He did have a good game and a couple of decent offloads too.
Stats dont always tell the story.

BIT harsh on the lad to single him out. On a per carry basis all of the forwards were only picking up about 5 yards a go. Show what Good line speed wigan had.

So..
Golden point practised in the week
Ellis selected and delivers (in face of derision)
Unknown winger identified and brought through to make 2 try debut
Hull avoid arm wrestle when missing forwards, use offloading game plan
None of the tries from kicks, all worked

Does Radford deserve any credit for the above?

Absolutely. The really re-assuring thing is the squad all seem together & massively motivated. With 3 front line props, Hadley, Albie & maybe Talanoa all to return in the next few weeks we could go on a bit of a winning run, be nice to be back in the top 5 soonest.

I watched from 1946 until 1959 when I left Hull and because of regionalisation cannot remember too many Wigan games being played in that period against either Hull or Rovers. Stretching my memory I only remember 1 in the late 40's when Wigan played Rovers. Went with my dad and the match was memorable for the incident in the last minutes when Wigan,behind by 1 point, were awarded a penalty for a voluntary tackle in the corner close to the Rovers line and kicked the goal to win.

Not seen too many penalties for voluntary tackles since!
