Yeah we didn't take many to that Hudds game. We had around 9 players injured, then just a few days before the game Mr Chase & Mr Westerman were suspended due to excessive boozing. Thus it really was a hiding to nothing.

Generally speaking, we do travel pretty well. But on a Wednesday night, mickey down rain, 11 out, 3 games in a week against the champs when its on tele? Come on, you'd have to be a little mad to go

Plus the long trip over there and the £20+ entry fee

I was at that game and there was definitely more than 50.

And wow, I thought some Wigan fans talked sense on the whole but some of them still believe they have a divine right to win every game. Quite amusing/disappointing in a sense.

Not by many!!

I certainly dont believe we have a devine right and I feared the worst going into last nights game as we have sometimes been out enthused at times and that certainley happened again last night. We showed against Huddersfield if we come out and run hard and strong and defend hard then we will dominate teams, but as last night showed we come out a little below that and teams can upset us and dominate us!

Now more than ever you have to win the ruck before you can play the open expansive rugby sometimes we try to just do the latter!

You lot at Wigan were moaning about the Leeds turn out last week. Ever thought this? That the Sam tomkins issue, seeming lack of enthusiasm for going to your ground - especially when its on the TV is evidence of a simple fact? People dont really like Wigan?

I live in warrington, so travelling wasnt an issue but despite the fact that as a kid I idolised the starts of the 1990's Wigan - whilst still being a Cas fan. But in 2006 you knowingly broke the rules to cheat you way out of relegation. You have also turned to using the darkest methods to win. Why? You have some awesome players. Why do things that make people hate you. I dont like Leeds, but ill tell you what, they always endeavour to do things that benefit them, yet dont damage the game.

Wigan couldnt give a stuff about the game, they seem to think the game will end without them. for that reason, I wont ever visit Wigan again.

We wont miss you anyways mate

Wigan will be better off due to this!

We didn't break any rules.........FACT, we reduced players contracts so that we did not go over the cap and allow us to sign Stuart Fielden. We DID NOT get punished for breaching the salary cap. We got punished for apparantley going against the spirit of the cap!

Wasting your time remember its only ever us who break the rules and cheat in the eyes of these. They were probably all against Hocks return despite serving his ban for using recreational drugs whilst cheering on Ryan Hudson!!

But we know people from Cas dont make sense! They "all hate Leeds Scum" but support Leeds United!!

Re: So Proud : Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:45 am  

Ok guys I think it's time we all grew up a bit, cut out the bitterness and sniping and kept threads on topic. There are plenty of unsavoury factors that both sets of fans can continue to dig up, but is it really worth it?

The salary cap debate, whatever your opinions on it, is in the past. Whilst the general belief amongst Cas fans, given Wigan's subsequent points deduction, is that we were the victims of it, it was a different regime and shouldn't be a cause for ongoing bitterness. It's unfortunate that it seems to rear its ugly head at least twice a year when we meet. All some of us really want is exactly what we've had this year - two great battles between two traditional RL rivals.

Salary cap. Recruited players in 2006 knowing full well you exceeded the cap but also knowing any points deduction would not be till 2007 hence you could buy your way to relegation safety - in turn not giving a monkeys about who your cheating relegated and whos jobs you lost. No way to be that.

wrong sunshine,

we deferred payments. The RFL decided they didnt like it but did us for breaking the "spirit of the cap". All NRL clubs do it, but the RL didnt like it because it was wigan.
