You are correct. This suggests that Adrian Lam was foolish to have loaned Morgan Escare to Wakefield. Escare is a much better attacking full back than Zachary Hardaker. Adrian Lam was a good player, but as a coach he is flawed.

It just shows how bad homophobia, a dislike of students and recreational drugs can be for a rugby league player

Partington is a bloody grub, he needs a good smack to rein him in, all that head rubbing and other niggle is gonna see him get snotted.

Bad reffing too, Sene-Lefao doesn’t take matters into his own hands if Child stops the niggling earlier at the Partington/McShane mess, but like the Catalans/Wire game he lets things boil over.

Cas are woeful fwiw, couldn’t score in a brothel.

An unworthy comment to be fair. Zac isn't quite at the level that he showed at Cas but he's not far off. It isn't a good thing to allow your past to dominate your future and don't forget, Sts signed Ben Barba who might not have received the guidance and help Zac has had from Wigan.

Sene-Lefao is a cheat and a thug, he was dropping his knees and elbows against Hull last week, and again today, I hope he gets 4-6 matches, depends what grade the charge is.

A very poor game, Castleford looked cluless (admittedly, not quite as clueless as FC have achieved this season.) the Sky commentary didn't help either.

We (Cas) dont have the big game mentality in our team. Ellis is not a starting 7 for a team wanting to finish in the top 5. We have too many average players around the team who when it gets tough just go hiding.

I’ve gotten to the point where I watch it on mute. As soon as one team pulls away slightly, the commentary makes out they’re world class and usually fail to point out the reality that the other team is dire. And the pointless voice that is Cummings just makes it worse.

Lenegan has mentioned in the matchday program tonight that Wigan will lose around 50k in revenue because of Sky switching the game to Thursday.

The sooner Thursday games are scrapped, the better.

amen, listening tonight you could be forgiven for thinking Hardaker used to play for Cas and Trueman had a decent game last week (but he was bang average tonight, whichnthey didn't mention)

The commentary is dreadful. What was it Phil Clarke said when Jesse Sene apologised to Smithies. Something like hes only apologising so he gets less games at the disciplinary. Utterly bizarre thing to say.
