| I reckon they brought about 750 t0 800 maximum.I also thought that they tried to play open rugby for the 80 mins and tied to keep the ball moving. Every credit to them.

Which is exactly why they lost the game imo - their tactics in the opening 20mins were suicidal.
They have a decent pack but didn't use it.

I'm sure the Hull fans would say the same about the fan or fans who abused Sam Moa (if true). If the good fans of all clubs judge a set of supporters by its lowest common demoninator then we let the idiots win. The fans I spoke to were well informed, fair minded and a pleasure to chat to. That's how I choose to judge the Hull fans, not by the standards set by a few idiots.

They did have tonight imo but tactically chose to go wide early which resulted in lost ball and early Wigan dominance.
Players like O'Meley looked lost out there at times when the ball was passed out wide, i just found it a very strange strategy by Gentle.
Early drives up the middle is what was required - especially early doors.

| I cant believe how poor Hull were. I thought we may have struggled last night with the injuries that we had but, and whilst I appreciate Hull had injuries too, it really was an easy game. Hull were so pedestrian and looked clueless when passing the ball. Very poor from them and they werent a great deal better at the KC without the injuries.

We had roughly the same amount of injuries back when we played at the KC. We've struggled all year with them so never really had a consistent team to put out.
You guys are so far ahead in terms of youth velopment it's unreal, and proven by the loan signings and mid season signings we've had to make. Until we make big strides in our youth development we won't be challenging for anything.

Our injuries were just as bad at the KC earlier in the year, and we went in to that game on the back of a very physical cup tie with Hudds.
We are a mid-table side who are not (yet) at Wigan's level, however we would have given you a better game with a few more fit players in the side, even some of the players who took to the field such as Manu, Whiting and Westerman took to the field with injuries.
I hope we can sort our squad out and give you a run for your money for the first time in years next year!

I don't quite agree with your summary. I thought Hull did well to keep the ball alive on many occasions and against lesser defences would probably have scored more. Wigan's defence was very good considering the number of players out. Hull's props looked dangerous on occasions and maybe the mistake Hull made was not toughing it out more in the forwards. Wigan's attack is superb and they make tries look easier than they are at times. I think it is unfair to say that Hull were poor. There was a lack of intensity which meant the game was never really going to be the difficult game it could have been.
The number and quality of good young players coming through the Wigan ranks at the moment is amazing. Other SL clubs need to catch up quick so that we can cut down on the number of overseas players.

| I looked at the Hull attack in the first half as I was surprised how poor they'd been and there was no structure whatsoever. They had no attacking line, no idea who to pass too and at one point passed to O'Meley on the 4th tackle 30yards out who seemed to be thinking "WTF have you give it me for"

I agree. The only times they got anywhere close were after all our unforced knock-ons in our own half, and even then they mostly couldn't take advantage.

They were in a much worse state injury wise at the KC. They had 2 kids at halfback and Crooks in the centre and then lost Martin early doors. They also has quite a few others out. We on the other hand were much stronger iirc so that result came as no suprise unlike Friday.
Our depth is fantastic at the moment and like a Hull fan pointed out that's due to our youth development. These guys like Thornley, Powell, Hughes and Crosby are slotting right in and it's great to see.
It frustrates me that nothing ever seems to get said about our injuries but that again speaks volumes for the youngsters. We had Richards, Goulding, Finch, Leuluai, Prescott, Flower, Dudson and Fielden missing from our squad on Friday yet we've beaten an 'injury hit' Hull side.
I suppose we should take that as a compliment!
