It was a tired performance and one that I was expecting to be honest so I wasn't surprised when it did happen. I understand Cas not agreeing to switch the game but we knew we were playing Warrington on a Monday when the fixtures were compiled (or so I recall as I booked the day off) - so why didn't we make sure we had this fixture set for a sunday I don't know. I understand you can't switch it but it shouldn't have needed to be switched, it should have been on the sunday to start with.

Aside from the players being switched off I'm wondering if the coacing team were already planning what they were doing this weekend as it could be seen to all that McIlorum was struggling but it took until the last 10 minutes to bring Powell on? Was Powell injured?

That said they haven't become bad players and coaches overnight, it was just one of those days. Fair play to Cas, Chase ran the show and we made Tansey look like a decent player! I used to hate it when Wigan fans applaued other teams scoring so maybe I'm showing signs of growing old and less petulant but I couldn't help but applaud Cas's second try. That was superb rugby.

Thought Powell played alright considering it was his first game in this code. Other than that I can't take any positives out of it. Just need to chalk it off and move on.

Just to clarify, We also did the picture at Millenium Magic after beating Wakefield, It may be a regular thing now if we win away from home, Give the fans who have made the trip a photo with them and the team in. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Dvd's are provided the next day of all other games (Especially the wins)

You played as well as the conditions and the opposition allowed you to. We did the same, Just our 1 Half Back controlled the game a lot better than your 2. As simple as that.

I don't really understand where all the stick for this team photo is coming from, the players walk over to clap the travelling fans, as most teams do, and a photographer says why not get a picture in front of them? even if intentional it shows to me cas are trying to unite the team and fans, which is a good thing.





Nah mate if i had to pick a highlight against Wigan it would be the playoffs in '99, i don't think any fan has said last night was the highlight of their life, steady on

Billy whizz's lad had a couple of howlers last night but i think he will come alright, see you next season.

We sell dvds of all of our games

That's Wigan all over Thanks oh great Wigan for letting a lowly club like Castleford beat you - be us ever so humble. Had it not for being for a couple of dodgy decisions at home we would have done double!!!

So this was a fantastic win for Cas?
Good grief!

And this thread is why no-one likes Wigan. Genetically condescending.

Do you really think it bothers us..?

In fairness, we sell all DVDs of our games. It's simply good business to sell them as quickly as possible after a win and 'strike while the iron is hot' as supporters are still riding on the crest of a wave, rather than by the middle of the week when attention has turned to our next game.
As for the photograph, as far as I could see it was orchastrated by a photographer within the stadium anyway, rather than been the idea of the players.

On a Wigan fans' forum? You trawl a Wigan forum for comments about a defeat. The thread is written from a Wigan perspective as that's the way we Wiganers have looked at the game. Your comment shows why we struggle with Yorkshiremen - genetically opinionated in the face of reality.

I bet he looks for our results before his own sides results. He is more of a Wigan hater than a fan of his own club. Its great that our great club can attract so many haters. Gives them an active forum to join in everyday of the week.

Let Cas have their five minutes of fame. For all that this is the most incredible victory in their history, it won't stop them being kicked down to a lower division when the league is restructured.
