 Salford Stun the Warriors to Reach the Grand Final There was just six points between the Wigan Warriors and the Salford Red Devils when the two sides met at the same venue just a fortnight ago, in the opening round of the play-offs. The prize tonight was a trip to Old Trafford next Saturday for the game's flagship event, and a chance at picking up the Super League trophy from the grasp of St Helens.
Adrian Lam juggled his side with Ben Flower and Sean O'Loughlin promoted from the bench to the starting line-up compared to a fortnight ago. Ian Watson's Salford made just one change from the last game, with Greg Burke being brought into the seventeen.
Everyone, including the bookies, expected Wigan to make their eleventh Grand Final, and their sixth in the last seven years. Salford were seeking their first ever appearance at a stadium just five miles over the River Irwell from their base. Momentum, however, was with the Red Devils.
