If he was behind or on the whitewash before he jumped to catch the ball, he took it out and it would be a correct decision but I'm not convinced that was the case.

2 stone cold drops by Wire given as penalties against Wigan, yet when MM does the same in near identical circumstances it's given as a knock on and scrum feed to Warrington! I don't care which interpretation he gives but it HAS to be the same for both sides!

On Wigan's performance. I thought the returnees made a massive difference to the steel and resolve across the team but, not unsurprisingly, we were a little rusty. I think the handling will improve once we get a more settled side too.

Sam's organisation of the defence and the attack from behind the play is invaluable, you just don't get that from Tierney or Escare.

Good to see 'the move' back in full flow again and causing havoc

I thought that the returnees did very well considering the time they have been away, the pressure, and the conditions. Makes you wonder how the table would look if we had been running at an 85/90% injury free compliment for the season..... A relatively uninjured squad would have had a clean sweet, despite the very good team Cas have currently.

Great to get a win at last and even better that it seems the returnees came through unscathed.
That last two minutes though, not good for the ticker

A really sloppy performance, but I'll take the win.

The difference between anyone else on the books and Tomkins at FB is night and day.

Sam Powell received a caution from the disciplinary panel for standing on an opponent? I've watched it twice but didn't see it. Anybody know what this is referring to? Ratchford has been charged grade B for tripping Tomkins.

Wait grade B for Ratchford? I thought Tomkins dived?

Two professional fouls that didn't result in yellow cards and a 14-7 penalty count against us.

Safe to say we got a rough ride on Saturday. I thought we played the game at a greater pace and with more intensity then Wire for at least the first hour or so but that resulted in us actually being penalised. In the end the penalty count combined with our errors and the match fitness of our returning players in that heat nearly did for us.

No better way for the returning lads to get match fit mind.

Any news on Thaler being downgraded? He should be after his decision re Ratchford.

Would you really like to see less of Thaler, and more of the rest?

Just frustrated that some other club will benefit from Ratchford's action whereas all we got was a kick to touch and a set of six.

Oh yes, certainly. A suspension benefits our rivals. But twas ever thus.

A suspension could kill Warrington off, they really need to back up their effort against us next weekend or they're doomed to the middles.
Les Cats will definitely hope he picks a ban up.
