shaun wane complaining that the officials let the opposition lie on and slow the ruck down
Except he didn't. What he said was "they lied on better in the contact" and "they controlled the ruck speed very very well which they always do and the officials allowed them to do that". He was actually paying you a compliment on controlling the contact, the tackle and the ruck better than Wigan did and doing it in such a way the officials were happy with it.
He also said, "they completed their sets better, they ended their sets better, they had a bit more vigour ... they were the better team, we were beaten by the better team no doubt about that, they deserve to be in the semi finals and we don't."
He's right. Cas offered more and defended like Wigan did against Leeds a few weeks ago. Wigan ran out of ideas in attack and offered very little. Cas were superb and deserved it.
Got to say though, from the reaction you'd think Cas won the cup today. How many times do you see the entire squad and coaching staff posing for a picture under the sticks!
