Johnson cant be far away, didnt they initially say 6 weeks? It's been at least 4 since then.

That's not fair, I mean how often does a rugby league player get too 100 and still be playing?

Williams must be pushing for meli's spot when Johnson returns, definitely been the better winger the last couple of games.

Sorry but even though Meli has scored some walk ins, Williams couldn't have scored half the tries he has. Zero confidence when close to the line, won't back himself.

Whatever Meli's faults in defence,he knows his way to the line.
They've not all been walk ins

Be interesting to see how many times he gets walked past tomorrow.

Didn't Johnson have an operation today? Im sure i saw an official thing on Facebook.

That was Mullaney.

I'm glad to have gained your approval.

Fingers crossed we can show some signs of improvement tonight. I think we will only be able to judge properly after the Bradford game, mind.

A couple of things from last night.

Firstly - the crowd was pitifully low. And don't blame the fact that it was on a Thursday, I mean what else have you got to do on a Thursday night? But if I were MK I'd be thinking long and hard about whether I've bought the right club. With a little patience he could have bought the Bulls - maybe he will.

Secondly - I hope Harrison Hansen also thinks long and hard about the complete disaster of a decision to leave Wigan. And this is not with the benefit of hindsight either. What an unfathomable, disastrous, career finishing, bonkers decision to leave the double winners (and maybe doubledouble winners?) for that carcrash of an event.

Thanks for that. Please, off.

I acknowledge the fact that you said "please".

You managed to be abusive and respectful in six short words. Respect to you.

Courtesy costs nothing, but his sentiment is shared by most of us .......

You're either deliberately looking for a rise out of fans that are at a low ebb, or you're misjudging the fact that anyone cares what your thoughts are. Either way, it just shows that you're climbing the forums bellendery charts.

Particularly impressive given that it took you two whole paragraphs to be come across as a bellend.

Oh dear I seem to have touched a nerve. Was it the bit about the shameful attendance last night? God knows what it would have been without the Wigan fans. But that is not insulting you - because presumably you were there along with all the other keyboard warriors. The quip about HH was carried on - as you well know - from the earlier discussion when you tried to explain patiently to me the wisdom behind his decsion to leave Wigan.

I always thought forums were for debate. You are obviously keen to exclude those of us who care about Rugby from enaging with you. Fair enough.

For the record I've always like Salford, although I much preferred The Willows to the soulless arena that is the AJ Bell. I rather like MK too. He is much needed in the game. If Salford people don't support him he will leave and take his money elesewhere.

I'm going now and - would the last one who leaves please turn out the lights.

No nerve touched.

I just find it amazing that people think that debate and discussion is the same thing as being condescending with barely disguised digs. That's not debate. That's being a bellend. Your reply above highlights this perfectly.

Hard to argue with that, although I'm sure butcher boy will try. Laughable decision from HH.

Aboveusonlypie and I, already had a reasonable and fairly adult conversation and debate about the subject elsewhere so I don't have any further cause to go on about it. Especially for mental subnormal's such as yourself.

You called him a bellend too! Hang your head in shame.

Yes I did.

But if you look carefully and read, which might not be one of your stronger points, I was perfectly civil to him until he went on the slippery slope of snide comments and digs.

Please tell me what your point is this time?

Or is it once again, spurious?

Prefer laughing to reading.

If only you preferred laughing to writing, then we'd all be happy.

Actually that was what I thought until you got abusive.

On reflection I probably deserved it. Though in my defence you have to understand that being condescending is a Wiganer's birthright. If you don't believe me read Dave Hadfield's book Up and Over. He acknowledges that in Wigan even a new born baby knows more about RL than your average fan
