Thanks to Phil Clarke for use of his Margin Meter

Well, the Wigan side are hitting their KPI's more consistently than Castelford, and if we have a look at this brightly couloured sideways bar-chart, it will illustrate that point. <serious face into camera>

etc etc.

He's a bore isn't he? I don't need a margin meter however, to tell me that Cas will be massive underdogs for this one; it wouldn't be the first time they've shocked a bigger side though - t'games not laiked on paper, or indeed in a Powerpoint presentation.

You always give us a good game, if Chase runs out wide and your centres play well they could get into Goulding and Hughes and cause us some problems. From our point of view of pack is looking pretty big and no doubt we'll try and get on top in the middle and throw it wide on the quick play of the ball. Hopefully a game played in good spirits in repect of Robbie Millward.

am hoping we give em a good game and cause an upset.i think the players will be motivated to do it for millward which will (hopefully) save us from getting walloped

Fully agree on all counts. The respective results against Drabford Dulls suggest you'll give us a whipping however we were a different team last week so I expect something a little bit closer!

Cas by 6 or a real thumping in wigoons favour, its just the Cas way.

Agree with that, my margin meter says that the team with the most point on 79 minutes might just have enough Eddie to get them over the line.

Re: Castleford v Wigan : Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:28 pm  

I think Phil will go with:

kick off - Wigan by 20
20 Mins - Cas by 32
HT - Wigan by 6
45 Mins - Cas by 42
50 Mins - Wigan by 86
60 Mins - Draw
70 Mins - Cas by 60
79 Mins - Wigan by 28
80 Mins - Oh! I don't think its working (Cas win)

While we are talking about the Margin Meter, I have just done some post it note stats myself in my head - my margin meter says:
Wigan first score
Cas second score
Wigan by 12 at half time
Cas to score last
Wigan by 22 full time.

Based on the results I have just gone through from memory - the tricky one being the draw from last year.

Squad unchanged from Catalans, I think Walker will come in this week, as it is going to be physical in the middle, I actually expected Hudson back in the 17 becuase he can tackle - but I don't blame Donlan for not changing much.

Nothing in the announced squads changes my opinion of the game, us in a bum squeaker or them by a wheelie bin full.
