Widnes coach Denis Betts joins Jon Wells at the touchscreen to analyse his side's 38-28 victory over the Tigers.
Widnes repelled a late fightback from Castleford to run out winners at the Mend-a-Hose Jungle on Thursday night.
The Vikings led 38-12 with ten minutes remaining before a late comeback threatened to wrestle the game away from the visitors. Tigers' Larne Patrick launched the fightback with a try before Luke Gale scored off a Denny Solomona break from the restart.
Paddy Flynn, on loan at the Tigers from Widnes, then scored his third try of the night to set up a thrilling end to the match with five minutes remaining. However the home side could not quite finish off the fairy-tale as they failed to register any more points.
Denis Betts' side now find themselves in seventh place, level on points with Wakefield, while Castleford sit one place above them. The Widnes coach joined Jon Wells to analyse the win that keeps his side in the hunt for a top 8 spot at the conclusion of the regular season.
