Not sure if it's been mentioned, but O'Loughlin was absolutely shattered today - why was he kept on the field?

Clearly miles away from match fitness.

Sorry to be a party pooper but I'm on Wane's side all the way.
What ab out the BLATANT lying on? Ball strip over the line..PENALTY TRY end of. First time we lie on..Penalty.
Hudds got away with it , and it was noted and used and Cas won. We played crap but still should have won, all hail the new "flexible" rules.

Ball steal over the line hasn't been a penalty try for six years

We were outcoached and outplayed and should be able to admit that without trying to blame the ref.

Some great posts on here , The rough decisions mainly went against Cas and recently at Manchester you were delighted to be laying on in the tackle .

we lost because we lost the forward battle full stop.why? too many of our pack were clearly not match fit.it very clearly needed an injection of pace from 25 minutes or so.i was preying our coach would switch gw to 9 and bring rocky on but it was not to be.if taylor was dropped because he does not want to play for us he should be sent to workington for 2 years,if he says no stop his pay and let him rot.a fully fit forward of his class would have made a huge difference.dont panic yet onwards and upwards to the grand final.

Could SOL be carrying a bad injury?

Seems to me that SOL has a injury that is causing him problems that maybe the club doesn't want to release. He misses a hell of a lot of games in the the league but then brought back for the big games.

He's still looking good and Vital to Wigan but always looked knackered to me in recent times. Maybe due to not playing but like I said, it's like wane is using him sparingly.

Thoughts ?

Wigan played Salford on the 22nd of May when this present controversy about obstruction reared its head, all through the match (especially the first half ) the video ref was used for persistent obstruction in their eyes.

We beat Salford even though it took a bit of time to find a way of beating them, but remember it was Salford.

On the 23rd of may I raised the thread 'Video Refs', which was discussed at length.

Since then we have played Huddersfield away and Castleford at home and in both matches we have looked off the pace and lacking in ideas, especially after the Cas match.

This is just my opinion if only for the reason that I think Wigan's main attacking weapon has been put under a lot of pressure, and at present Wigan do not seem to have an answer for it.

JUST MY OPINION.

You're seriously complaining about the officials after some of the shockers that went in your favour over the course of the game, particularly the first half. Wow.

Re Powell at 6.

He was in the SS bar before the match and said he had tweeked the injury he got when in Oz for the WCC.

I can only think of the Bowen knock on...

i suggest you think or watch again then

I am impressed on reading this thread that none of you realise how arrogant the Wigan club seem to the rest of the rl world.

i am not impressed that on your 4 post you come on our board and slag our fans off.dont know about any other posts but i have posted not really impressed with mr wanes use of subs, picked too many unfit forwards and cas turned us over and i hope they win it.now this is for grimmy re my post of 23 july 13,i said we would win the double,he said,well he can tell you better than me.ok this year we will win the grand final again,do i have to say it again grimmy,we will win the grand final again,ok been drinking pints of jennings cumberland ale tonight,cheers every one and good night from an exiled wiganer living in keswick.

Did you type all that without taking a breath. You should stick to Bank's mild like me. Cheers.
