Thought we could have scored more if we had wanted and we would have done ad we not missed 4 conversions

I thought when we needed to we did step it up and more importantly were able to step it up. frustrating afternoon far to many mistakes. but like we say a win is a win

I'm not one to moan about the referee too much, but that Child had an absolute shocker. Some awful decisions and I bet the penalty count was through the roof! That was the most significant factor for me as to why it was a scrappy game.

Wigan played some good stuff. Amos Roberts was opening Castleford up at will. He had an absolute cracker. The best individual performance I have seen from a Wigan player this season. Castleford were dead and buried not long after the second half. We were cutting them open at will until Tomkins went off.

Very pleasing result and I now look forward to next week.

Not difficult, wouldn't touch our cheerleaders with a 10 foot barge pole.

We're saving that performance for good friday

True but how much better did we seem in the second half with Roberts at full-back?

The message in the second half was quite simple - Give the ball to Amos!

He was on fire.

Tuson wasn't on his debut, he debuted against Leeds 2 seasons ago IIRC. I don't think he touched the ball on that occasion though! Sorry to be pedantic



I'll just echo what everyone else said - a win's a win and it's always tough at Cas so I'm glad we've come away with the points. Oh and that Chase is a right little gobs**te.

I cant really remember us ever going to Cas and winning easily, so a 7 try win, although scrappy, is quite a good result. Even more so when we had to swap the back line around early in the fiirst half, then lost Sam mid way through the second.

I might be wrong but did Amos not play fullback for nearly all the game once Phelps got injured early on

He did. All our tries came when Amos was at fullback.

You might be right - i didnt actually notice Phelps leave the field at all - i wasnt even drinking!

I can remember being concerned in the first half about the way the game was going, the bloke in front of me informed me that he wouldnt like the ref to be fitting his carpet as he didnt know what 10 metres looked like!



The ten minute period following the half time team talk changed everything - the amount of players that Wigan had in support was great to see and with Roberts at full back we looked very dangerous. He seemed to be hovering over the shoulder of every player and it didnt take him long to turn the game around - after that performance i wouldnt be suprised to see him shifted to full-back against Leeds.

A moment that made me and a few others round us laugh was when we had a scrum in our own 10, and Amos shouted to Gleese "Where we going?" to which me and a few others shouted "That way" pointing towards their sticks

Just watching the SL Show back, When Joel scores his 2nd try, we have 6 players against there full back.

Sam Lockers Amos(Ball Carrier) Joel Gleeson Mossop

Its support for the ball carrying man we have craved for the last few years now as for the last few years we havent supported the ball carriers meaning we dont capatalise on any clean/half breaks, and hopefully this can continue through out the season.

The support on that break was fantastic, they will have to take in turns who gets the pass to score

It may have been a scrappy win, but how awesome is it to look at the table and see were top, not after only a couple of games but after seven.
