Never been a wigan fan by any means, but last night you were defensive machines.... fair play. Here’s to a few decent battles in the future (where you aren’t as defensively dominant..... hopefully).

With so many players and coaching staff saying farewell, if there was ever a time to put indiscipline and sloppiness aside, it is now. I can only see another 80 minutes of near-perfection in terms of game management from this squad next week.

That was a superb display of defence - totally nullified anything Cas tried. Even though our attack was maybe not as sharp as it could be we never looked like being beaten.
Good performances all round - but thought Tommy and Sam T lead by example, Gildart completely took Shenton out of the game every time Cas gave him the ball with some fantastic tackles. Manfredi was strong as well for someone only just back from so long out.

Bateman was seriously made up at the end so funny to watch.

Well the performance was appreciated by the Wire and Saints fans , Wigan cheated , conned the refs and were dirty and niggling throughout the game

Do not eat that fruit. It is a bit sour.

Superb defence, reminded me of Roosters nullifying Melbourne in the NRL GF. Which is praise indeed.

I didn't think Cas were terrible, or 'bottled it', but they only played as well as they were allowed to. Wigan made sure they just couldn't get going.

And yes, Gale should have got 10 for his attempted decapitation. And that wasn't the only example of, shall we say, poor tackling technique

from Cas.

Manfredi came so close to scoring a carbon copy of his brilliant second from the other week.

Really the only downside for me; the very poor crowd, especially considering the number of Cas fans. Without them, it would have been a four-figure gate, which is just abysmal however you slice it.

As some of you will know I am a huge SW critic, however that last night was simply an outstanding defensive display with 1-17 each putting their bodies on the line. It was as good as a defensive performance I think you’ll see anywhere and it’s quite right SW gets the plaudits and praise for being responsible for that.

Offensively it wasn’t a spectacle but I thought we were just patient didn’t really test out Cas’ defensive line too much, knowing full well we’d break them down in D. For me I don’t think any one player stood out as I thought all were exceptional. It was a true team performance and to keep a team like Cas who have immense attacking prowess scoreless is a superb feat.

Yet the atmosphere was good again, not unlike Easter Monday against Hull KR. Thanks in part to the wonderful Cas following this time. Kudos to them.

Any Wigan fans that chose not to go missed out.

Saints fans are an utter joke! They hide away on their own forum, patting themselves on the back for being 'the best side in Superleague' when they haven't got past a semi all season (if you don't count the semis they all got on thinking Barba the Turnstile was going to win them a Grand Final!

)

To be fair they did look good beating the mighty Widnes etc. Pity they couldn't beat anyone of note when it actually mattered. Shame that. Still... they are the best team in Superleague..

I loved watching the Red Vee TV post match video the other night with the proper scouse bloke saying ‘we’re still the best team’ and them saying they wouldn’t blame the system of only getting one chance to get to Old Trafford whilst blaming the system!

I remember the same guy being on the Wigan fan tv site before our game at the DW talking about how they’d firstly win the Challenge Cup and it would then be interesting to see how they’d respond in their run to winning the Grand Final. The big two were already in the bag in his mind!
