FC pretty poor in the first half but Wigan's defence has been superb.
Not a game for the purists mind.

Hope the 2nd half is more exciting.

why is there no wigan fans there?

Typically dour dogged wigan performance.

We're making breaks but can't finish them.

Not a great advert for the game is it, when the so called greatest club in the world takes less than a Batley home crowd to a semi final.

I want to see what burst Sarginson's face in the end, you think we'll get a replay of that?

Wigan a bit unlucky with the disallowed try but, their defence is superb.

For all the discussion about Wigan's 'style' I don't think anyone can deny that on their day they have the best defence in the league and they're showing it so far.

Pretty evenly matched. The difference, in the halfbacks, Williams came up with something. For Hull I've not seen much of Tuimavave at HB previously but he's not impressed me tonight so far (cue him doing something good in the 2nd half)

Batley don't have to travel 90 miles across the M62 on a Friday night for home games though. 2000 away fans as it is essentially is pretty good going. I'm not there as I couldn't get the day off work and didn't finish until half 6.

Were I a wigan fan, I'd be pretty pleased with that half. Were I a hull fan I'd be disappointed.

I think that's the cleanest I've seen Wigan play this year. Some good hits without any malice or cheap shots.

Hull look like a teaspoon trying to pierce the lid of a microwave meal. George Williams has the potential to be the best halfback we have produced for quite a while.

Schofield's been to a turkish barber

Shouldn't be going to the VR for a basic decision such as that. No melee or complex play just a straight onside and grounding.

Not Minichellos night is it?

How is that not a knock on by Williams??!
