| Quote: Salford red all over "Must admit Castleford are a pleasure to watch and I see them as being strong contenders very strong, however History tells us Wigan will come good when it matters, for years now they only wheel out the likes of SO'L when it actually matters, and if last night was one of those nights they would have wheeled them out. You only have to see the 62-0 result Wakefield put on them last year and who won the grand final.
Wigan and Cas are the two best teams I've seen this year and unfortunately for us Wigan were at full strength when they played us in the opening fixture minus Bateman who was rested to keep him and Mossop apart.
As to last night I'm glad Cas won and the longer they carry on winning the longer they stay with one loss against their name. ![]()
Great to see Salford going so well too. I think our loss vs Salford helped us out. Shows we can be beat at anytime so in a way I think it was a good thing.

23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Salford are stopping under the radar well, and quietly going about their business. I like what they are doing there at the moment. They seem to be now following how we have tried to do things. No 'superstars', and an honest hard working coach being left to get on with his job and everyone work for each other. On the subject of Wigan, lets not be under any illusions here, they will be challenging for OT come October. Along with us, I hope! Its a long season and titles aren't won in April. I think we have a good enough squad to ride injuries and get through to the business end, and I know Wigan do. Squads win trophies, not your first 1-17. It's gonna be an interesting season. I'm looking forward to seeing how Easter shakes things up too.

I'm not sure putting 50 past hull on their own turf can be considered going about their business 'quietly' 
But I agree that it's refreshing to see some new faces at the top of the table for a change. I know it's a long way off but a Salford v Cas GF would be great for the game. |

Just for one of those sides to make OT would be a step forward for the game.The play offs are different gravy to regular season, just ask Huddersfield who looked awesome a fair few times in recent seasons but couldn't find that extra gear the usual suspects find come the business end.

Indeed, but after Salfords win at Hull I don't think losing the lead at Salford for the first time in the match in the 77th (?) minute at a ground we've often struggled at is quite so bad! Hope both teams can keep it up.
I think this weekend will say a lot about Cas. Wakefield will be up for it on Friday, then on the Monday it's St Helens away. I believe Saints are the only team we have not won at in 20 years of Super League (ignoring teams who only lasted a season or have just been promoted e.g. Leigh). |
