didnt get 2 the game last nite, who played well? what were the forwards like did they make any yards at all, i read on the wigan site that the pack was very poor! it makes me laugh i think it was steve simms who said at the start of the season that we had 1 of the best packs in superleauge is he avin a laugh. bring back nash!!!!

The crowd in the home end was about the same as last week, maybe a couple of hundred more. There must have been a few missing season ticket holders, that's all I could think of.


Anyway, the game. Didn't end up being as bad as I expected, thought we'd have 60 on us by the end. We played alright second half, but, once again, looked lost going forward. I think a lot of credit should go to Wigan, though. They are a good side and we'd struggle to beat them no matter how well we play. It's just one of those things.

Credit to Wigan - a couple of their tries were top drawer - certainly most of the Solly fans where I was sat applauded them!! Going forward they were so much more creative than we were - we didn't seem able to lay a hand on Thomas Leululai at all - he was their MOM for me.

But if I were a Wigan fan (perish the thought!!) I'd be a a bit worried about the defence - when we did get into their half they looked not a lot better than us -

All in all we were beaten by a better attacking side - I'm not too downhearted about it though - this season has to be one of steady improvement and being able to compete with anyone at SL level and I think we're getting there - but slowly.

All fair comments.

We're a strange team! When we get our attack going we can't seem to defend and when our defence is good(like at Wire the other week) we can't seem to get the attack going.

If we ever manage to put both parts of the game together we'll be a half decent side.

As for Salford i think the seasons gone great s far especially after the start and with a couple of good additions next year a place in the top 8 will be within reach.

1st 30 minutes awful and 2nd half much better kept taragetting myler and put some tough tackles on him.

They seemed to use the same set plays as last week,

didnt we learn from that?,bloody cold as well ,well it is June isnt it

I cant believe people are saying Alkers passed it. His play before setting up Swain was world class and I cant think of a better defensive hooker in SL

Saying that I had a nice laugh seeing that flag of Wigans saying LOYAL 18 when I didnt hear one song of them and half of their fans were leaving 10-15 mins before the end. Loyal my booty

The only time you get points for singing is the Eurovision song contest.

You've just hit the nail on the head. Defensively he's still got it. Although he did make a big mistake in the build up to a try in't 2nd half. As an attcking Hooker he's past it well and truely. Poor slow innacurate passing from the ruck. Hardly ever penetrates the defence from dummy half runs. Smith really showed the old man a lesson in how to do it last night.
