Wigan haven't fielded near their strongest side I agree but then again their style allows 'inferior' squad players to come in and nothing much changes so absence of players isn't as bad as it is as say Leeds who rely on key individuals.
Ateotd I don't think there's a big gap between teams compared to say several years ago when Saints and Leeds were well ahead of the rest in 07-09.'"
I would say Wigan are ahead of everyone with a near full team on the pitch but with them struggling a bit with injuries it has brought them into the pack.
Like you say, Cas great to watch but still need to prove themselves when it matters.
There isn't a right lot to fear from the rest of the league at the minute so it is looking fairly open for at least a couple of play off spots.
