Always cracks me when they talk about the "Wigan walk". Most other clubs crowds would not be noticed, even if they all moved together en mass. They can slip silently down their little rat holes and nobody notices.

Apparently we have not lost two in the trot since 2009, don't know if true. Chip paper now, move on.

I suggest you check your facts. The Hull KR v Huddersfield Giants game was scheduled for Friday 7th June in fixture list released by the RFL.

Whats the odds on 3 on the trot

Yesterday morning I watched Souths v Canberra and it was lashing down. Ray Warren and Phil Gould made the point about about playing "wet weather football".
"Get to the end of your sets and get a good kick in"

The first half at Wigan last night and that was exactly what was needed. Cas did it very well, but Wigan couldn't hold the ball for more than three tackles (I'd have loved to have seen the Phil Clarke stats style tables)

Too hold out against so much possession in that first thirty minutes was a good effort, but the two tries we gave away in the last ten were very poor, and then Pats knock on over the line just added injury to insult.

Because we turned so much ball over it meant we had even less in the half full tank.

Then in the second half our kicking game (particularly Blake Green) wasn't good enough. The better and fresher side won on the night, Cas got their tactics and application sopot on, and well done to them.

I don't understand why we didn't switch the game to Sunday though, we saw what happened to Huddersfield at HKR.

Anyway a bad night at the office, let's see what we are made of next week.

Apparently Cas refused which they are within their rights to do.

Then that needs changing. It's one of the things that the players union should try to do. I believe that in Australia any team that plays in the Monday night game automatically cannot play on the Friday.

Regards the performance it was clearly fatigue imo both mentally and physically. Reminded me of the game at Wire the week after Wembley. We made mistakes that we just don't make. Matty Smith dropping the ball in the middle of a pass, Blake Green playing the ball to nobody (partly because nobody was fit enough to keep up), Paddy dropping the ball over the line when the pick up was harder to do.

We're still a point clear and still need to lose another 2 to fail to finish in the top 2. We've a week off now and a few more players to come back so hopefully we can re-focus and put together another big unbeaten run to take us home.

Cas fans saying that last night was the greatest night of their lives.

Castleford players having a team photo in front of their fans like they've just won the league.

Castleford already selling the DVD of the game online and in their store.

Am I the only one over the moon that we lost? Just reminded me how much of a force we actually are...

Correct. Ian Millward mentioned it after the Hull KR/Huddersfield game as I said on another thread and I agree with it totally.

I'm not sure on the Cas thing but it was what I was told coming off the ground when I said we shouldn't have played tonight. You can't blame them though if that is the case as I'd rather play a tired side than a rested one.

I'm also hearing the Castleford Tigers open top bus parade will be leaving Wheldon Road at 12pm this afternoon

It must be great for diddy clubs like Cas to get a cup final every now and then,and a trip to a big Lancashire town like Wigan.

Possibly, but I bet the celebratory photo isn't.
