When Sherwin was in Oz he was routinely listed as one of the many halves that put the Brits to shame.

He's one of the worse 7's I've ever seen come over here from Oz, terrible player.

Said last weekend i hoped we got Cas and thank god we did.

We'd have lost to every other side in the play offs playing like tonight but you can only beat whats put infront of you.

We'll be better next week i reckon.

You can't fault the defensive effort but our ball retention and attacking structures were appalling.

You do both teams a dis-service frankly, that was easily the best game of the playoffs so far. The respective coaches gave a pretty fair summary after the game, I thought.

In a nutshell we let ourselves down badly in the first half, especially the first 20, and to be honest we'd have done better without our 'senior player' Sherwin because he definitely saved his worst game of the season for last. That aside though, Wigan's defence was excellent, especially second half when it needed to respond to a Cas side who'd got over their playoff nerves.

I'm sure Cas would love a second chance to play the game, but it's good experience for last year's 'wooden spooners' and in the end I can't deny the best team won on the night. Good entertainment for the neutrals too, I imagine. Fair play.

Surprised by the pretty low crowd though. I was expecting five figures.

Sam looked injured.

That game tonight was a typical SL standard game. I lose more and more interest every year. I still love my team, but I don't look forward to games anymore, I just turn up out of pricipal more than anything.

First half we did okay, but should really have pushed on and sealed it. Mediocre second half performance and it could have been a different story had their kick not bounced into touch. Okay, a win's a win, but we won't be able to make the same mistakes against HKR and expect to come away victorious...

That was a good SL game tonight.

Strip away the Sky hype, there are no skills and the refs are killing it.

Again, a fairly typically ignorant comment. You can't judge a player on one game. He's playing with an ankle requiring surgery. Admitingly tonight he was very poor. In February he set up 5 tries as we beat you 28-22 am I right in thinking? I look at Sam tomkins tonight and think whats the deal about him? Well my memory aint too short and I remember him zipping us apart the other week!

No. He's a Saints fan, not a Wigan fan.

my apologies.

Both teams were very, very poor. Before that game I was worried about Wigan as a dark-horse for the grand final, and would have sent them to Saints if you get through to the semis. After seeing that, I'd play Wigan every day of the week ahead of Hudds or Catalans. I imagine the Leeds management will have seen it the same. You had absolutely nothing to offer except wide kicks to Richards. So you'll be playing Leeds if you beat HKR. Which looks unlikely on that showing.
