Sutton: Fight fire with fire

“If you let them play they will shoot you in the back. The main focus is pressure.
“We’re a defensive side and we need be at our best to solve what they throw at us.
“Being physical is the main thing – they have big bodies throughout the park, so it’s a case of slow them down, not let them do what they want.”
Shaun Wane reckons other teams have allowed Castleford to play their way.
“Their attack is fantastic, but we pride our defence very much,” said Wane.
“If you let them play they can score.”
