Thu 22 Apr: SL: Wigan Warriors v Castleford Tigers KO 18:00

[Rupert Prince]

Sounds like a tough tough game.  As expected I guess.  Both sides sound solid enough.  Just a bit of extra spark from Wigan (?), and must have contained Cas (?) who obviously can score tries if the opportunity is there.

I am not sure it was extra spark, as Cas’ attack looked slicker. I think it was that our defence was better than theirs by a wider margin than their attack was better than ours. Cas have a mistake or missed tackle in them, and we are in good shape to take advantage. The DW looked great and they had fancy electric adverts for probably high end sponsors. We seem to have moved on from Hedgehog Gutter Brushes.

Our fitness won the game for me. We got stronger and stronger and Cas wilted towards the end. We can’t make ground early in games but by the end we’re rolling teams down field.
