Wigan Reserves run riot over Castleford
Wigan reserves ran out an impressive score to beat Castleford 84 - 10.
Sam Tomkins was again the star as he ran in 5 tries. There was some cracking interplay during the first half keeping the ball alive going through several pairs of hands before Howarth scored. And the offload in the second half from Mossop to give Tomkins his fourth try was sublime.
Two Cas players were sin binned, Steve Howard, second row forward after one of several high tackles on Lee Mossop. Sean Johnson for dissent.

Sam Tomkins 5
Stuart Howarth 3

Neil Holland

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Wigan Reserves run riot over Castleford
Sam Tomkins as usual was involved in nearly every move his 5 tries were top drawer. Only wish the first team could play rugby like the reserves do offloading and backing up tackling their guts out for the Wigan shirt.

Re: Reserves destroy Cas
Josie has 25 Phillipinnos keeping score for her
The Reserves are in a rich vein of form at the moment and for those that say players are too small. Nicky Stanton was driving Korkidas backwards in the tackle.
