A very good win although Cas were poor was it due to pressure from Wigan's defence?

I do hope this win doesn't delay the replacing of Lam as head coach.

Or you could stop blaming others for RL's failings and look to sort it out yourself.

We have been lucky that for whatever reason the teams we’ve played recently have been massively poor a good team would have annihilated us today
I bet every other club in the League paid Cas to lose so Wigan wouldn't sack Lam :)

Seriously though, the defence won that game and while Cas may have been awful and may have just realised what the effect of a short turnaround is, Wigan deserve credit for the defensive display.

Overall though very poor quality game but thank goodness for the win.

Why?
Never has a good word for RL, often states that League players are just out to hurt each other - that's Rugby Eddie!!!!

On the contrary if you listen to him, he is a massive fan of RL.

The disciplinary is going to be busy for the Wire/Saints game.

Just caught up with today's game after work.
Good defensive effort, good line speed causing Cas mistakes and individual big hits lifted the team.
Attack still clunky, are refs not allowed to ping our opponents for offside/spoiling at the PTB?

I've not heard that from him - I'll take a look.

Meanwhile, back to the topic and tonight's result. I see that all the chasing teams lost, so we're clear in 4th.

We've also won more games than Wire, though they've had the advantage of resting on FOUR occasions when we've played.
Wigan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saints ⭐⭐⭐
