St Helens came from behind to end Castleford’s unbeaten run and leave the Tigers still looking for a first away win over them since 1992. <br /> <br />The visitors led 8-0 and 14-6 in a thrill-a-minute first half at Langtree Park, but crucially lost stand-off Ben Roberts with a leg injury after 23 minutes, while influential prop Grant Millington went off on the hour with a hand problem. <br /> <br />Centre Matty Dawson, deputising for the injured Mark Percival, scored two of Saints' five tries in the 28-22 victory as they made it three wins from their opening four games to close to within two points of leaders Widnes Vikings. <br /> <br />St Helens dominated the first half, with hooker James Roby causing havoc around the ruck and skipper Jon Wilkin and scrum-half Luke Walsh forcing six goal-line drop-outs between them, but the Tigers tackled furiously to keep themselves in the game and looked threatening on the counter-attack. <br /> <br />Trailing 16-14 at the break, Castleford ought to have made more of a clean break by full-back Luke Dorn but they drew level with a Ben Crooks penalty nine minutes into the second half. <br /> <br />That was as good as it got for the Yorkshiremen, however, as they continued to spend most of the game pinned inside their own half. <br /> <br />Castleford were left counting the cost of defeat after losing three key players to injury. <br /> <br />Stand-off Roberts went off with a foot injury after 23 minutes which left the Tigers a playmaker short, and they also lost forwards Millington and Junior Moors in the second half <br /> <br />"There are a lot of injuries around in Super League at the moment and we've picked up three which could be really costly," said coach Daryl Powell. "They are key players for us. <br /> <br />"Obviously it's very difficult when you lose a half-back who is on top of his game. <br /> <br />“We had just scored a try and I thought we were on top at that point. We were down to one sub for the last 30 minutes which is tough."
