Castleford Tigers end losing run on bad night for Leeds Rhinos as Leeming heads for exit

Andy Last hailed “phenomenal” Bureta Faraimo as his two tries helped end Castleford’s losing run.

The ex-Hull winger’s brace proved crucial as Tigers finally got off the mark after four straight defeats. And the victory will do wonders for caretaker coach Last’s chances of getting the job permanently. He said: “I thought ‘B’ was sensational. He scored two tries, carried constantly and was great for us. He spoke at the end of the game with the cameras in our face and he gave me a hug.

“He’d put on a goal sheet he wants to be a player to be relied on and he was that tonight. He was exceptional but it was a one to 18 performance especially with George Lawler dropping out in the warm-up and Muizz Mustapha coming in. I’m emotionally drained but so pleased for the group of players who’ve done it tough in the first four games.
