Vaughn is the mystery 17th man, season long loan from Saints, looks like we'll get a look at our new signing tomorrow, the more mischievous part of me hopes he has a blinder, that should make for some interesting reading on RV 

It’s good to see the lad getting some game time, the stick that Vaughan has received on RV is unbelievable. I sometime wonder what some of those guys have got between their ears.

Good, old fashioned, bitterness

Latest doing the rounds is two of the senior players in the named 17 are refusing to play, so far un-named.
I really hope we can stay focussed and come through this unscathed

Farrimond named in the reserves, assume Field is playing then, seems risky but if he's been given the all clear then fair enough

Field starts, Dupree starts, Byrne 18th man, O'Neil Hill on bench everything else as you'd expect

Bewildering that we've not given at least a couple of youngsters a debut in this game. They must be wondering when they will actually get a chance?

Really sloppy start to the game here.

Anyone watching the game back on iPlayer, I urge you to watch on mute. The commentary was utterly embarrassing.

I did wonder who from Wigan upset the commentator - talk about hyper-critical, didn't think Wigan could do any right. The footage was really bad as well though - showing replays of things whilst the game was going on constantly and showing long,long, long views of the coaches (esp Rowley) during game play as well. Really amateur all round.


Game wise Wigan did what was needed some sloppy play at times and some really good play at others and at least two tries chalked off for poor decisions (although the Walters one did loook more than a touch forward).

Only watched the last half hour, was expecting a bigger scoreline but fair play to Salford they battled well and asked a few questions. Not sure how he did before this but Vaughan looked good considering it was his first game of the year, him and Sambou have shown some promising signs for next season.
