I was one of the crowd of just under 9,000 that saw Wigan lose to Castleford by 25 points to 8, on April 25th 1999, despite Wigan having such luminaries as Andy Farrell, Jason Robinson, Gary Connelly, Denis Betts, Neil Cowie, Mick Cassidy etc.,.in the team, although a few stars were absent, Kris Radlinski and Simon Haughton for example. Nevertheless they were out played by a keen Castleford side.
This was the first season in 15 that Wigan did not win a trophy, Andy Goodway took over from John Monie as coach in June. I sent my son around the ground to take these photos before the match started.

The players named were the most overrated players Wigan have ever had bar Robinson. Cassidy was probably the worst, couldn't think on his feet.

"Interesting" point you make Willie, tell me how many medals and trophies have you achieved at the top level in your career?

You would be hard pressed to back that claim up in any sensible discussion Willie.

Quite a few Ben, starting at South Sydney and finishing at Widnes.
