s game in order and addressing the areas where they are struggling. The Tigers will need to regroup and refocus to secure a win against Hull FC and turn their season around.
