Castleford Tigers: Prop Mariano consigns annus horribilis to history
Mariano, 29, scored a crucial try just moments after coming off the substitutes’ bench in the 38-24 win over Catalans Dragons two days ago, which confirmed Tigers’ place in the First Utility Super-8s.
“It is great to be back,” Mariano said of his game-turning comeback. “The fans welcomed me back really well and I got a try with my first touch of the ball, so it was really good. To finish the game off and play the full second half was tough on the lungs, but I am glad I got through the game. It was nice to walk away with no pains and to have that confidence that nothing is niggling any more.
