I'm glad that there are some fans who actually do watch the game, I was also impressed with Mossop. Chuffed to bits that we have him at Wigan, he's going to be a huge player for us for years to come. Puts himself about all over the pitch and isn't afraid of anything that gets in his way.

Again I agree - the only question with Mossop is whether he is a prop or a second rower. Reminds me a little of the dilemma with Peacock at Bradford early in his career when he played on the fringes. I'd personally look for him to be Bailey's replacement in the second row next season, with a view to him moving to prop if Hock returns and we have a reshuffle in the back row. Hopefully this won't delay the progress of Farrell who looks a real talent and needs games next season. Of the current forwards, I think Hansen should be the one worried about his long term place - a good defender and hardworker, but just doesn't seem to have the attacking qualities of other options in the squad and those on the fringes.

Hull were terrible we should have blitzed them. I thought Richard Horne and Chris Thorman were just terrible. I would hate to be a Hull FC fan.

So with that in mind that was an average performance. Sums super league up for me. Boring to watch. Flat passes again and again. The DW stadium is like a library.

I thought we still look a bit dodgy on the last tackle. An area we must improve on.

I thought our kicking game close to the line was poor AGAIN.

I think we miss Michael McIlorum. There was no spark at all from the acting half. Thomas Leuluai and Mark Riddell were anonymous last night. Usually Riddell makes the difference when he comes on but he had a VERY quiet game today.

I thought George Carmont was outstanding but I wouldn't play him next week. The game next week is not that important in context of the play offs to risk Carmont with that thigh injury. I would give Darrell Goulding a shot.

Cameron Phelps made two kicks last night and both were outstanding. If we want to take some of the pressure off Leuluai and Tomkins it shouldn't be O'loughlin it should be Phelps.

Overall dull game and not a performance that will worry any of the top four sides in the competition. We will have to be a whole lot better if we are to have any chance of reaching the Final.

It's a good job it isn't play off time yet then!

9 wins out of last 11 and your bound to get some flat performances now and again!
Thank God it was last night and not 2 x weeks time!

Had a sling on last time I saw him a couple of weeks ago. Not sure what he's done or how serious it is but he may not be available.

Bugger I forgot about that.

Well the only other suggestion is Karl Pryce I guess.


I would still try and give George Carmont a weeks rest before the play offs.
