The referee is a joke he never gives Cas anything........who is it by the way?

Chris Campbell. CAMPBELL'S SON

I karn't speyk

Gale is playing of course.

Mind games regarding player injuries are pathetic and archaic. I wish we would follow the NRL/NFL rules where an injury list is circulated.

Probably wont be far off, we seem to copy everything the NRL does so expect to see it soon, along with 2 ref's (which i think is stupid) and golden point - which i dont think would be too bad, bring a bit more excitement to tight games

Great first half, sh*te second but we're in the semis that's all that matters. That Manfredi "try" made it even sweeter. Cas can get f*cked! Such an arrogant club considering how small they are.

lol...

arrogant

jebus, that wane has copyrighted arrogance ffsake.

even after a winning the game, in fact totally dominating it, that knob just cannot find a way to display one atom of grace or humility.

all that can say in his post match interview is that cas came with a game plan to control the play of the ball, and the ref let em get away with it..???

what a pr1ck

up the Hull is all I can say

oh and congrats to Wigin for playing a damn fine game, yer coach need a right good slap though

hull v wire final then.be a good game.

I don't get too excited about coaches say after a game. It's what happens in t pitch that counts, and that was a convincing win. Good defence, and not too many pens conceded either. Sam and Josh excellent, and TT maintained his recent good showings.

What is it with this Cas dislike of Wigan. It seems to border on hatred which is strange because it's hardly like they've been a rival for trophies over the years. To us Cas are just a small club that punches above it's weight by finishing mid table each year and having the odd decent run in the cup yet the way they blabber on about us you think we'd been having full on pitch battles for honors with them each year.

Cas should be thankful for the 8 months we've given them to plan for 2017 now that this season is over.

Scathing.



It's definitely small club mentality, anyway back on topic I thought we were near perfect first half and took the foot off the gas in the second. The game was never really in danger of going away fom us after half time. Looked like the 'watering the pitch' at half time tactic worked then!

Just been confirmed the semi is at the keepmoat in Donny on the Friday night. I hope plenty of you turn up and it's a great game

Don't think anything has been confirmed yet - would expect our game to be played on the Saturday at Doncaster.

As for the game today, you couldn't fault the first half - the best we've played this year I think. Sam Tomkins is all class.

Hopefully we will be in a position in the semi to have some bigger bodies back to take on Hull's pack. Burke and Bretherton did a job today but we will need a bigger impact off the bench to match them up front. We know Bateman and Nuauasala will be available then and maybe Farrell and Crosby - hopefully we won't pick up too many other injuries in the games leading up.

That would be fun to watch if you ever pull some pants on and get from behind your keyboard...

I think it is rooted in the battle for relegation a few years ago.
Wigan looked to be going down and signed Michael Dobson and Stuart Fieldon. They were subsequently punished for a salary-cap related reason (let's not get into the technicalities of it), and many Cas fans therefore feel Wigan cheated to avoid relegation at Cas' expense.
For some, it may go back to Wigan tempting our one-time star player Danny Orr away from Cas.

PS - our season isn't over. We are not mathematically in the top 8 yet (particularly if Salford's appeal against their points deduction is successful).

There were always fireworks when Sampson and Skerrrett were on the field together, but times have changed and there is no room for the sort of stuff they used to do in today's game.

As I said

Poor choice of venue no hope of getting there on Friday night unless I swerve work

Having a semi final played on a Friday night is ludicrous but I suppose Dave Wood accepted the 52 weeks free KFC mega bucket from the BBC hence the reason it's on a Friday.

I don't hate wigin, I hate cas, the depth of which is eclipsed only by my hatred of wane.

heck thats a lot of hate in one sentence, maybe hate is too strong a word......yeah.....I only dislike Cas..



I dunno what yawl crying about Donny for, Wakey have to go to bladdy Leigh, with their opponents just having to roll out of bed to be in the ground.
tbf, the wigin hull game should be at craven park

We're not crying about Donny at all. I'm looking forward to it. It's the fact that it's being played on the Friday night when common sense says one game should be played on the Saturday with the other on Sunday.

It's the worst of all worlds; playing away on a Friday means taking a day off work not only for long-distance fans like me, but for Wigan dwellers too.

Still, I'll be there!

Anyway, very disappointing crowd for the Cas game, I don't think I'd ever seen the DW emptier. Were that many people at home watching Gareth Bale on TV?
