yes lets not get carried away. we blew half a dozen chances and whilst we certainly scored some good looking tries we were under no pressure.

to much one man rugby when we should have been far more ruthless. Of course I am happy with scoring 60 points but it should have been more.

if prescott gets suspended he needs shooting, just not needed in that game

so that means for 60 mins you had a 1 man advantage which is hard to play against a poor team never mind yourselves,even catalan exposed this when playing against you last week when you was down to 12.

nope salford

Chris Ashton was watching the game tonight, the rumour mill will soon be working overtime.

It looked like a training exercise. No real intensity in the play or the crowd. Even though we won and played some nice rugby, it left me a little flat.

We can only play whats in front of us, what do you expect our players to do? 'No wait Mr Thaler please dont send him off we dont want a 1 man advantage' go crawl back to where you came from you idiot.

Not to worry, we all have problems.

He was sat in front of me with his mates in the west stand...left with about 20mins left i think, regards rumours he was probably just having a night out and enjoying some time off ...i wouldn't read anything into it

PART TIMER!

hahahahaha

It's official then Wigan can only win with 12 men or against 12 men...WTF are you trying to say

Are you a dire fan?

if Ashton has learned to tackle, then i'm sure Madge can find him a spot on the bench/in the u20s

i know and i live in wigan go figure.

figure what?

Salford were very very poor tonight, devoid of attacking ideas and didn't really test us at all!!

Superb performance, bring on next week!!!

Ps, what a poor turnout from Salford... Can't have been more than 125!!!

Felt a lot like the early games this season against Crusaders, Catalans and Hull KR - tiny away following and basically a training exercise on the pitch. It was over as a contest 20mins in which took any edge out of the game - we still played some great stuff though. Sam's pass for Hansen's try was really great. Fair play to Salford, the two scores they managed were well taken, but they didn't threaten us at all outside of that. Solid performance from Wigan, without the easing off in the final quarter of a certain win that's been a feature of some games this year.

The sad reality is that he will earn way more in his playing career than anyone on display tonight. He is going nowhere.

How is he going nowhere?

Correct. It was very flat tonight, the crowd only got 'up for it' in the last twenty! How ironic though was being sang at by 4 Salford scallies (out of their grand total of 150 tonight), that our support was f***king $hit!

Obviously Ashton won't come back to League any time soon I'm jesting, he was sat with his mates Stephen Fry and Joanna Lumley sipping Pimms and plum juice whilst eating prawn sarnies.

Looked like Lager and Crisps to me

Killing the joke

I agree, there was some party piece rugby in the 2nd half, which whilst superbly executed and entertaining, id have prefered a sterner test ahead of next week.

Agreed. The biggest cheers where when the Saints & Leeds scores were shown!

Highlight of the night has to be Sam's yellow boots.
