They've gone full circle with obstruction. Last time we played Salford there was a ridiculous number of penalties given for it. Now they seem to be ignoring most.

On a side note, do you want a Dudson over the hill. Big bloke but a bit of a liability.

You were saying? Haha

Haha no chance. He's a big pudding. You haven't got a spare half back though have you?

I'm afraid not. Salford have about 20 don't they?

I've lost track. They could do with a couple more on this showing.

With regards to the Charnley one, it doesn't have to be intentional does it? I thought they changed the rules (again) to say that if it goes forward off a defender's hand or arm then it's a knock on, regardless of intent. I may be wrong but I think that's the case.

Your right and they did and i prefer the rule that way, takes out the opinion of the Ref.

I didn't realise they'd changes the interpretation. I thought it had to be either intentional or in other words putting your arm where it is likely to make contact with the ball as is often the case. Correct call but still harsh.

Must have been a terrible game to watch as a neutral

It wasn't great. Lots of mistakes from both sides, mainly Salford. Had Sa'u not messed his break up then it could have been a closer game but the two quick fire tries killed them off.

Wigan were fairly average up to about 60 minutes and then they chanced their arm a bit and played some nice stuff. I also felt they had another gear or two.

Salford were very disappointing, especially taking into account their recent form.

Frustrating to watch, as it could've been a contest at one point inbetween the opening try and Gelling's first there was a 20 minute gap and Salford started to get some possession in Wigan's half and continued to make a complete harsh of it. Think the Sa'u chance summed it up, Salford had the chance to be good.....made a complete mess of it. It was like watching Hull in last years CC Final thinking "stop screwing up, I want a contest."

Wigan provided some good moments to watch in the final quarter and I enjoyed Charnley chasing back on Evalds.

Wigan got some 50/50 calls and Sau messed up big time.
Even if Lockers spent 10 in the bin can anyone say for certain that Salford would have actually completed a set in that time, nevermind score a try?
Wigan got better as the game progressed and Salford just got worse.
A remarable performance off a four day turnaround.
