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.

Call it 4 scores with Escare's goal kicking.

It's been quite a time since an all Yorkshire Grand Final.
Bring it on.

You spent the best part of our first wins blaming our opposition defense, now your belittled into word games

And also when I said wigg'n was spouting shhhhugar BD said he was embarrassed by suggesting we would be up there....... hey ho

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.

Agree totally!!!

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.

Well - i'm happy for any kind of win at the home of the champions. Over on Cas Forum all the other cas fans seem to by happy. Wigan fans on this thread are happy with a 27-10 loss because it was the beginning of the season and they had 9 players out. Loads of neutrals who watched the game on Sky were happy. John Wells was obviously happy and so were all the Leigh and Saints fans.

Happy, happy people.

Agreed HT. We play the Goons again at the end of the month at our place. With possibly only Gildart and Samkins missing it should be a lot tighter and i'm expecting a better performance from them (unless the dreaded flu bug strikes again).

And Manfredi & Bateman

Must admit Castleford are a pleasure to watch and I see them as being strong contenders very strong, however History tells us Wigan will come good when it matters, for years now they only wheel out the likes of SO'L when it actually matters, and if last night was one of those nights they would have wheeled them out. You only have to see the 62-0 result Wakefield put on them last year and who won the grand final.

Wigan and Cas are the two best teams I've seen this year and unfortunately for us Wigan were at full strength when they played us in the opening fixture minus Bateman who was rested to keep him and Mossop apart.

As to last night I'm glad Cas won and the longer they carry on winning the longer they stay with one loss against their name.
