I do find it funny that Wane has been complaining about referees several times that he makes comments like that. His latter comments about our effort sound crazy and desperate.
Salford head coach Iestyn Harris:
"The in-goal touch judge gave a drop-out. He is right there on the spot and he (the referee) goes with a touch judge that is 20 metres away.
"That was frustrating for us and disappointing but it's Wigan away. I've been in that dressing room and you tend to get those decisions when you are in that dressing room.
"Wigan threw a lot at us and we defended reasonably well. We repelled a lot of what they threw at us and a couple of ricochets got us.
"We certainly have to do a lot of improvement with ball in hand but the attitude of the players was spot on."
Wigan head coach Shaun Wane in response:
"That sounds to me like an absolute cop-out, but I wouldn't expect anything else. That was a dead-set try. If he is moaning about one try - just worry about other things.
"I am amazed at that comment. He doesn't need to worry about things like that.
"Half-time was really simple - very loud. That is the most I have ever freaked out, probably. I think I have lost a year of my life there.
"That was a must-win game. I wasn't bothered about playing well or bad. I wanted to win the game. I didn't want to be in a great game, play well and get pipped by a point by them.
"Bad or good I wanted two points. That was a non-negotiable, life-or-death win. We had to win. That is why I was so animated at half-time."
