I'll trump you Roby.
As I've said for many years his passing for a top class dummy half (which he is) is no more than average. Stu Howarth was by far the better player in the first half when Salford had an equal(or better) share of possession.

Cam Smith, Michael Eniss etc don't have anything to worry about.

That's because your 2nd man of the match and lomax have him no ball at all 2nd half. I don't lomax passed all night.

Dixon (immense tonght)
Wheeler (throwing people off tackles for fun)
Roby (as ever)

Soliola
Robot Roby!
Dixon

I would offer it to Wilkin as he was the only team member to acknowledge the West stand support each and every time there was a restart .



In general play I would give it to ( Cyclops ), coz he ran more as a trainer/ waterboy for Salford, than he ever did for us as a player....

Sia was immense, he ran so hard tonight, got a good battering and ran it in hard when we where on the back foot. Really took the game to Salford when we needed a couple of props to get us out of trouble.

When we where ontop he was still running it hard.

Then Dixon / Gaskell - hard to pick between these 2 as dixon looked class but was not on during our bad spell. Gaskell quiet first half, but had a hand or foot in most tries, just needs to look around when he makes a break to be a little more aware of his back up. Makinson needs to shout louder.

Totally agree with comments about Gaskell. Thought our kicking game (from Gaskell predominitely) was pretty good, and found the ground much more than a Salford player. 2nd half he had involvement with most tries too. He was probably my MOM just about, but to be honest, there really wasn't a stand out performance from anyone.

Did saints lose last ever derby at knowsley road erm answer yep nicky nacky noo

Did Wigan lose their first ever game at DW?

No, we beat Warrington at KR in a semi final, or did you forget SL has a playoff after the regular rounds? I've been waiting for the attendance stuff to kick in, I now know why it isn't going to looking at Wigans first ever attendance for their last game of the season in their first ever game of their new home.... Anyway you have FIOS and we will have FMH ( Forever making history ). Tra then flower, its been a pleasure

Has anyone else noticed that stevo always picks a very young player as MOM?.



I think Wilkin had a strong game last night.

But he got away with three errors that, if spotted, would have resulted in three penalties.

Wheeler in the first half was outstanding (and I so hope he can keep fit this season), along with Soliola. Those two were the only two players going forward for the first forty minutes. Thankfully, everybody else remembered to do the same thing after halftime.

2. Dixon

Dixon.

Everyone else.

The same for me.

It's OK, we all appreciate you've invested too much time in slagging Wheeler off to change your mind any time soon.

We'll revisit this when he goes on his usual sebatical in a week or two. He was very promising for 20 minutes against Salford I'll give him that. If he can play like that for more of the game and do it for 20+ games a season, you might be onto something.

I was told at the game that he's accepted a move to Wigan at the end of the season though.

You weren't slagging him over injuries though, you were saying he's never done anything to suggest he's a good player bar one game at Hudds. You are clearly blind to the lad's ability for some reason.

If he doesnt get the ball he cannot do much. When he was in possession he was class.

If so, he is still under contract at Saints and would be an illegal approach...sounds like a load of old tosh to me though!!

Back to O/T my MOM would have been:

1. Roby
2. Lomax
3. Dixon
