Liam Farrell’s late snatched Wigan an exciting victory for 26-20 Betfred Super League after having an almighty fear from Castleford Tigers to the Mend-A-Hose jungle.
The Warriors rebounded by last week’s upheaval in Wakefield to rekindle the SHIELD challenge from their League Leaders – they drag Hull KR from the table table – but left it late after the local team produced their best exhibition of the season.
The second row Farrell stormed the decisive test with three minutes to play after the team penalty and teammate Adam Keighran, a few moments earlier, he transported the level of visitors to 20-20.
Wigan led 12-4 at the break after Jai Field and Keighran’s tests had canceled Will Tate’s first match for Tigers, which retaliated at the start of the second period thanks to Deajarn Asi and Sam Wood scores.
The converted trial of Zach Eckersley was ahead of Wigan 18-16 to come and after the Tigers took over the second test of Tate, the Warriors should not be refused.
How the game went
Castleford was rewarded for a pressure period with the game opening test, with Asi’s beautiful pass on the top by sending Tate in the area.
Wigan’s response was immediate while Wing Eckersley has exploited a gap at the bottom inside of his own half and his hot break was well supported by Field, which took the interior allowance to go near the posts, before Keighran converted to Edge Wigan 6-4.
Ecorsley got closer to the increase in Wigan’s advance, but its threat was smothered a few centimeters before visitors carried the tigers a major blow just before the interval when Keighran freed itself from its platform to extend the advantage of the Warriors to 12-4.
The tigers stormed two minutes after restarting, ASI died next to the posts for a brilliant converted score to reduce the deficit to 12-10.
The superb tackle of Tate on Ri’Chards Nsemba tested raised the house fans, then central Wood’s diving effort in the corner after the excellent aspius of Asi has lifted the roof.
Castleford Tigers is 10th in the table but gave Wigan an all-powerful fear on Saturday evening
Atkin added the extras to place Castleford 16-12 in front and they have near the increase in this when George Hill approached Asi’s high kick, only for the video referee to start for a hand.
Castleford desperately defended himself in the last steps in order to protect their advance, but Eckersley cut inside to dive and level the scores, with the conversion of Keighran, Wigan 18-16 in advance.
Back came the tigers, with Asi producing another assist and after Tate burned by the local flag, his contact was confirmed by the video referee.
But Wigan traveled Keighran’s penalty after Jack Farrimond was taken high and with the swirling clock and the score locked at 20-20, Field crossed a gap and sent Farrell by loading under the messages for the decisive score of the game.
