Fri 5th April : SL : Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors KO 7:45pm TV

[Old Frightful 5,714]

Discuss Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors here.

[Exiled Wiganer 3,419]

We have had some routs there in the last few years but I think we will be pretty competitive on Friday. We have our first choice back line for the first time in years. If our forwards can hold their own we should be fine. By the way,  if he plays, Partington has something about him. He could go far.

10-40 Wigan

Before seeing last nights game I would have gone for the Tigers but to have lost to, and be outplayed at times be such a shambles as the Rhinos last week puts their current form in a new light.  The pies to win.............said through gritted teeth

[JohnM 6,425]

Powell is angry. (default),  Wigan are weakened. Cas will be up to their usual tricks. Cas to win.

[Man of Kent 5,656]

Hard to call and I’m happy about that. 

[RidingPie 1,121]

I think Cas will be smarting after last week, while obviously I want Wigan to win and even though last weeks was a good win for Wigan I’m not sure we’ve genuinely turned the corner yet. 

[snapski 900]

No way Cas win with that team out.

Backline looks shoite, to be fair 

[Man of Kent 5,656]

Genuine Lolz at Phil Clark 

[Dunbar 7,201]

First time I have seen Morgan Smithies play since he was outstanding for England Academy against the Australian Schoolboys.  He was physically dominant against the Aussies, looking forward to seeing how he steps up to the first team.

[Man of Kent 5,656]

Get into ‘em!

[Man of Kent 5,656]

Feels like this will be a belter

A lot of end-to-end action so far.

[Futtocks 12,603]

Strength from Greenwood, carrying tacklers over the line to score. Zak misses the kick, so everyone's happy, er, right?

Quality try from Gildart that.  Great footwork.

[Futtocks 12,603]

Gildart in for a quick Wigan second. Good balance.

Baldrick gets Wigan's third!

[Man of Kent 5,656]

Fark me what a try. Simply beautiful timing from Gildart to Williams 

[Man of Kent 5,656]

14-0 Wigan on 18 mins

[Denton Rovers RLFC 991]

I said last week that Cas had peaked.

If this is the change in style that Lam wanted (and took a few games to implement), I like it!

[Man of Kent 5,656]

Wigan will go fifth tonight and all the talk about crisis will be forgotten
