The Hull following was fantastic for a Friday night. The official figure was 2,100(ish) which is a great effort and you deserved to see a better and more disciplined preformence.



The real plus point for Hull tonight I thought was Richard Hornes preformence. He caused us(Hansen especially) no end of problems everytime he took the ball in.

Was Long fit? He did no long kicking.



Horne once again our best player.



Penalties killed us, we never had ther ball and we therefore had too much tackling to do, we showed when we did have it we could score tries.

I said that on the way back. Was like the mcrae years all over again

We gave the penalties away because we couldn't compete with their intensity

Excellent post!

Horne and Fitzy really stood out for you guys. Also, that Lauaki shows great enthusiasm - really doesn't half get stuck in!



I like the Hull set up, it's just at the moment, at home, we are on fire. Obviously the ref wasn't the greatest, but as has been mentioned your discipline seemed a little off with a lot of the penalties conceded around the PTB.



Chin up and here's to a good season for Hull.

No it was because we lost the collision, they were getting up too fast, we tried to slow them down and got pinged for it time and time again.

would have to agree with that. Wigan went straight to knees on nearly every collision, but were up and ready to go far quicker than hull. Hull could not contain this. In contrast Wigan had hull on their backs in the tackle and so controlled the ruck.



This simple difference contributed to the penalty count and thus field position and possession.



It wasn't that Hull weren't inventive with ball in hand, we split them a few times, we just didn't have the ball much.

In contrast Wigan had the ball and were very well drilled in attack. We were shown how to play EFFECTIVELY last night.

Good post and thanks mate.Same to you

Spot on Mrs B.



If I didn't know better, I'd have reckoned that they'd stopped in Weir Bar for a session before leaving Hull. So completely not at the races (with a couple of exceptions) that Wigan could have put more on us without a problem.

right on the money there me thinks, no steady yourself for the barage

last night was the first and last time i'll be going this season.



nothings changed since last year.



its the same predictable one out attack with the occasional suicide short pass.

half the team dont look bothered.

its still got to be the thickest set of players ever assembled.

whenever the opposiiton put more than 2 passes together they score.

and lee radford spends half the time doubled over knackered, the other half hes having a rest on top of a tackled player and getting penalised.



one more whinge... is mark o'meley affraid of tackling?
