I think it would be an even bigger achievement 

It wouldn’t really . That still seems unbelievable 

[EastLondonMike]

Great effort from Salford. Wigan have been woeful all game, and sadly have shown nothing in attack. 

Really poor quality.

The Salford story this year is a great one, and the very best of luck in the GF.

Hardaker spitting his dummy out. Bless!

[SilentAssassin]

Well done Salford fully deserved.

This has to be one of the worst Wigan teams of the SL era.

[snapski]

Salford are a good team. Outplayed us last week. Same this week. It's a bigger achievement away from home. Wigan need to bring Williams and Hardacre on

[wackojacko]

Great performance from Salford, absolute dross from us. With Hastings in the halves our attack should be a bit better next year but we need more than just Burgess in the pack.

Happy for Salford, some fans and players who have stuck at it through some tough times and are getting their rewards.

Morgan Smithies is absolutely mad. He just got in a spat with Gil Dudson won a penalty and decides to run the ball as hard as he can at Dudson and Mossop. Unreal for his age.

Wigan fans and players embarrassing

It's the apathy of the same teams making the playoffs (and finals). It's not an event to them anymore: it's pretty much expected most years.

This is a HUGE breath of fresh air!

This Wigan performance is disastrous!

It isn’t that good 

[Futtocks]

Forgive me if I wait 'til the final hooter before getting 100% behind Salford, but loyalty is loyalty. After the fat lady sings, though...

They keep saying 18 and you can hardly believe it !

Not one of the best, but not the worst by a long shot.

[DiH68]

This is bloody brilliant. With big media now based in Salford, it being on the doorstep of Old Trafford, and such an incredible story, in the coming week we really should be seeing some media coverage the likes of which we haven’t seen before  

[dkw]

Smithies is pretty much the only Wigan player worthy of any praise from this game, the rest should be ashamed, especially the experienced players. 

[CanadianRugger]

Go Salford!

[Damien]

Thaler has reffed this well too.

[bobbruce]

That’s great line speed from Salford this late in the game. 

[DavidM]

Wonder if Hastings is thinking ‘ what have I done ‘

I really hope all these Salford fans that go to Old Trafford return round the corner for their home games. Could finally be the making of them.

Such a shame they've lost Hastings.

Absolutely. It would also be good if some of the celebs who got behind Salford football also did with the Red Devil’s. 

[marklaspalmas]

Wigan and Salford both really deserve this.

Looking forward to the Grand Final 

[Dave T]

Wigan must be setting a record for number of passes going to ground.

Correct on both points.

I think he's seen Wigan get to second in the table after a disastrous start, so probably no sleepless nights. Wigan have been bad tonight (and last week), but there's more to the club than that.

Probably received a 50% pay rise.

Wigan avert the nilling. French. Nice try
