There seems to be a real dislike between Wigan and Cas at the moment with it showing more from the Wigan side.


In recent history both clubs have a diminished respect for each other. I know Wigan will not use the changing rooms at Wheldon Road and prefer to use a local hotel before they get to the ground. They also don't like the idea of having after match drinks and buffet at our ground with the Tigers team and staff and leave straight after the game, still in their playing kit - that' something that no other club have a problem with other than Wigan. We have in the recent 3 seasons been talked as in a very condescending manner - particularly by Wane who doesn't seem to want to accept us as rivals and a team that the mighty Wigan "should" be beating every time. We don't want or expect any praise from the Wigan club or it's fans - but you seriously need to lose the smug and priggish attitude.

Surely Wigan fans must question Wane and Tomkins latest remarks to the press regarding the Tigers. It's giving their opposition a ton of ammo.


I would certainly question what they said. Taken in context they are right as Cas have yet to prove themselves in the play offs. They may do this year and good luck to Cas as they deserve it. Both though need to be smarter as they should know the press will 'sensationalise' any quotes with provocative headlines and the general public will buy it hook, line and sinker every time. They should stick to talking about Wigan and simply say things like we just need to concentrate on our own performance which on Sunday they clearly didn't.

I find that all most disappointing if true though it wouldn't surprise me. All superstition on my part but I would guess Wane still holds a grudge from the way the youth team were treated a few years back when he was coach.

Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.

That is just embarrassing if true and a total lack of respect from Wigan

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

Wigan chairman waltzed into the Cas changing room yesterday and presented Jake Trueman with the match ball. Thought I would add some different light to the wigan bashing. Nice touch.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

Times have changed, if that was Uncle Maurice there would be hidden inside some contract papers and a blank cheque.

Maybe it goes right back to 2006-7 when Cas got relegated and for some reason blamed us. The following year our academy (coached by Wane) played theirs at Wheldon Rd and our 16/17 year olds received heavy abuse from Cas fans.


I remember that game & the parents of the Cas players were giving out a lot of abuse; mainly due to wane & his coaching staff shouting "snap the pole" just as a third tackler came in, on a stationary kid, with cannonball tackle after cannonball tackle (Parents tend to get a bit upset when they see their kids careers almost ruined before they've started).

There are quite a few a few legitimate reasons to dislike Wigan, so why make one up?

I'd guess he's probably telling the truth. He's always pretty knowledgable about the juniors at Wakefield let alone Cas so I imagine he watches a hell of a lot of junior rugby so I believe him if he says he was at the game. It also seems like something Wane would probably do considering the stuff he was coming out with in that documentary when they played the Roosters and this was just a junior game in front of barely anyone before he was properly in the spotlight as head coach.
