Quote p.thomson69="p.thomson69"After the cuffing Castleford gave us nobody at the DW should be overconfident. '"
They did BUT playing in heavy rain four nights after a hell of a contest against Warrington was a massive contributing factor to that result, in my opinion of course. Not taking nowt away from Cas who fully deserved the win that night.... but we were dog tired.
The bigger picture is that Wigan generally haven't struggled against sides in the mid to bottom half in the table. Hull KR, Hull FC, Wakefield, Bradford, Widnes, Cas, Salford, London & Crusaders combined have won just 4 out of 70 clashes against Wigan in the last four years.
Those four were London (as Harlequins) winning from 24-6 down at Wigan in 2010. Widnes last year in a match that saw Wane rest many, like he did this year there. A loss to Bradford last year in which they beat us having gone to 12 men and that Cas result.
Shocks can happen but that record emphasises the size of London's task.
