Hes also kicked early in the tackle count a few times when I don't think he needed to.

The was a spell midway through the half we looked half arsed for a bit.

Needs a bit of a spark to put us out of sight given the way Smith is kicking the goals.

We kick on the 4th a lot. I think a lot of the time is because we can and are good enough to get good field position without using the 5th tackle, but it keeps the opposition guessing.

While goal kicking was an issue they where some difficult angles

I just thought one time in particular after Ellis had made a lot of yards he kicked the ball away needlessly.

Mind you just how bad were Cas? Surprised they aren't bottom if they have played like that all season.

For Wigan I thought King had a really good game (looks like he's intending to go out on a high) and Nsemba really enjoyed himself though he got a lot of attention form the Cas players but didn't lose his rag and didn't do anything except drive then back when he had the ball.

As to Blake Austin from Cas, what a plonker. Totally lost it when he was sin binned and was more interested in playing dirty once the game was gone for them.

I'd make Miski a marquee player as soon as.

Makes you wonder, what's he going to be like when he's fully grown! I thought it was pleasing, and said a lot, that MP trusted him with a full 80 mins there.
