As a netural I can tell you that you are wrong on that last statement.

Wigan looked very sharp in the second half against Salford but Salford looked dispirited so not much of an indicator, unless it is an indicator of a bad year for Salford.

If multiple trophy winning coaches in Brian McDermott and Tony Smith can end up leading teams that ended up in the Middle 8's then Powell could (or at least lower Top 8's ) . Confidence and momentum is a massive thing in sport and even more so to the way Cas like to play.

I do think the bubble has burst yes. They punched well above their weight last year. As for Wigan, it does sound daft doesn’t it but I just think they will be in the chase for the grand final. What do I know though, I thought wwk field would be nilled!
