Seems Andy Coley has played pretty well so far being instrumental in a few of our tries. Ainscough has finished them with a bit of class by all accounts and Sam has done superbly in his first try beating Jordan Turner before going past Kirkpatrick with pace. All in all seems like a decent bit of play from us tonight against what is a suffering Salford side

we've played well all round, coley is having a very good game, sam playing well as is ainscough, smith been on for 20 mins but not doing much

pryce is playing? wing or centre?

12-34

wing

paaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, then again gmr can't make their mind up, nowt new!
try anyway

typical smithy68 what a toooooooooooooool

how did myler play for salford, know he got on the score sheet but a few have touted us to sign him for a long term partnership for sam

Was Salford's best player by a distance, still had a good game in defeat and made a couple of clean breaks as well as finishing his two tries well.

just got back after flying down the lancs.

analysis is pretty much that we did not get out of second gear to win this game and in truth we did not need to! we got the ball wide to shaun ainscough alot and he found alot of reward out of salford, as did sam tomkins and mark riddell.

some fantastic moments for me was riddells vision to put ainscough away down the wing, the pass was what we knew he could do and again mark improved.

richards was great at full back, one break in the second half and i dont know how he kept going, handing off the salford winger, falling over, then setting up leuluai for a great try.

Sam Tomkins again was instrumental, 2 50+ meter tries, his first was sublime and his second off a salford error.

Also alot of praise should go to andy coley who looked like he wanted it, he kept the ball alive and at one stage he performed a run around with fielden to put us away down the right! it was a pleasure to watch coley finally playing!

my top 3 would be

1. coley
2. ainscough
3. richards

with sam, tommy, sean o and piggy also getting mentions.

top 3;

Coley
S Tomkins
Ainscough

Just got back in.

I thought Ainscough was terrific again and proved he's not only a threat with his running but he knows when to hand the ball on aswell and got a couple of cracking passes away.

Sam Tomkins was very good also and looked to take abit more responsibility tonight especially on the kicking side of things. He is a massive threat everytime he takes the line on and his first try was a joy to watch.

Andy Coley had his best game in a Wigan shirt which shows that motivation is without doubt the guys problem. He has the talent but needs a rocket up his .

Good mentions for Richards, Carmont, Leuluai, Riddell and O'Loughlin also and Prescott did well on his first game back.

Roberts and McIlorum should be back in the side next week as Pryce was poor and din't get involved and Smith still can't defend for toffee but did but a couple of neat passes away.

A good job overall.

oh and Richie Myler is class for Salford. I'd love him in a Wigan shirt.

Agree with the plaudits for Coley who made two great one-handed passes in the first half. Some Salford fans I spoke to said he used to do that all the time when he was a Reds player.

Pryce was pretty quiet I thought. He seemed to be hiding in back play quite a bit rather than looking for work. Maybe he's learnt that trick from Union....

A job well done but room for improvement, esp in defence as we did get opened up to much for my liking

Oh, you know, the usual...Wigan win a game, the fans think they are about to win the grand final until next week when they lose and it's doom and gloom everywhere!
