Was impressed with Green and Farrell. Everyone else did ok, I worry about our props though, they will get walked over next week, we need a real house prop.

It was definitely 3 for Sam.

I was there and saw it, plus GMR are reporting a Sam Hat-Trick.

Yes hat trick 11/1 with Skybet, what's the problem?

Question... When Sam clearly had his foot in touch, then used his hand to tap the ball that was still in the field of play kicked by a salford player, the scrum was given to Salford, but an argument followed.

Was he hoping to take advantage of a rule I know nothing about or was it a brain bubble?

the is new rule but not sure how it works as the was the sam incident plus salford kicked the ball out when we were attacking and they got the 20 metre restart instead of a goal line drop out

The way I would interpret that means it should have been a Wigan scrum. I'm sure the ball was still moving. He deliberately put his foot in touch then tapped the moving ball. I assume he didn't think it would run itself out but wasn't confident that he could pick it up in play. Wigan scrum, have breather and build again. Officials obviously thought different. Thoughts?

I got 11/1 on Friday afternoon.

I've always taken the stance that "okay, you still beat us, but you were crap and you'll get battered next week by a real team" is a churlish response to defeat. Even if it happens to be true (which is isn't necessarily, in this case). I've heard it a thousand times over the years. It's the sort of comment that people like Tony Barrow used to specialise in.

Salford are up s**t creek for sure, but, on paper at least - or so people keep telling us - Wigan are weaker than they were last season. Under those circs I'll take a 42-0 win, regardless of what some embittered Salfordian thinks.

Would have won by more, played better, had a much better indication of where we are and had more chance against the "Wolfs" next week if Hock had played!



Good run out, hopefully no injuries & looking forward to Next week
Whether we do or don`t beat em next week I`m confident of 100% effort, can't ask for more than that.

I think we will hae a good year this year. I'm not expecting miracles but I'm looking forward to seeing the partnership between green and smith grow. Thornley looks like he could become a class centre. I think if we manage to get a W next week out confidence will shoot. If we lose its not the end of the world but I think we have a psychological weakness against Warrington. Sometimes I think we are beat before we get to the game.

Think it was a 40-20
