Interesting footnote - ‘new all-time SL tackle record’ by Morgan Smithies

 

Perhaps equally of import is that Powell is out with fractured wrist.  Something of a turnaround to now consdering that Powells loss will now be considered quite a blow for Wigan.

Tommy may have to go hooker. Williams 7 French 6?  Or French 7? Or if fit (he is a bit of a forgotten man) Sammut?  It means a tricky choice whatever.

Wigans lowest of the season.  One would be surprised if Salfords next match would be their lowest... we shall have to see.  Will Cas travel?

These are big games and RL are producing them and then drawing the curtains behind them. 

The best way I can put it is to say that there is a lack of coherence in the way RL is producing the game.   The product is good, but the horse is not bringing itself to drink the water.

   Castleford are providing free transport for 700 supporters.

   Game between 2 British head coaches should be very interesting.

     No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.

Part funded by the players- a fabulous gesture

Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in.

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try

Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen

The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

Indeed.  I'd have expected a big travelling contingent.  Likewise frankly I would expect quite a few to St.Helens.

 

PS.  In other news I did not think the SKY tv coverage was brilliant with cuts changing at important moments.

Salford will be really pleased. They proved they can compete away from home against the champions. To put Wigan in a position where they had to defend the game out should give them confidence that they can go to Wigan or St Helens in week 3 and win.

Meanwhile, for Wigan, they have shown that they still have the defensive capabilities that they had in 2018 to win the league.  If you defend in the way that Wigan can, you will always stand a good chance.

Next week's Saints vs Wigan derby I can see being very low scoring indeed.

Aside from talk about how Hastings will go at Wigan, I thought our other 2020 signing Jake Bibby had a big game last night too.

You should know by now Wigan are never onside! You have clearly tampered with this picture!

Pleased that the outcomes of top games involving Salford are no longer certain. Well done on pushing Wigan so hard. Yes, they lost (phew!) and its a shame they seem to be losing players, but I trust the team now has the confidence and self belief to sustain its presence in SL.

Watson seems to be able to lift players who have either declined or underperformed elselwhere, so although some players are leaving, who knows what he'll do with what he has next season? Lee Mossop's testimony (see other thread) suggests Salford will do just fine. Maybe not as well as 2019, but they don't look like a relegation-doomed basket-case to me.

It also suggests that other clubs should be bloody careful about who they sell to Salford, because it could come back to bite them on the bum big time.

Well done Hicks. Absolutely pathetic stuff from Gildart.

i'm sorry but what the hell is wrong with a pat on the head so what if it winds the other player up this is just another example of the over cleansing of the game.

He was wearing a Wigan shirt. Self-explanatory really, so let's bring back the death penalty.

Both the above show how misunderstanding is a communicable problem.
