Oops. Understandably both excited and extremely surprised.

Wigan's best so far.

Yeap,really good to see him back in form and hopefully injury free.

[Davo5]

I really don’t know why we bother going for goal from penalties.

[doc]

Think Wigan need to find a new Frano Botica.

[dkw]

I don't think I've ever seen a game with a team having such an abysmal kicking game.

I’d have the old one back.

Nah. They’ve been good except when they get near the Wigan 20. Then they fall to bits.

Really ? I beg to differ.

Now it is.

[Futtocks]

Still just one scoring kick in the whole match. Wigan have been in this situation before, and it has cost them victories. Hopefully not today.

[JohnM]

It's got to be the easiest problems to solve, to train a kicker.

  Brilliant idea from Powell putting Turner to stand off.He can't even pass a ball.Full time Rugby League players your having a laugh.

Not that it's much better, but Wigan have kicked 2. It's just that they've missed 4...

 

It says a lot when Wigan miss Matty Smith, and for more reasons than his goal kicking.

The Turner who has played stand off throughout his career?

[Jim Prendle]

Does this mean we have to keep Lam now?

Bitter sweet.

[Dunbar]

Tries just come easy to this Wigan team... prop in under the sticks now.

[Futtocks]

Nice pass from Partington to send Singleton in for a try that even Wigan could convert.

[Old Frightful]

I think Castleford's mistake was coming into this game full of confidence after beating Hull FC.

No explanation needed...

[Nate90]

The quality of the Wigan vs Castleford game was poor yet I thoroughly enjoyed it

[andyscoot]

Cas fans singing when the saints go marching in?

 

Edit: My bad, studio isn't at Cas.

A lot more from Wigan than I expected, even after the first half. I thought, if we did somehow win this, it'd be by a tiny margin.

Not a good day for the tipsters so far, either.

Wigan look to be coming into form at the right time. Great defence today. Despite a poor run they are still 4th and likely to avoid St Helens in the play offs until the final? 

[silcoates]

A tired cas.team.Like the ancient Weldon Road.Are they still planning a new ground or have all the plans been kicked down the M62?
