Throughout his five-week spell as interim head coach, Andy Last has maintained that the Castleford Tigers players will decide whether he gets the permanent job.

In his last audition before his formal interview on Friday, there were enough coach killers to leave Last uneasy about his prospects.

Castleford did not lack for effort at Salford Red Devils but looked every inch a team that had scored just 90 points in the opening eight rounds and finished with only Greg Eden's early try to show for their endeavour.

The Tigers made error after error and only stayed in the contest thanks to sheer will.

There can be no doubt that Castleford have been playing for Last but sport deals in the currency of points and the Tigers have only two wins to show for his six games in charge to date.

After seeing off Wakefield Trinity last week to ease their early-season relegation concerns, Thursday's performance showed how far Castleford are from competing for a top-six place.

Salford were far from their free-flowing best but needed only two tries from Brodie Croft and Shane Wright to see off the blunt Tigers.
