Will it matter?

Well if he plays at least we know we'll get 10 minutes against 12 men. It appears to be mandatory when you play Salford.

Absolute nightmare of a game for Salford. Terrible with and without the ball, injuries to Dobson and Patterson with Locke probably making his worse, crowd under 5k with plenty of them seemingly Saints fans. If the Doc had any hair left he'd be ripping it out now. I feel for him really.

Patterson is the opitomy of a flat track bully, plays well in a team on top but when it gets tough he wants off. He was looking to get off from 10 mins in tonight.

Radford must now be 3rd Fav to be the first sacked this season

I noticed earlier in the week that Salford were 16/1 for both the dinner plate and the grand final. After that they've gone to 33/1 for the plate and 25/1 for the final.

Several minutes on Twitter from Koukash

"I have had enough"

Oooh dear

Seems like three good arm wrestles developing tonight.

Leeds 6 - 0 Widnes
Wigan 0 - 6 Hudds
Hull 0 - 0 Wire

Every knock on is backwards tonight according to Eddie

Agreed with Phil Clarke for a change, about the supposed Ferres shoulder charge on Bowen I think. Apart from the fact Ferres was comitted then seemed to do everything he could to get out of the kickers way and dove to the floor, catching Bowens legs in the process. Watching in super slow-mo makes it look far worse than it acually is. Wigan a bit lucky to be as close as they are imo.

Giants looking good tonight so far compared to their last game, Murphy at the back has been very impressive and Brough has pulled the strings in attack. Wigan have got it in them to pull this around but they're going to have to play well, or Giants drop off.

Yes still game on for all sides at half time.

Huddersfield gifted all the momentum they bult up at the start of 2nf half back to Wigan there. Robinson with a knock on on Wigans line and then another mistake minutes later, then an offside on Huds own line. Need to cut all those out becuase on the whole they've been the better side so far.

Wigan have looked far more disciplined so far this week.

Hull have been grinding away and finally get a reward with a Lineham try. Sneyd touch line conversion.

6-7, 15ish to play.

Full time 6-7
