Adrian Lam reacts to Wigan Warriors' 30-22 win against Castleford Tigers

The Warriors maintained their perfect run since the restart with a 30-22 victory against Castleford.

It came at a cost, with winger Liam Marshall suffering a knee injury.

But Lam was proud of his players' efforts and said: "We fought hard to get back into the game after going 12-0 down, and managed the game from there.

"Cas were really tough but we were brutal in defence at times.

"With the players we've got out and with the restart, we've had to keep it simple, so it's probably an opportunity to open up and play a bit in the next two weeks."

Marshall will have his knee injury assessed tomorrow, with Lam suspecting ligament damage.

On the other flank, Joe Burgess made a try-scoring return to action for his first match since the restart.

"I was really pleased for Joe, he was called in late with Dom Manfredi pulling out (for compassionate reasons)," said Lam.

"He was a bit rough on the edges but his contribution to the team was outstanding."

Counterpart Daryl Powell complained about a "terrible tackle" by Morgan Smithies which saw him sinbinned for an apparent crusher on James Clare, who was stretchered off.

"I haven't seen it closely and I was surprised he was sinbinned, but I''ll have to have a look at it to be honest," said Lam.
