Thanks to your fans taking the effort to clap the Cas lads at the end. A few of them have tweeted about it, great sportsmanship.

Cas deserved it - the score flattered Wigan.

Wigan just had no answers. When you get beaten in that manner, the opposition deserve to be applauded. Unless it's Saints

Cas certainly deserved it, they were far and away the better team.

Cas best us fair and square and I quite enjoyed watching them play. I think Daryl Powell deserves a huge amount of credit and is another candidate now to take McNamaras England job when he finally calls it quits in 35 years.

It's a real shame the England role is a closed shop and nothing more then a job for one of the boys at a time we have 3 really strong candidates for the role.

+1

Yes. Quality game by Cas.

Well coached, skilfull players and a great team spirit.

I applaud good play but I really do think the home support is really embarrasing - do you think cas fans would clap wigan for beating them in a challenge cup qtr final? - I think everyone should take a reality check and stop being so nice to the opposition.
When cas beat us away earlier in the season you would have thought they had won every trophy in the world! they at least showed passion for THEIR club

...so do I.....



...I think you are right.

What do you expect our fans to do when the opposition have just put in a cracking performance? Some other clubs fans would probably boo their own team. I like the fact that Wigan fans can appreciate an excellent performance even if it's from the opposing side. Maybe Cas fans wouldn't applaud; I'd say the context makes a difference. We wouldn't applaud Saints, Wire, Leeds or most clubs for that matter but when it comes to a team that have done what Cas are doing this year with such meagre resources it's good to show a bit of class. It's not done in a patronising way either. Everyone around me was genuinely impressed.

Actually generating an atmosphere would be a nice thing at the DW, but the two aren't related, so I don't see applauding at the end of the game as much of an issue as the silence during it.

What do you think the applause was for at the end?

I don't think it's embarrassing at all that the crowd appreciate good play, it's something to be appreciated in it's own right, what should we be doing, booing them on the way back from a try like children? Do you really think that the players would do anything but laugh? Having played in front of a crowd, it's rare that you notice the noise unless there's a break in play.

Well played Cas. Hope you draw Widnes in the semis to give you an easy route Wembley. A deserved win and great performance

We've witnessed a huge amount of success at Wigan, we can afford to be humble in defeat.

Well after all the trash talking and putting Cas down over the last week, Including Shaun Wane. I hope you feel as stupid as you look. Cas were brilliant yesterday, Completely out played us in every department and fully deserved their win. I hope they go on to win the competition.

No such thing as an easy semi. Widnes are a good side this year and Kevin brown is capable of winning games.granted I'd rather play Widnes then Leeds but I wouldn't expect an easy game.
