Wakefield Trinity thrashed Warrington Wolves, while Castleford Tigers proved too strong for the Salford Red Devils in Sunday's Super League action.
Caius Faatili barged over for an early double and Wakefield proceeded to run riot against woeful Warrington in a one-sided Super League clash at the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
Josh Griffin also crossed the line twice in a thumping seven-try, 40-10 win for the hosts that was supplemented by six kicks from the impeccable Max Jowitt.
For Sam Burgess' visitors, the scenes on the final hooter proved a far cry from last week's Challenge Cup semi-final celebrations following their victory over Leigh.

Apart from briefly stirring towards the end of the first period, Burgess' men looked utterly toothless and even the imminent prospect of a return to Wembley cannot distract from the fact they continue to languish in a lowly ninth place in the Super League table.
In contrast, Daryl Powell's Wakefield lifted themselves into the play-off places after this latest rampant performance, in which they made their intentions clear from the opening moments.

Australian full-back Hoy went over twice in the first half and, after further tries before the break from centre Zac Cini and wing Innes Senior, the Tigers led 24-0 at half-time.
Spirited Salford cut the deficit with two tries in quick succession from Matty Foster and Nene MacDonald early in the second period before the Tigers restored control to complete the double this season over the visitors.
Hoy's third effort was sandwiched by scores from Muizz Mustapha and Alex Mellor and after MacDonald's second try for Salford, Daejarn Asi's late effort completed the scoring.
