it's been an excellent game, not many sports have as much action and barely having time to catch your breath both as a speccie and as a participant.

That’s very good is that! 

[snapski]

Wow. All you doubters, me included. 

Wigan shouldn't lose from half time.

[chuffer]

Great come back and end to the game

[Guest]

Awful by wigan. Shouldn’t have thrown away that half time lead.

[Padge]

Good game, Wigan ran out of troops and Cas got back their mojo in the second half.

[Futtocks]

Now let's allow our heart-rates to slow a bit. What a match!

[Denton Rovers RLFC]

I said last week that Cas had yet to hit their peak

[andyscoot]

Hard to take after that dominant first half but we'll done Cas. Didn't help losing 2 major players but Cas were good for the win.

[Damien]

Well played Cas, a great 2nd half. Missed goal kicks and injuries very costly for Wigan.

[Man of Kent]

Super League game worthy of the name. Trueman my MOTM.

You've nowt to worry about there.

[johnh1]

Great game. Well played Cas.

[Futtocks]

With Escare on the outer, who else at Wigan can kick conversions apart from Hardaker? It has hurt them before, and may be a weakness this season too.

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Bobby Hicks gutted about this. Head in hands for him in Perpignan.

The biggest weakness is our lack of good forwards and clueless half backs. After Sammut and Greenwood went off injured we had nothing to offer.

[DavidM]

Cas hit the start of that second half with real grunt up the middle which got them rolling and Wigan never really got a grip on it or much of a foothold to counter . Guys like Clark and Cook set a top platform 

[Man of Kent]

Liam Watts is playing like a Trojan. Love his upright style.

[wiganlad]

Irrespective of goal kicking should not throw a 16 point lead away and lose the second half 30-4. Not good enough

Wigan gave away soft tries on their own line.  Too naive?    They allowed Cas to make too much easy yardage. OK the pack gave a lot of effort but it was very inexperienced and Wigan did not play the simple yardage game themselves. Possibly because the 7 was out injured.

Now again of course they are going to be missing a good nr 7 for a few more weeks.  I do not see Wigan getting settled for all the rest of the season.  The other issue is that the left edge is starved of the ball.

[Kenilworth Tiger]

well what a difference a week makes - our forwards were absolutely immense

 

so so chuffed right now

 

[silverback]

cracking game,how tough is clarkie ger in.

Genuine Lolz at Phil Clark 

He called it almost right, Wigan backs crucified Cas first half, Cas forwards crucified Wigan second half,  could have gone either way in those last few minutes.
