Thought that was a great spectacle. Really physical contest, probably at the cost of technical skill but all round good game.

Improvements to be made for us I think, but that’s not a criticism for a change. Our defence was brilliant for the most part and we were just solid in attack. A few chances we bombed (that Harry Smith break and Zak break) but we got the win against a good Hull side.

Really looking forward to playing them again next week in the cup.

Just on the racist comment allegation; irrespective of who said it, if it’s proven we should be cancelling their contract and sacking them for gross misconduct. Absolutely no excuse for it. The big caveat there is ‘if’ obviously


I expected a tough game and Hull gave us one.

Both teams obviously had a few players missing so I’d like to think that if both teams were at full strength then a good contest would have been even better.

Really pleased that Hull are looking improved on recent seasons. Their scramble defence tonight was fantastic
A good Hull team is a great boost for the game. Always a great atmosphere when Hull bring a lot of fans on their trips to Wigan.

I’m pretty certain that next week’s game will be even tougher and hopefully a great game for terrestrial tv
Could be a classic CC tie.

They were both great, but I also think Byrne and Shorrocks put in a hell of a shift in the middle.


Byrne really put himself about in the second half. He had a good running battle with Ligi Sao, the two of them landed some crunching hits on each other.

It was a very good game imo. Lacked a bit of quality and composure at times, but more than made up for it in sheer speed a physicality. I bet a few guys will wake up tomorrow morning and think my god do I really have to do that again next week?!

Sounds like Reynolds will play next week which should bring us a bit more attacking nous and decision making that we just didn't get from McNamara. Hopefully round 2 is as good as this one was.

Connor head high tackle and he is sin binned. Farrell does the same and is only penalised.
Hull warned for offside at successive plays and a penalty. Wigan warned for markers not square at successive plays and only six again.
Child gave six again to Wigan on a couple of occasions only after Wigan players exaggeratedly complained.
Wigan consistently - and I’m not just talking about this game - move off the mark when playing the ball and the referee penalises the defending side for pushing them back.
Even the commentators referred to how offside Wigan were at the end but no action by the referee
More than any other team Wigan have learnt how to play referees.
Overall a good performance from Hull considering the above.

Re: v Hull FC : Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:49 pm  
IMO, I think tonight’s highlighted why we need French at Fullback as soon as he’s up to speed. Zak is a good fullback but doesn't have that killer pass in him or that “xfactor” french has close to the line.With a strong attacking fullback tonight I think we’d of posted more points when we were close to their line. Yes Zak’s been in great form, but what he’s been at good for us this year has been mainly his work ethic and the yards he makes which easily could easily be done at centre.

Two pretty evenly matched teams in my opinion and you will for sure be better for the inclusion of Reynolds.

I genuinely think that there won’t be more than 6 points between the teams next week and I’m hoping for a bit of a CC classic with hopefully Wigan snatching the spoils.

Thought you’re lads put up a great defence tonight in an even contest. Just wish we all could have been there to watch it in the flesh so to speak.

What tonight’s game highlighted is that French isn’t a Winger and is very suspect when it comes to the high Ball

What about two Hull tries from incorrect knock on decisions? Not a chance in hell that Bevan knocked on, or Powell stripped it either.

Is the Farrell tackle you mention the one on Fonua that we kicked the penalty from? Can't compare the two mate. Connor's was a solid shot in the mush, Farrell's was a lazy grab that started on the shoulder.

I did think Wigan probably got the rub, a few soft 6 agains and I thought there were a couple of knock ons near the end that should have been given in our favour. But you are just coming across as bitter tbh. Wigan were just about the better team and deserved the win. Hopefully we'll get them next week.

Agreed, he’s better at Fullback
