Not sure I entirely agree.
Our props are very poor at the moment and we are easily dominated. The Cas pack had plenty in hand tonight I thought

Any news on who else is back next week?

Hopefully Powell hasn't joined the list

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.

tough to take, the record books won' show we had injured players you just have to get on with it, although put gelling in at and we possibly win that.

Thought Tauitai was excellent.
Conversely, I thought Leuluai was awful. For a half, he does nothing.

How many money balls to the wingers did we bomb, must have been 5 at least?!

Wouldn't say they were 'bombed'. Most were poor decisions and the winger had no chance.

Wouldn't disagree with that.
We had a couple of good wingers tonight but we weren't capable of giving them any any quality ball to give them any chances

Firstly Cas were better and deserved their win.

Secondly any side missing Tomkins, Manfredi, Gelling, Burgess, Tierney, Bateman and O'Loughlin would struggle to beat the form side in the league.

We were very close to beating Hull and Leeds and had opportunities tonight. I am more optimistic about our chances of winning the CC and GF this season than I was last season when we looked awful at times!

Our worst performance over the four games for me. Whilst Cas are flying high I don't think they played particularly well tonight (they didn't need to).

For the first ten minutes Cas were woeful, but Wigan were clueless. The writing was on the wall, five sets in their twenty and never looked like scoring (shades of last year).

Other than a magic five minute spell on twenty minutes and scoring in the first few minutes of the second half (like Hull did) then there wasn't much from them. They looked the far stronger side though, making 40-50 metres every set.

Wigan's go forward was much worse. 20-30 metres if that. Pinned in own twenty time and time again. Their kicking game was the killer for us tonight. Theirs was very good, ours was shocking....literally shocking.

Our forwards (Tautai an exception) are really letting us down and have done for a few weeks now giving our halfbacks no chance to put any sort of moves on. Our markers were poor at times giving too many easy yards up the middle.

We need a couple of bodies back as soon as possible, do that we won't be far off come Top 8's time.
It is frustrating though 2nd year on the trot we're playing half a team.

The lad playing on your right edge looked good. Particularly his inside ball to Escare.

Add to that list McIlorum and Gildart.

How is Gildart?

Davies.
I was directly in line with that in the south stand and it was a lovely piece of rugby.
He is potentially a little gem and will prove difficult to dislodge when we get people back.
