Likewise for us
Me too 😊
And me
😊
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I thought Salford always looked threatening when they had possession. I think we defended fantastically last night.

A thoroughly professional performance - maybe the most professional of the season. Plaudits to French for not making a meal of that 'challenge' and don't think the refereeing was any worse than most other nights.
Agree about sorting out the legs over the horizontal problem. As it stands, Kendall had to give a penalty despite it being a textbook tackle. I suspect the lack of of a yellow card shows his view of it. Got to differentiate between the legs being deliberately lifted and the player being tackled, lifting his legs to get the penalty.
Otherwise - all top class. Mago's best game - Wardle looking a steal - KPP will be missed and a shout out to Nsemba for his long and very effective stint.

Refereeing is shocking atm. Come back John Holdsworth all is forgiven! ;)

Seriously though, and with all the video/assistant aids available, it's shocking. I can't think of a single ref who stands out. Let's hope the "new batch" coming through are more able.

A bit of topic, but I’ve just counted and Wigan have conceded 7 tries in their last 5 games! Some going that 👏

No, M6. I knew the junction was going to be shut on my way home before I set off for the match. I have got into the habit of checking given closures have been regular events on a Friday night as they “upgrade” the motorway to a smart one.

Diversion was short, head towards Warrington from J22, onto M62, then back on the M6 but as I was heading to Chester the sat nav deemed a scenic trip through Warrington at night was the way to go. Probably correct given the traffic trying to get back on the M6.

Yes Salford are a difficult side to beat. We have lost to worse sides than that this season.

Cant fault the defence one bit.A bit miffed as how many advantages kendall stopped.For me he totally spoiled that second half for both teams

Very much on-topic, I'd say! You'd struggle to lose games, conceding that few! :D
