- Salford 14-13 Wakefield
- Wakefield coach Mark Applegarth concedes defeat ‘stings’
Good teams find a way to win games when they are not at their best but the worry for Wakefield is that, even with the new Super League season barely a month old, they are already finding ways to lose games they could easily win.
Their first victory of 2023 felt tantalisingly within reach on several occasions here. With Salford visibly off-colour and some way from the form which propelled them to within a game of the Grand Final last season, this was a match that felt there for the taking for Wakefield.
