Salford bid to break Wigan hoodoo

Martin Gleeson says this weekend’s visit to Wigan will hold no fears for Salford.

The Red Devils head into the game on the back of a comfortable 30-10 victory over Widnes last weekend and their assistant coach thinks they can record their first ever success at the DW Stadium on Friday.

“We are always confident of winning, whoever we are playing, and we don’t look at issues such as first ever wins,” he told the club’s official website.

“It was our first ever Super League win at Hull, a few weeks ago, but we never considered it as such.

“We have been assessing how the lads have come out of the Widnes game, and judging their availability. We shall be travelling to Wigan, with a game plan which will make us confident of challenging them.

“We are only half way through the regular season, with a long way still to go, and much can happen yet.

“We are mindful of the fact that two points will keep us up the ladder, and help us get to where we want to be at the end of the year.”
