They are weird over that side of the Pennines.

You have got to remember the saying, 'I'm a Yorkie born and bred, strong int arm and thick int head'.

The football thing does breed a weird relationship Tbf.

I know many people who support Cas and Wakefield who HATE Leeds when it comes to RL (and b*tch and criticise the city when it comes game time) yet when it comes to football they are Leeds United supporters.

Myself included. Born in Leeds but live closer to Cas.

As for the daft celebration at the end, was more to wind you lot up I'd guess and judging by the comments on here, it worked a treat. Additionally to see pics of Wane looking devastated on TV again, is pretty funny for any none Wigan fan.

As for accepting mediocrity maybe? But its a hell of an improvement (not tonight) from where we have come from. Even when you lot win you're sore losers and probably justifiably the most hated team in RL, with absolute soulless, plastic, robotic fans for good measure.

Cheers, man.

Perhaps you and the rest of the Cas hardmen can really show what you think by taking it out on the next Wigan junior team to visit your town, as encouraged by your chairman on the tannoy. Again

It was baffling.

You've just been absolutely thrashed, yet you decide to cheer because your most hated rivals have won the LLS?

Wakefield won the lls????

When was jack Fulton on the tannoy at Cas? Guy can barely talk let alone do tannoy announcements

Sad- that Lancastrians don't have the same local pride?
Is it as sad as 30,000 booing for brough to miss a kick at magic weekend- as they'd rather a French side win????
Both hudds and Leeds played some excellent rugby league- both those sides will be better prepared for a tough semi rather than the "friendly" you seem to claim cas gave you. Going to Wigan holds no fear as far as I'm concerned- shame the rfl insist on having important semi-final games on a Thursday night when many can't attend. Imagine the FA doing that......

As a Leeds fan I always shout for Yorkshire sides in any cross pennine match despite the fact that I have no special hatred of Wire or Saints. Surely Wigan fans don't cheer for us whenever we play Saints do they?

Good god no... Speaking for myself, i just watch as a fan with allegiances neither way..

I'd say 90% do.

There is a famous saying around Wigan:

"I support two teams. Wigan RL and any team that Saints are playing".

Cheer for the bin dippers? Never have never will.

The fact that our coach was devastated by finishing 2nd is the reason he's had the success he has both as a player and coach. Laugh if you want, but that's why you're crap.

Having the opposition delight in your losses is part and parcel of being a supporter of a top club. But to be fair to Cas I doubt that many of those top clubs could have as consistently "over performed" given their resources, as the Cas club have. I think Powell has achieved incredible results given the resources and issues that he has had to deal with.

That was funny as well ... the helicopter flying the LLS to the perceived winners.
It was back and forth like a fiddler's elbow.
Until, at the death it made a beeline for Wigan ... and then?
Pished myself at that too.
Classic.

Really that funny?

id 100 percent sooner Leeds win everything rather than you lot, based purely on the fact that Wigan are a bunch of salary cap cheating, thuggish knuckle dragging pigs and if it meant you lot win nothing ever again I'd be happy for Leeds to win it all. HTH

Hahaha! Could this post be any more bitter?



"Cas till I die" except for when I'm supporting Leeds

To non-Wiganers definitely!
Sorry, but Wigan are hated in large measure ... perhaps it goes back to when they dominated the game.
It certainly is not helped by having SW as coach.
But Wigan are an excellent side even so ... I think it's the perceived ethos of SW that grates with a lot of other fans.

How did breaking NL1 & SL salary cap work out for you lot?
As for the rest, just console yourself that at least you lot can go back to digger land for your holidays whilst we have to stay here worrying about next weeks semi finals and possibly final.
I remember what happened to our academy/junior lads at your place and how you guys generally conduct yourselves so to be honest if Leeds win it instead of Saints I'll be more than happy because anyone but Saints but one things for sure.
I won't have to worry about the six fingered unwashed of digger land winning it.

Feel the love..... Just ignore the haters...

It's their issue that their sad lives leave them with nothing but bitterness and envy.

You best stick to your 'massive' derby with Wakey then because you can't class a game against Leeds as any sort of rivalry anymore.

Incredible how small time your fans made you look last night. These are your glory days....a 5th place finish and cheering on your supposed biggest rivals

The highlighted bit is the most laughable part of your post (although the rest is sadly amusing as well)

As I recall, Wigan were never found guilty of breaking the cap - Only of breaking "The spirit of the cap", which was never previously listed as an offence by the RFL, simply for doing something that was common practise in other sports.

As for Cas - well you were found guilty of ACTUALLY breaking the cap in not one but TWO different leagues.

Well done, Mr Bitter.

Enjoy your off-season.

The saddest thing was actually Cas fans chanting "Wigan's a poophole, I want to go home"....

...to Castleford - really?

That doesn't make any sense.
