[John Drake]

Discuss Wigan Warriors v Salford Red Devils here.

[Father Ted]

Wigan have a few players back but with Singleton and Partington suspended with Leulai injured then Farrell rested.

Should get the better of Salford but only because Hastings is playing for Wigan.  Certainly not the given home win it used to be.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wigan by10.

[Davo5]

Wigan by a few,hopefully 

[Patx71]

Salford to sneak this one, Wigan had an easy ride last week against a very poor Leigh side. 

[Futtocks]

Jai Field is expected to play. How long for, I don't know. Let's hope he's a bit luckier with injuries this time around.

Named un the halves with Hastings still out of position at fullback & Hardaker on the bench,another Lam stroke of genius

5 to half tarm. 

[Futtocks]

Judging by the commentary, Jai Field's looking very rusty and hesitant.

A little bit spicy at times, but it sounds like a good contest.
