So guys what was the crowd there today to me it seemed about 2000? Anyone else know the exact attendance?

1851.

Approximately how many of those were Swinton fans?

Not sure cos they weren't all sat together. Maybe 100.

Was it really so low? The stand holds 4500 and it felt / looked at least half full during the game.

1811 according to the club on facebook.

Any news on the game itself (for those not in attendance)?

Who were the halfbacks?
Who played at fullback?

Did Gleeson play / did he play well?

How was the pack?
Are Dixon and Ashurst looking like a good pairing?

Any offerings would be gratefully received........

Well done to everyone who made the effort to attend. It's a shame the attendance was so low. I thought the young lad at full back (No7) looked decent and liked the number 28 when he came on. We looked really sharp 1st 20 mins but it got a bit scrappy after that. Theo Fages was impressive and him and Sneyd look ok together. Bit light in the pack again. Backs look decent and we've got good options at hooker with Wagga Goodwin and Howarth.

Double post.

Evalds was the fullback (despite wearing 7). Class chip and chase try assist. Was replaced by Jack Holmes in the 2nd half who I think was the number 28. Fages and Sneyd were the half backs.

Frustrating today trying to watch without knowing the teams. How hard can it be to release the team list?

Agree with most of that, especially the 'light in the pack' bit. I don't think the backs covered themselves in glory, though, as they let too many Swinton kick-offs bounce in field. Wigan will punish every one of those errors. Still, it was a decent enough run-out and there were some real positives.
