Oh I agree with that but we've shown before even with a beaten pack we can win because we can create space on the edges from nothing. Our props will coast into the Super 8s I suspect. Only Tautai is showing any fight.

I was really surprised that Bretherton was picked over Navarette. Bretherton carries well but his fitness is really poor.

That's more like the Wigan we all know

Happy to prove your preconceived idea right..







Come back in October...

As someone pointed out on one of the other threads, if Cas fans expect to come on the Wigan board to find praise for how wonderful their side is, they are going to be in for a long wait, and I'm sure it would be no different on the Whinos' board, say, or anywhere else. FWIW, my take is that Cas are playing good attacking footy at the moment, and as Orrell Lad says upthread, it's good to see another side challenging at the top of the table, like Hull last year. Whether you'll be there at the business end of the season, time will tell.

Looking forward to the return game at the Jungle.

The point is nobody from Castleford has asked or wanted praise from anyone on here.
I too look forward to the return fixture as it's always good to test yourself against the big teams,If we are not "The Winners" at the end of October so be it.
Castleford's season and club can be judged on a lot more than winning the Grand Final.
It wasn't long ago that we were 24 hours from adminastration and in a VERY bad place,everything that has happened over the last few seasons shows how far we have come and we are just enjoying it the best we can.
Believe me I've been watching for over 35 years and have seen LOTS of ups and downs (but mainly downs lol).
I for one appreciate what Wigan have brought to our league for years,they are without doubt the club who brought the standard up throughout the league as everyone had to try to get to their level.
Good luck for the season (but not against us)

Tigerman: That's a very sensible post. I'm sure you'll find all (well 90%) of the Wigan posters on here are also sensible if, given the chance, you come on here discussing RL in a grown up fashion, prepared to offer praise and criticism where it's due, but you must have mentioned the 'famous Wigan Walk' a few times. Sure, some fans leave, regardless of the score, before the eighty minutes is up, but they do at all grounds.
