If you looked at our injury & Suspensions then we definitely need bodies. So we thank you for that both clubs seem to have a good relationship but can we have Gelling next time

Sorry too dangerous for him to cycle home on the M60 after games

I see it more that wigan are getting two young players some SL experience. they are more or less guaranteed to play considering Salford's squad problems of late especially further to the two bans we heard of yesterday.

salford were struggling to get a team on the sheet before the loans were agreed so I don't really see it too much of a threat "helping" them out by loaning them two of our players. it can only benefit the two lads in the long run and surely wigan will reap the rewards in the long term too as I can't see them being allowed to play against us (not sure if we have a fixture with them before the loan runs out?)

good business by both clubs if you ask me.

Gildart is a fantastically talented prospect but, as we have already seen, may not be ready physically for Super League. Would they be looking to play him somewhere other than centre. He played at full back, a fair bit, in the U19s, because of injuries.

Young Gildart didn't look ready for the Championship when he played for Workington last week at Halifax. He needs to work on his defence. With ball in hand he looks okay but his defence is his weakness.

Greenwood subbed after 4 min, I don't think he came back, I think Gildart did the full match.

Salford 20, Cas 22.

Re: Greenwood and Gildart loaned to Salford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 5:26 pm  

Greenwood got a mention in the radio commentary with 5 mins left

Re: Greenwood and Gildart loaned to Salford : Sun Apr 26, 2015 5:27 pm  

Greenwood played most of the game because Salford were reduced to one player on the interchange bench.
Considering that players like Locke started on the wing then had to move to six then on to nine and George Griffin, who has been playing prop at Wakefield for the last month,Started at severn then had to move to centre it must not have been easy for the two lads but they let nobody down and are a credit to the Wigan academy setup

The match report on Sky praises Gildart saying he was impressive and made some good runs.

It'll be a really worthwhile spell this for him. With Burgess going at the end of the year he may get some games on the wing and possibly centre if they need to mix things up.
