I think Wigan played well against us. The positives I took from the match was our improvement on fitness levels and defence and most importantly our attitude. It was a good start irrelevant of who the opposition was and how they played it is about attitude and yes we need to improve in certain areas and there will be areas of improvement needed for every match in order to challenge for a top position.

I also think that Cas will not be easy to beat this year.

Seems everyone's doing it. Puts last week's win into a bit of perspective for me. I know a lot of people were going OTT about our performance, which I though was gritty but lacked any real quality, plus was a game we could easily have lost had a couple of things gone against us at critical times. Here's hoping for an improved performance and a good win tomorrow

Hull fan in "reasons to keep the optimism in check" shocker.

Agreed. I thought it was a decent performance team wise against Wigan and a game we would have lost previously.

I thought Wigan played poorly against us but I don't think you get many accomplished team performances until about game 4. This said, I reckon Nobles definitely on his way out.

You cannot take anything really from the Wigan game, they where going to be sharper having played the week before and we would be rusty. But as Raggytash pointed out you wont see the real performances till 3 or games have gone by.

Looked the other way round to me.....they was shagged and we got stronger.
