Castleford's Liam Watts has played worse for wear after winning a Challenge Cup final but doesn’t expect Wigan to be hungover.
A week on from lifting the trophy, Warriors head to Wheldon Road on Saturday to face Tigers. Castleford coach Lee Radford joked how his Hull side ‘turned up drunk’ for their next Super League game after Cup glories in 2016 and 2017. Prop Watts played for Hull back then and recalled: “The first year was like that as it was massive.
“It was the first time Hull had ever won at Wembley. We did enjoy it. We drunk Saturday after the game, Sunday on the bus on the way home and then Monday we had the homecoming when we all stayed out again. We were at St Helens on the Friday and Radders tapped a few blokes to say they weren’t playing.
