Hull FC boss Tony Smith sensed a “horrow movie” unfolding as his side almost threw away victory against Castleford.
The Black and Whites were 32-6 ahead just before the hour mark in their Super League opener having utterly destroyed their shambolic opponents. But they then pressed the self-destruct button, conceding four tries in 14 crazy minutes to leave them hanging on at the end in front of 15,383 fans, Hull's biggest crowd in six years.
Castleford’s Joe Westerman, playing his first game since infamous footage of him performing a sex act broke, was booed every time he touched the ball by FC fans and regularly taunted. But he almost had the last laugh.
