RELIEVED Craig Lingard survived a Challenge Cup scare to get his first win as Castleford boss but some players were left shaking their heads.
The Super League club twice had to from behind to beat Championship part-timers Batley and secure a place in tomorrow's quarterfinal draw.
Innes Senior scored two tries on his 100th career appearance and England hooker Paul McShane also impressed in his first game of the season after injury.
But Castleford struggled at times going up Batley's famous sloping pitch into a fierce wind.
Lingard is a legend at Bulldogs, having scored 142 tries in 205 games for them and leading them to Wembley last year before taking on the Castleford gig. He's even got a terrace named after him.
