| It was a good performance considering it was the opening game of the season. The attack was fluid in the second half and we really looked threatening. Salford were pretty poor though and offered little threat, while making our job so much easier with errors.
Sam Tomkins looked really threatening, particularly at halfback. Powell was less effective but it's possibly too early to make judgements just yet. The switch to hooker seemed to make our game worse and he struggled a little, but when starting the second half from hooker he was much better. Are we back in the position where both our hooker play better when they start games and are less effective when going there part way through a half?
The left edge looked back to it's brilliant best. Williams, Farrell, Gildart and Marshall linked very well, especially with Escare using his pace to put the defence on the back foot. Marshall had one or two shaky moments but his attacking play was sublime and I don't see why he should lose his place.
Davies on the other wing seemed to forget how to keep hold of the ball on a couple of occasions but took his try well and his carries were outstanding and seemed to put Salford on the back foot every time. Sarge was hit and miss but he's part of a new combination on the right edge so maybe it will take some time. His decision making seemed very suspect although he got the pass right to set up Davies' try.
Flower was excellent in the first half and hopefully him not returning was just a precaution as he definitely made a positive impact. Clubb is carrying on from where he left off last year and Sutton played well too and was aggressive in defence. FPN, Tautai and Isa were less effective but perhaps it was also to do with the change at hooker. I think Isa will lose his place next week.
I've been sceptical about Joel at second row but his handling was really dangerous on the right edge and created a few opportunities and half chances. His carries are a bit plodding and he doesn't look like much of a running threat anymore but his handling caused problems. Salford didn't test his mobility in defence much but he seems a better fit there than Isa and did a better job at getting to the ball to our outside backs than Bateman does (constantly cutting inside gets a bit predictable).
There are definitely more positives than negatives there.

I wouldn't say that was one of the best moments, but Early Doors was brilliant.

Correct on both Points!
Too many Great moments but " Was he in a state of Arousal?" - "No - He was in a Ford Cortina" Was a particular favourite

| Wigan's impressive performance at Salford is made the more impressive by Salford's unlucky narrow defeat tonight at Wakefield. The Reds lost despite scoring three tries to two.

| Singing Warrior, I can only assume that was a sarcastic comment. Both teams tonight’s were terrible. No intensity errors everywhere. Exactlty along with last night what you don’t want to see on T.V.
Speaking of which....Last Orders....standard Craig Cash nonsense. Takes him at least 29 minutes to line up a very predictable joke.
