Brett has lost a yard BUt isn't Hodgson supposedly one of the fastest in SL. He still struggled to catch Brett. Anyhow, there's a lot more to Brett dallas than simply a fast man. His hit ups were awesome tonight.
good at swimming aswell.

It made me laugh when calderwood ran into touch. Ashton was a bit greedy i think, could have offloaded to calders a few times... i think mcavoy had the most of the ball between all the centres and wingers

Watching it from the east stand it did look like a shocker when he threw that wild pass over his shoulder. But if you watch it on sky it could have been different, he had 2 wigan players chasing and 1 salford. Unfortunately it went to the salford guy. I agree if he had gone to ground maybe we would have come up with something but remember the adrenalin was pumping we were shouting and there were undoubtedly shouts on the field aswell.
He`s not as fast as he was, but he can still give most a good thrashing!!

If Dallas didn't pass it, he wud have gone into touch. No matter if he passed it, or taken the tackle and gone into touch he would have been criticised. He did what he thought was best, still an awesome player, leave it at that.

I think Brett Dallas has been a fantastic player and a great servant to wigan. Its just a shame he has lost that yard of pace. Its still good to see him backing himself against fullbacks though and going for the corner, cant knock him for that. Im a good friend of david hodgeson and he used to allways tell me that dallas would allways win sprint training sessions at wigan. Dont think that is the case now, think hodgeson has gone even faster since he lost around a stone in weight.

I have just watched the particular incident again, and I am just wondering, should Dallas have had better support?

The correct play would have been an infield kick. The other alternative is to kick for yourself just as the would be tackler gets you in range. Mind you talk is easy. That's why we are here and Brett pulls on the shirt :)

Not our most he's level with a certain pat richards.
No he's not he was level with him and ashton before the match and then scored in the match so now he's in to double figures

Micky higham who again was very good bombed a try with Ashton on his inside. Mind you I am happy we have two excellent hookers.
