Well I wasn't there to watch it, but I breathlessly listened on Wigan TV here in my local pub (which had some of the locals a bit confused- erratic breathing and the occasional cheer clearly has different connotations down here in Wiltshire) but I'd say that that was a pretty bloody good result.

I was in line with the kick it was Farrell that was offside, the ref shouts at him to get back, he was in front of O'Loughlin when he kicked ahead.

I believe the Tautai 'knock on' was (and probably flogged to death), but did they show the Manfredi 'no try'? That one looked good to me!'" Just these. Pause it at the Tautai ptb and you can clearly see the Salford hand come through. www.rugby-league.com/superleague ... port/12215 Also have a look at Salfords "ptb" for their third try.

Stokes was bad for both teams, probably one of the worst referring performances I can remember.

I didn't think there was much between the two teams, Wigan made full use of their breaks whereas Salford failed to capitalise on any of them. I thought a draw would have been a fair result, but it wasn't to be. Whilst feeling disappointed walking out of the stadium, it was nice to see us finally competing away from home against one of the 'bigger' clubs.

Salford will be no mugs this year, thats's for sure.
