To lose Lockers after two minutes that was a good win. Both teams coughed up too much ball in the tackle. I suspect the stats on errors won't look good for both teams but they were worse than us. Penalties started to creep in as the game progressed as well.
I have no idea what game you were watching but I thought Wigan's handling was almost exemplary. It took Joe Bullock dropping the ball in front of Salford's posts (no I don't mean their forum) for the mistakes to come. Perhaps it was fatigue due to the heat and lack of rotation with Lockers limping straight down the tunnel
"I was really satisfied with our performance, though we ran out of steam in the second half.
"We completed at 90 per cent in the first half which is international standard. If we could complete like that every game we'd be happy.
There you go - that is from Adrian Lam. Mr
Both teams coughed up too much ball in the tackle
After Bullock's mistake (dropped ball for those that need it explaining) he missed a tackle and was promptly taken off (uninjured but substituted for those who need it explaining). After that Williams threw a wild intercept (where Hardaker chased Lolohea down easily), Navarette got himself sin-binned over something with Gil Dudson (the Salford player for those who are not aware) and a number of other unforced errors (knocking on at the ptb/wild passes etc)
This started around the 60 minutes mark (the time on the clock for those that are unaware and need it explaining to them) and saw Wigan loose momentum with the flurry of substitutions (where players go onto the field of play to replace another player for those that need it explaining to them)
As for the question - is Lam the man? (for the head coaching job for those that are not aware and need it explaining to them) This game gave no answers. Yes the team is on a role and winning games (even if some have been relatively close). I simply can't see the club offering it to anyone one else other than Adrian Lam (for those unaware the coaching position is available after this season) for no other reason than he is already insitu (as the caretaker coach for those that are not aware)
Still the defence is starting to look more organised (apart from Marshall's wing (no I am not on about the Aves kind for those not aware and who like to play dumb) and as been previously commented on our right side attack is now starting to improve
