Quote: Last Son of Wigan "The way they keep the ball alive and encourage open play is a joy to watch. Keeping defences guessing and on their toes with strong second phase play off their offloads always looks threatening. On the other hand, our mechanical structured play is both predictable and at times boring to watch.

I miss the days of two halves who could play more off the cuff, creating and playing what it's front of them etc. FWIW I don't blame our players for that..'"

I have a problem in accepting the 'story' that has been propagated by the Sky commentary team and blindly accepted.

Cas do indeed pass the ball more but would it surprise you to learn that Wigan offload the ball more than Cas do?

In fact a check of the Super League Stats site revealed that over the season Wigan offloaded 348 times and Cas 320 times. Wigan are second only to Leeds. Facts eh, they can get in the way of a good argument. But this particular 'fact' might suggest that the coach isn't telling the players not to offload at all. That the players haven't then been able to capitalise is hardly the fault of the coach.

Quote: NickyKiss "Zero Red Cards

Seven Yellow Cards (lower end of the league)

but 75% more than cas

Eighth in the list of penalties conceded (below Cas)

5% less penalties, well done for not getting caught!

Zero members of our squad at the start of 2017 caught taking drugs (2 from Cas)

0 from Cas at the start of 2017 and only 1 during the season Chase was with Widnes

1 major trophy (Cas won a new tray for the tea lady to bring out the brews on)

1 trophy won by beating 1 team as compared to 1 'tea tray' won by winning 25 of 30 superleague games '"


lets @cherry pick' a few more statistics

29% more tries than the 'mighty' wigan
67%more goals
38% more try assists
31% more tackle busts
32% more clean breaks
points difference of 429 compared to your massive 23

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png

And all for........nowt icon_lol.gif

You see the difference between clubs like Wigan and Cas is that in your best ever season, you've won only the LLS, which nobody cares about. In a poor season for us we became World Champions.

I have nothing against Cas, as I pointed out I was there on Saturday supporting them but the ill feeling towards Wigan is incredible.
