I expect your lot to win comfortably, we have 4 players to come back but saving them for Sunday, plus Hudson and Orr are out through niggling injuries, add that to the 5/6 or so injuries we have already.

Don't get me wrong im making no excuses nor do i want us to be hammered, but if it gets us a win on Sunday against the Bulls then we'll be happy.

Given we'll be going with 2 props (assuming Colet gets a ban) I'd happily take a win by even the smallest of margins.

Danny Orr and Hudson are both in your 19 man squad or have i missed something?

Thats exactly why the Challenge cup should never be knocked in comparison to the Superleague title.

In the Challenge cup you cant pick and choose your performances and play for losses one week in the hope of a win the following week.
That thinking by the Cas club will allow Wigan to go top of the league and make inroads into the points difference tally. if that happened in the Cup Castleford quite rightly would take no further part in the competition....

Well he's not exactly saying we're going to lose and get thrashed on purpose. Even if we do lose, I do hope someone at the club realises that Points difference might be a topic for us to focus on too.

30 start is a lot, I'd hope the players for us realise they're better then that, I don't for a second expect us to win but i do hope we give everything.

LOL

Wigan 50 - 6 Cas.

Without Orr playing Chase will have to do everything. We wont have a prayer and i think Sam Tomkins will tear us apart.
