DW Stadium

Castleford missed out because they are beaten by Wigan to secure their location 26-8 at the DW Stadium.
The Warriors secured second place at the table but for Cas, their season could now be over.
They began with Hull ahead of the final fittings and, as a consequence of this loss, will be going on holiday on Monday when the Black and Whites beat St Helens on Friday.
Castleford’s ancient strategies appeared to be to take Jamie Ellis kicked off a penalty, just for George Williams to respond with a try for Wigan and anything they might.
Ellis had the chance to kick against off the Tigers in front however he missed two penalty attempts.
Two tries in the space of 3 minutes in Zak Hardaker and Joe Greenwood afterward sealed the game for the Warriors and Oliver Gildart added another before Jesse Sene-Lefao saw for disgracefully moving in with all the knees Oliver Partington red.
Morgan Smithies finished the scoring for the Warriors on.
The Tigers dominated the opening 15 minutes and took the lead from the ninth with Ellis after Wigan didn’t clean the ruck slotting over a penalty.
Whereas Peter Mata’utia and Paul McShane equally created useful runs on the center, jake Trueman was held inches short for Castleford.
Defence turned with Williams stepping beyond Mike McMeeken’s attempted tackle.
A mistake from Dan Sarginson gave Castleford possession 20 metres from Wigan’s lineup and Ellis went agonisingly close to putting his side in front after Trueman’s kick hit the post and bounced back to him, but Hardaker was to clear his lines.
Wigan found it difficult to complete their sets of coughing possession, with Romain Navarrete guilty.
Greenwood then made a attack to allow Ellis the opportunity to level the scores, but he sent his attempt wide.
He had the opportunity to redeem himself to the half-time hooter, because Wigan led however the post struck.
Two attempts in 3 second-half minutes placed Wigan. Hardaker took advantage of a error from Greg Minikin to touch down from his kick. He also added the extras for a 10-2 lead.
Later Sarginson made a run down the right to put Wigan in a good attacking position, the ball was shipped across to the left and then Greenwood was to touch down in the corner.
Castleford had chances to get back into this match but they can find no way through Wigan defence.
Their job was made harder for going in with his knees on Partington when Sene-Lefao was shipped off.
Before Cheyse Blair felt on the hooter for Castleford, while Smithies dropped over hardaker extended Wigan’s lead to 18 points with a punishment for messing around in the play-the-ball.
