[Davo5]

Another narrow,unconvincing win for Wigan,probably after getting bashed up front again.

[Ramon Rojo]

Probably a comfortable Wigan victory, depends whether their new age forwards stick hold of the ball & stop giving daft penalties away

[johnh1]

Biggest question is who will play full back for Salford. Latest opinion amongst Salford fans is Pauli Pauli.

[DavidM]

Wigan by 20

[Red Willow]

The biggest question is will Salford score ?

It just feels like there is no improvement

 

[Pete Grady]

Salford to win,.......we always beat Wigan

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wigan by 18.

[Barley Mow]

Wigan by 14

[meast]

Got a feeling for Salford this week, they've got to start winning soon right?

[johnh1]

Half time. Salford lead 14 - 10.

[johnh1]

Cracking game by the sound of it. Salford 16 - Wigan 10

[JonM]

16-16 with 14 minutes to play.

[johnh1]

James Child coming into his own now. Perfectly good ball strip by Salford and the ball given to Wigan.

[johnh1]

Wigan go to the other end and get a drop goal. Thanks James Child.

[johnh1]

Final score 16 - 17. Gutted.

[JohnM]

Gutted? Why? You came second, whilst Wigan came next to last.

so how do you know that?

Wasn’t a very entertaining game. Both teams were rubbish.

[Exiled Wiganer]

I enjoyed it - am liking this ourleague coverage. Every league game we have played has followed the same script. I was pleased to see Wells score - he has always been a talented player. Salford have some talented players, but they made too many errors today.

Smith’s break for our crucial second try was fantastic, worth checking out on the highlights. Hope French is ok, but if it’s muscular it could be a while. With Gildart coming back, looks like he will slot straight in and Zak will be at 1 for a while...

Don't worry your club will get a consolation call from Ganson on Monday.

But yet, all Salford had to do was score 2 more points than Wigan?

Shouldn't Salford be to blame?

[DimmestStar]

Didn't see the game but obviously Salford came close and pushed Wigan all the way.

I expect Salford are frustrated they are playing well and not getting results. They have shown again that at least for the moment there is not a huge gap between the top and bottom.

50/50 decisions tend to go 60/40 in favour of the big teams and that might have made the difference today.
