+1.

A terrific defensive display

Again another ‘hard fought’ win, thought it was an excellent tough game with everyone playing well, but feel. En Flower deserves better credit for the workload he puts in.

exactly what i was expecting last night - very tough physical game, but was quietly confident that Wigan would win as we have the big game experience and players who can perform when it matters

defensively we covered well all night and as already said by many Shenton must be having nightmares today as he got smashed every time he got the ball

my only gripe is that we should be seeing games last that every week (not aimed at Wigan but RL generally). that would be easy to sell to TV companies and attract new sponsorships

Tell that to Bradford Northern at Burnden Park... although Monie still had a go at Offiah! Haha

It’s a shame as they are a decent team, except from wardle. He is overrated
i think Wigan were that well drilled especially in defence i think Cas struggled to get in the game at all and yes they have a great team with some brilliant individuals

As is Gale & McShane who was offside all night, & they are both dirty sh**s

I hate Castleford with a passion! In fact I think they’ve overtook Leeds in my hate department ????
Mc Shane is a quality player though

Think someone else had already mentioned it, but it was a very Australian performance by Wigan. Defence wins trophies, and our defence was outstanding.

Get the attack working a little better, and Warrington won't be able to live with us next weekend.
Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured. Rugby League players spend 80 minutes pretending they're not.
