Definitely the biggest derby for 40 years. Who knows maybe the days of the 2 clubs regularly competing against each other in big games will become commonplace again.
Hull FC did exceptionally well against Wigan fair play. But you were getting hammered until Field went off and Keighran playing on one leg. And without doubt there was a Vegas hangover for Wigan. Even so there are 7 clubs grateful that you took advantage.
Rovers have conceded 40 points v Wigan’s 47 in the league. Wigan have played stronger teams, so I wouldn’t see Rovers as a better defence. I would rather play Rovers than Wigan any day.
It only needs one sin bin or sending off incident to change a game. You’ve had it one way for a season, but we are becoming a different opposition and our wingers
I'm fairly confident of a Rovers win, teams are struggling to get out of their own half and you will be coming up against a defence better than anything you have faced so far.
In the league, Wigan have conceded 47 pts v stronger opposition compared with Rovers 40.
I would rather play Rovers any day of the week than Wigan.
