Well done Salford. A much deserved win. It's not your concern Smith underestimated you and put half a side out.

But the hysteria that followed from the City Reds and their fans showed what a big fish the mighty Wire are thesedays.

yes maybe but the BBC named 7 wigan players who were missing it only said two were injured so in all it was a weakened Wigan side regardless.

Tomkins - injured v Widnes as explained.
Richards has been out for two months.
Tommy L has a broken leg.
Prescott has ankle and thumb injuries.
Lima suspected fractured eye socket.
Fielden torn pec.
Hansen broken jaw.
Tuson hasn't played for three weeks
Dudson, ligament damage, probably won't play again this season.

They should have asked me.

I've probably missed a couple more.
We also lost Goulding after 10 mins and then Mickey Mac got sent off, but cr@p happens. Bradford smelled blood, and deserved their win, just as Salford did v Wire.
