I agree. Aside from the first 20 I didn't really notice him - thought he might have needed a new pea for his whistle by half time the way it was going.

Yes,but you would have to score 3 times to win. So 3 scores the difference.

I assume you were one of the supporters performing the Wigan Walk. Castleford scored again when you had already left the ground to beat the traffic.
Two tries, even if both were converted, would have made the score 22-27.

| Quote: nottinghamtiger "Good win for us. As much as Wigan's first-choice backs were absent, their forwards were out fought and out muscled (bar Tautai).
Whist Williams is clearly talented, Leuluai was extremely poor. He was simply a passenger. At least Smith gave them some organisation and a decent kicking game.
Although Tautai was good, the likes of Hardaker, Gale, Robets, McShane and Moors were head and shoulders above their Wigan counterparts.
However, prizes are not given out in April. Wigan will be challenging towards the end of the year and beating them in big games is a different proposition.'"
Agree with the above, although I think leluluai was pretty solid apart from his shocking kicking, I didn't think he could come back from NZ a worse kicker than when he left, he has!
I'm content with a WCC win, and 3 losses on the bounce, there was always going to be a dip. If we manage to get everyone fit we will be in the mix, no doubt about that.

| Wigans tactic of passing the ball into touch every set was equally as baffling.

| I get Wigan has injuries. Cas had 2 monster players missing too. So if Wigan fans are happy losing 27 10 to Cas in their own back yard then so be it. Let them have their "happiness" . Personally I'm chuffed with our defence, game management and I agree with printer, Chase isn't needed but is an added luxury. Attitude huge for our next game.

I don't deny any of that, simply commenting on how I felt about the game.

Why you're trying to argue this is honestly so weird.
I said Cas only scored 2 tries more than us. That is a simple fact that even Yorkshire-educated folk can understand.

Look back. You did not say that. You said two "scores" not two "tries". In fact, Wigan would clearly have had to score more than two tries to overcome a 17 point margin, even if they were both converted. In fact, even if both tries were 8-point tries, another score would be required.

| Cas were easily the better team, We looked tired and clueless like we have for big parts of the past few weeks.
We had a decent amount of first choice pack (who were dominated easily)
It's fair to say we had a reserve back line but the pack is what gives the backs the platform.
Our pack was pathetic yet again but not taking away from Cas pack that dominated them.
our young lads in the back line deserve the packs pay, they were that much better.
looking forward to the rest of the season and some great tussles.

McClorrum, Bateman, and Flanders weren't playing, that's half your first choice pack, isn't it? They'd have made a big difference to Wigan. I'd say that Wigan do need at least 3 quality props, though.
