+<br>Newcomers Toulouse's strong start to the  season continued with victory at home over Castleford Tigers.<br>
+<br>Trailing at the break, Olympique ran in four attempts in overall to [declare](https://qa.atrapasuenos.cl/?p=797) two wins from 2 following their triumph at Wakefield last weekend in their very first Super League project in 4 years.<br>
+<br>Two attempts from Reubenn Rennie and one each from Mathieu Jussaume and Benjamin Laguerre indicated the home side got the 2 points in the south of France.<br>
+<br>Krystian Mapapalangi and Jason Qareqare touched down for Tigers but they went down to a second consecutive league defeat under new head coach Ryan Carr.<br>
+<br>In simply the 2nd minute, Rennie broke through the Cas defence before Jussaume's perseverance permitted him to barge over and open the scoring.<br>
+<br>Cas then got on the board when Tom Weaver's accurate up-and-under was gathered by Mapapalangi to dot down under the sticks before Weaver included the additionals to get the lead.<br>
+<br>[Pierre-Jean Lima](http://gitlab.hy-bang.com8091/karrywillcock/the-bet-9ja-promotion-code-2026-is-yohaig/issues/1) knocked-on millimetres in front of the Tigers tryline but they were not to be rejected three minutes afterwards when a charming show-and-go from Cesar [Rouge allowed](https://www.adpost4u.com/user/profile/4369785) the space for Rennie to power over and put [Toulouse](https://pricelesslib.com/author/earnestineofly/) back in front.<br>
+<br>A beautiful tipped pass to the wing from Mapapalangi established Qareqare, who found room in the left corner to dive over for an excellent try however Weaver struck the post with his conversion effort meaning Tigers remained level after a pulsating first half an hour.<br>
+<br>A dreadful mistake from Toulouse wing Laguerre under the high ball enforced six-again and Weaver kicked the visitors ahead in front of the sticks.<br>
+<br>In the dying moments of the first half, Darnell McIntosh prevented a specific 4 points for the hosts, tapping the ball behind when Jussaume seemed destined to score a second as Tigers' defence repelled their hosts on four sets of 6 to maintain a half-time lead.<br>
+<br>After Toulouse effectively challenged a knock-on, the home side returned in front after the break when a quick move to the left allowed Laguerre to score in the left corner.<br>
+<br>With less than 20 minutes staying, Rennie was too powerful for Tigers captain Alex Mellor as he barged over from [close quarters](https://lavallee-avon77.fr/segpahtm/photosegpa19/) for his 2nd to make the match a two-score video game for the very first time.<br>
+<br>At this phase Castleford lost their [discipline](https://lksa.cc/marierodger507) and, after conceding another penalty in their own half, Rouge notched over 2 points to seal the win as Chris Atkin was sent to the bin for a ball steal.<br>
+<br>The visitors stopped working to create in the 2nd half and, while down to 12 guys, Mellor hopped off injured with moments left.<br>
