| Wigan got their tactics spot on tonight, it was awful to watch but it worked for them. the constant slowing our play the ball down, timewasting( 7 times i counted them kicking or throwing the ball away) etc were obviously intended to stop us playing and credit to them, it did. can't fault them for trying it its up to the officials to police this and i feel they didn't tonight, Wigan were in control of ruck speed, messing about etc because the officials gave them free reign to do this and we just couldn't get going on the back of it and it negated our plan - like i said it seemed to be a tactic tonight and it worked, no complaints we were 2nd best.
Also, we had Lunt, Wood and Faiumu tonight - why all 3 ? surely Lunt is good enough to play 60 + mins with one of the others spelling them, we are a totally different team with Lunt on the field so why isn't he on more ?

| Wane played six props and no one understood the sense of starting with Andy Powell. He lasted 9 mins at the start and 5 at the end of the game. In those 14 mins he made 13 tackles and 3 hit ups. Powell is 6'5" around 18 st and thunders in when tackling. When he went off Scott Taylor came on and made massive metres. The Giants pack could cope with the size and pace of the Wigan forwards.
The two Giants starting props faced three Wigan starting props in that first 15 mins and couldn't cope. Eorl went off after 16 mins.
That set the stall for the rest of the game.
Following that Green and Smith ran the show on the back of a winning pack.
The Wigan ptb was very fast as the Giants were only putting 2 men into a tackle in the middle. Hudds ptb were slow as Wigan had three men in most tackles.
Get it right up front and you'll beat Hull FC.

yep! i want us to go back to having 4 out and out props! a blow not having fielden for this and mullally not really stepped up... faiumu has gone well but is only a makeshift prop.
the play of the ball was alot quicker by wigan.. but bentham wasnt giving us a thing when wigan were slowing the pth down

| To be fair, Powell was taken off because he was way out of his depth, hence him only coming back on with 5 minutes left. They effectively had only 16 players.

| To be fair to Andy Powell, he had a couple of massive collisions with Eorl, due to being a RL player Eorl won both collisions, but at a cost, he was not right afterwards. Shaun Wane would have been delighted to swap losing Andy Powell from the game and removing Eorl's effectiveness.
