Castleford Tigers boss Danny McGuire:
“I was really pleased with the boys, I thought they worked tirelessly and really committed, and I don’t think the score reflected the contest.
“Leeds were in a close contest and they knew it, but they took their opportunities, and rugby league is all about moments. I’m not pleased because we lost, but you can take a defeat if you’ve left everything out there, and I think we did that.
“We haven’t got the win tonight but we know we’re on the right track and we’ve just got to keep working hard.
“There is frustration at times because everyone wants it now. The good times are around the corner, but it will be through patience and hard work and commitment that we get there.”
Leeds Rhinos head coach Brad Arthur:
“We’re chasing just being a little bit better each week and getting our combinations right. Where we sit in the table is nice but not where our priorities are right now. If we get those things right the win column takes care of itself.
“I thought it was pretty professional. We made limited errors and we talked about just making sure we got to the end of the tackle count, and that’s where all our points would come.
“They [Castleford] really had a crack in the first half and the amount of work they had to do took its toll on them. But it’s a credit to our guys for being patient. They need to understand that we don’t need to be winning on the scoreboard after 10 minutes – it doesn’t matter.”
