DARYL Powell was able to celebrate his first home Super League game as Warrington Wolves boss with victory over former club Castleford Tigers.
Like last week, Josh Charnley scored twice as The Wire put in an altogether more convincing display to make it two wins out of two under their new coach.
Robbie Mulhern and Peter Mata'utia both scored their first Wire tries to go with first-half efforts from Matty Ashton and George Williams.
