Fair play to Salford. Their lads dug in and had a good crack at us. They had us defending our line a good few times in that game and can hold their heads up. When you look at the teams sheets you would have predicted a higher score for Wigan


Peet has previously spoken about managing the season with peaks and troughs of intensity. I can only hope that we have been treating the last few weeks as a  trough, otherwise that today was very worrying. 

We had pretty much a full team out. Salford were reduced to playing half their academy. If we had applied ourselves we should have racked up a 3 digit score. Saints managed 80 and they're shight. 


If we enter the end of the season in a chase for 1st place and points difference is the decider we could end up regretting not being more ruthless today.




Smith and French have both playing below par recently. After the heights they hit in Vegas it has been disappointing to see the sloppy passes, poor choices, lack of game management etc. We've got a good break before we face Hull KR and then Saints. We really need to make those of that and get these 2 back to their best

Massive plus having O'Neil back, you just know the intensity will pick up now with him in the team.
Shout out to Mago today, said it before he looks better the longer he's on the pitch, 5min cameos and it's a waste of an interchange.
Fair play to Salford for never throwing the towel in.
We'll find out where we are over the next four fixtures, bring it on

Wigan will be ready for HKR.

its one of those games that Wigan are in a no win situation


everyone expects them to batter Salford, if they do, thats what was expected, if they dont, there is something wrong


its difficult as a player to motivate yourself in situations like yesterday, so i can understand some of the performances, and equally as a fan, we dont want to see serious drubbings as it doesnt look good for the game overall. I'm sure we would all have preferred a full strength Salford side and we win by 2 points in a tight encounter, than a canter of a win that we had yesterday, as the only real benefit to us was O'Neill getting game time and we boosted our points difference slightly

I guarantee we get absolutely nowt in that game and are waaaaaay on the wrong end of the penalty and six-again count.....

Only watched the last half hour, was expecting a bigger scoreline but fair play to Salford they battled well and asked a few questions. Not sure how he did before this but Vaughan looked good considering it was his first game of the year, him and Sambou have shown some promising signs for next season.
