| 9 out of10 in the first half but 6 out of ten in the second.
I hate the Salford carpark.

Yep, about right. Got too far in front by half time and just dropped down to cruise control for the second.

| Like last season we only play one good half. We can't afford to do that next week.
Agree about the car park.

| More then acceptable. We were superb first half and then clearly had an eye on next week in the second (with Thaler having a shocker and nailing us).
The team looks really exciting this year. There's pace and skill aplenty and we should be good to watch. I thought Escare was good as were a few of the backs buts I'd probably go Farrell as man of the match. He really is a fantastic player and he could push hard for man of steel IMO.

| very impressive first half, attack wise. so many options we looked dangerous everytime we went in the Salford half.
re the car park. got to car after the game at 3.08, and drove past the Barley Farm restaurant at 4.18 I joke not !!
For those not familiar with the Barley Farm, it is approx 500 yards from the AJ Stadium. It took 1 hr 10 minutes to exit that car park. Now, in last years Grand Final at Old Trafford, we stayed inside the stadium for the celebration and trophy presentation, left the ground and drove home inside 1 hour 10 minutes, something isn't right there.

I think we can have some confidence that we'll compete. The side looks strong and focussed and I think we'll give it a shot.
we need to rattle them early doors.

| Regarding that car-park, why do our supporters insist on parking there year after year? At the M60 slip round I always turn left towards Eccles, few hundred yards there are numerous side streets to park on (and it's free). Once the game has finished, fifteen minute walk, straight out and home within another twenty minutes!!
To the game itself, thought we went okay! Decent first half but definitely took the foot off the gas after half time ready for next week! Game was more or less won so why not?
How the frig did Mossop win their MOM?

[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

Done this for years watching Sale. I park down the one for Eccles Rugby club. 10 min walk, right onto the motorway within 60 seconds of getting in the driving seat.
Never understood the obsession with people surrounding the car park. It seems obvious to me if you park at the stadium it will be busy, give it 5 mins worth of effort to get away and it will be less busy.

6,200 it said on the superleague site.
We had a decent percentage of that main stand as well so we certainly helped swell that.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Sshhh don't give the secret away but yeah, I was back in Orrell at 3.45, one of the easiest games to park and get away from If you know the score...
As for the game itself, that's the sharpest I've seen us look in an opening game for a very long time. The first half at least. Every time we got down their end we put a set move on and scored. Bodes well for next week and I'm slightly optimistic.

| Difficult to knitpick over yesterday's result.
Looked like we could score at will in the first half, but the cue was firmly on the rack in the second.
No real complaints about that with next week looming.
Don't like leaking soft points, but Salford's comeback was always going to be too little too late.
The only real worry I have is how weak we looked under the high ball. A really good field-kicker could give us quite a few problems if we don't remedy that.

| Having seen the scores it did appear that we were full of ideas near their line which was certainly in short supply last year.
Thought our pace out wide did Salford as it will a few teams this year.
The second half is a lesson to be learned.
