Horne and Fitzy really stood out for you guys. Also, that Lauaki shows great enthusiasm - really doesn't half get stuck in!

I like the Hull set up, it's just at the moment, at home, we are on fire. Obviously the ref wasn't the greatest, but as has been mentioned your discipline seemed a little off with a lot of the penalties conceded around the PTB.

Chin up and here's to a good season for Hull.

No it was because we lost the collision, they were getting up too fast, we tried to slow them down and got pinged for it time and time again.

would have to agree with that. Wigan went straight to knees on nearly every collision, but were up and ready to go far quicker than hull. Hull could not contain this. In contrast Wigan had hull on their backs in the tackle and so controlled the ruck.

This simple difference contributed to the penalty count and thus field position and possession.

It wasn't that Hull weren't inventive with ball in hand, we split them a few times, we just didn't have the ball much.
In contrast Wigan had the ball and were very well drilled in attack. We were shown how to play EFFECTIVELY last night.

Good post and thanks mate.Same to you

right on the money there me thinks, no steady yourself for the barage

last night was the first and last time i'll be going this season.

nothings changed since last year.

its the same predictable one out attack with the occasional suicide short pass.
half the team dont look bothered.
its still got to be the thickest set of players ever assembled.
whenever the opposiiton put more than 2 passes together they score.
and lee radford spends half the time doubled over knackered, the other half hes having a rest on top of a tackled player and getting penalised.

one more whinge... is mark o'meley affraid of tackling?

In a nutshell.

No doubt you'll still be on here moaning though.

Good. Any chance it could be the last time you post on here as well?

Can I just say you Hull fans have done yourselves proud tonight, both at the game and on this board. Very rarely do you see opposition fans giving such well balanced opinions after such a defeat. I said on this board pre-game that our forwards needed to at least match yours for our backs to win the game for us. They more than did that. On the plus side for Hull, I wouldn't neccessarily be too despondent. As many of your posters have pointed out, this Wigan side would take anyone apart with that much possession and you showed your ability to attack when you had ball in hand. It's the discipline that let you down. Correct that and you'll win more than you lose. Someone said earlier that the play the ball was policed at 2 different speeds, but it wasn't. Wigan were simply dominant in the collision and were getting ready to play the ball WAY faster. That's where the pens came from and, in truth, I don't know how a sin-binning wasn't handed out, particularly to Radford. However, your pack has the ability to sort this. They will win the collision against most teams. They just came up against a more enthusiastic, faster and better drilled side last night.

Great support tonight guys, and good luck for the rest of the season.
