I think it is rooted in the battle for relegation a few years ago.

Wigan looked to be going down and signed Michael Dobson and Stuart Fieldon. They were subsequently punished for a salary-cap related reason (let's not get into the technicalities of it), and many Cas fans therefore feel Wigan cheated to avoid relegation at Cas' expense.

For some, it may go back to Wigan tempting our one-time star player Danny Orr away from Cas.



PS - our season isn't over. We are not mathematically in the top 8 yet (particularly if Salford's appeal against their points deduction is successful).

There were always fireworks when Sampson and Skerrrett were on the field together, but times have changed and there is no room for the sort of stuff they used to do in today's game.

As I said

Poor choice of venue no hope of getting there on Friday night unless I swerve work

Having a semi final played on a Friday night is ludicrous but I suppose Dave Wood accepted the 52 weeks free KFC mega bucket from the BBC hence the reason it's on a Friday.

I don't hate wigin, I hate cas, the depth of which is eclipsed only by my hatred of wane.



heck thats a lot of hate in one sentence, maybe hate is too strong a word......yeah.....I only dislike Cas..





I dunno what yawl crying about Donny for, Wakey have to go to bladdy Leigh, with their opponents just having to roll out of bed to be in the ground.

tbf, the wigin hull game should be at craven park

We're not crying about Donny at all. I'm looking forward to it. It's the fact that it's being played on the Friday night when common sense says one game should be played on the Saturday with the other on Sunday.

It's the worst of all worlds; playing away on a Friday means taking a day off work not only for long-distance fans like me, but for Wigan dwellers too.



Still, I'll be there!

Anyway, very disappointing crowd for the Cas game, I don't think I'd ever seen the DW emptier. Were that many people at home watching Gareth Bale on TV?

As we're all 4 games suspect they were watching Wigan not Wales
