5 Oct: Super League Semi-Final: Wigan Warriors v Castleford Tigers KO 7.45pm (TV)

[Dave T]

After our win last night, I really hope Cas can do it. As much as I'd love to get our first ever Grand Final win against Wigan, us playing Cas next week would guarantee a new winner, on top of Catalans winning the cup this year- how could that not be positive. 

If it is Wire v Wigan again that would be the third time in the last 8 years or so. Still, I'd be ok with that, mind!

Whoever you play in the final, its yours to win, i reckon.

You are half right. I think the winner tonight will think they can go on to win

But that of course is all a bit previous... and sets them up for a fall!!!

The real big games are Semis. You never like to lose a semi, its a sickener, because if you win then you at least get there and if you then lose, you at least have The Event.

Exactly my thoughts on semi finals, there is no consolation in losing at that stage whatsoever, it hurts!

I hope Cas win and it’s a Cas v Wire final . Good to see a totally new final with two sides going for a first GF win 

[Exiled Wiganer]

I hope wigan win. 

[Exiled Wiganer]

Even if we win, I can think of 23 reasons why Warrington will be very confident. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Good luck Castleford

[ST1959]

Wigan to win with a top performance from John Bateman who should win man of steel award after Barbas pathetic defensive performance last night

[MattSantos]

I might set my alarm and try and stream this bad boy.

[Davo5]

Too close to call,wouldn't be surprised if Cas nicked it,either way should be another cracker.

If it does happen I'm sure someone on here will find a negative,this forum is pretty consistent.

[robins up north]

As a neutral it would be great tee a Cas v Warry final.

I think we should be pleased about the high standard of comments on here about low standards.

I second that notion

[Exiled Wiganer]

And I thought we were everyone’s second favourite team. At this rate even Just Browny will throw his hat in the ring for them there Tigers.

I would imagine wigan are most neutral fans 2nd favourite team...to win tonight

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

As a true neutral I tossed a coin to decide my allegiance.  It fell for Wigan after 5 attempts. 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

I'd love to see Shaun Wane's party pee'd on in a Grand Final and for the shaven ape to replicate "that" face when his masterplan of thuggery went belly up in the 2014 Grand Final but then that means Rugby League has to endure Warrington winning a Grand Final, therefore, I want Cas to win this and the Final. 

[Gray1967]

Hope Cas do this, for no more reason then I would like to them play Warrington in the final. Watching the footy tonight, so will watch after...hoping for another cracking game though.

[East of the Moon]

Really looking forward to this game, I want Castleford to win a GF, about time they had a GF on their CV...the great Wigan club have a CV of distinction.

[corvusxiii]

M62 slower than a ptb at the PieDome.

Do you really think that he told Ben Flower to go out and do that? Do you also think that Tony Smith told Ben Westwood to go out and banjo Blake Green in the first 5 minutes of the 2013 final? These things happen, regardless of the instructions from the coach.

One thing I would like to see is you call Shaun Wane that to his face, and not from behind the safety of your keyboard.
