Truly woeful display, the players should be ashamed of that first half. No respect for possession whatsover and the 2nd half wasn't much better.

In fact the only amusement of the afternoon was Cas fans singing "That's why we're champions"

I remember reading this forum as the season started and folk were saying 'I have no doubt that we will cope with cas when it counts'

Turns out Wigan can't even get to where it counts in 2017, see ya next year lads

Ahh come along, we banter about the Wigan walk but you'll be back I'm sure



I mean this in the most respectable way to your club, but you've got at least 5 of your starting 17 who just aren't Wigan standard players.

That being said, you unlocked our defence half a dozen times today, for the last pass to go astray. Decision making was poor at times.

For me that's hard to blame the coach for.

What I would say is tha wane makes a massive deal over SOL being your leader, and his comments about how he'd be massively missed, whilst possibly true, can't REALLY have a positive impact on the players he sends out there.

For me you lacked a leader today and the coach IS to blame for that.

Our leader was missing today and there were players stepping up..... Tomkins for me isn't right for that, Bateman was the only one really standing up.

It's very unusual to see a Wigan side so rudderless

Gutted?

Just practicing for 7th October..

I'm just glad they care about that more then they do about that rubbish they served up against us, losing against a team without a first choice half and a hooker at 6.

To be fair I think our 19's would have given them a game today, absolutely useless Wigan team that will be remembered for beating a Cronulla team at 40 percent.

Absolutely bemusing and hilarious was that.

LOL. Difference is, that trophy is in Wigan's cabinet. You've won nowt yet and we aren't wuite out of the picture just yet, you'll keep for a few weeks...

Horrible and cowardly performance - they should all be disgusted with themselves.

We don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Just a shame that Saints will probably get in ahead of a team who does deserve it - Wakefield.

Not quite as hilarious as you lot 20-0 down at half time at home against a Cas side with nowt to play for in a must win game for you. Now that's bemusing and hilarious.

No but still pretty funny

"That's why we're league leaders" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, though.

Cas is in Wakefield, and Normanton is nearer to Cas than Wakey so what's yer point.

Well. You can't claim to be champions yet, it was cringeworthy - even Huddersfield and the Wolfs didn't sing that. But if it's not our year, I hope you do win it and you can sing it properly then.

Absolute poop, I wouldn't have minded so much if Cas had played like they have done all year but they didn't break into a sweat.
God help us if somehow we do scrape 4th and have to go to Cas in the semi, that has massacre written all over it.

It woudl be like watching a car crash.

Good luck to Cas. if the past few years have taught us anything though its that its not the season's best team who end up champions, its the team that are the best over the next few weeks. They will take some stopping though. Fair play to them, they are good to watch and play a brand of rugby I wsh we could aim for.

It would be just like us to scrape 4th next week and go and beat Cas in the semi. I effing hate this team at times

I agree.
The champions are the Grand Final winners.
At the moment, that could be one of six teams.

Also hilarious your fans doing the Wigan walk with 10minutes left in last game of season at home. Not staying to applause the team after a tough year.

Erm.... No it isnt the Wakey ground is 3 mile from Wakey. Cas ground is 6mile. My point was he was brought up in a Wakey orientated family and seemed to be helping us in the first half.

This!

We've been rudderless all season without him. Check out the other thread of results without him this season. I wish that was the sum total of the story but it even extends to when he's on and off the pitch in the games he has played. The number of matches when we've scored all or almost all our points when he's on and conceded all or almost all points when he's off is truly eye opening!

I've never seen a one man Wigan team to this extent in 30 years of watching them. Andy Farrell carried the team at times but even that wasn't as pronounced as what's happening with SOL. The more I watch, the less I feel that there's even an answer in this squad as it stands.

God help us next season if this isn't addressed!

Here here, that is bang on

Erm he wasn't brought up in a Wakey orientated family though, his dad and brother are Cas fans, and I've no doubt he wasn't helping either side in any half, just you trying to portray it that way to cause a bit of mischief.
Btw the Wakey ground is less than a mile from Wakey, Cas ground is 6 mile from where exactly?, like I said before what's yer point.

I was having a bit of fun with the referee comment. You clearly didn't like it so it worked. They were 100% Wakey fans I was brought up with his brother through Freeston.
The Wakey ground is closer to Normy than the Cas ground is. That's my point. You said otherwise.
