Castleford coach Daryl Powell says his side are in the perfect place to launch their bid for a maiden Super League title after coming from 12-4 down to beat Huddersfield 44-12 in the English Super League.
It was the Tigers' fourth win in a row and moves them to within a point of second-placed Wigan.
"I thought we were really good, particularly with the way we're defending at the moment," Powell said. "We conceded a couple of soft ones at the start but after that we defended well.
"Over the last month I think we've conceded 10 and a half points a game which is really good.
The win keeps alive Castleford's chances of a home semi-final as they set their sights on going one better than their runners-up spot in 2017.
"We're ticking along nicely," he said. "I don't think it really matters whether we're away or at home, if we continue in this form we'll take some beating.
"We feel we've got everything needed at the moment, we have to bring it all together on game night when it really matters."
Huddersfield made a dream start with early tries from Adam O'Brien and Lee Gaskell but they collapsed alarmingly in the second half, conceding five tries in the last 23 minutes.
"I thought we started the game reasonably well ... (but) at the moment we're a tired footy team, there's not much petrol left in the tank."
