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

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.

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

Absolutely bemusing and hilarious was that.

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.

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

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.

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.

This!

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

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!

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.
