| Wigan's wrestle only seems to bad because every other team is so terrible at doing it.
In tonight's game both sides will be making a effort to make a 2 up top and a 3rd man finishing the tackle however Wigan are so well drilled they manage to pull it off a lot more than everyone else.
I would rather watch Wigan play now than how it used to be 3/4 season ago where the PTB was so quick sides just used to use acting half runs and good tackle technique wasn't rewarded.

| First and foremost Wigan were the better team by far last night, but that,s twice within a week that their dubious tackling technique (Solomona/Moa)has been on display, something T.Smith commented on post match last week.

| Quote P-J="P-J"Really? Getting a team organised in defence and having them run scripted offensive plays is going to kill the game?
It's a damn sight better to watch than half of the poop this league puts out on a weekly basis, yourselves included.'"
Salary Cap was brought in to stop Wigans dominance! If we win the league this year they are going to make it tick and pass!!
Amazes me how fans really believe that only Wigan have 3 in the tackle, only Wigan tackle round the legs but at the same time have players who only tackle round the head!!
Hull have run us close both times this season, both times by coming out and being strong and physical. But yet rolled over and died against Leeds twice in 2 weeks. If Hull played with the intensity and heart shown last night maybe they wouldnt be sat in 8th looking over their shoulder!
On a side note that Gleeson as proved a quality signing!!

Wigan just do what the Storm do, wrestle teams to death. Almost every tackle they could be penalised but referee's are weak.

| I carried out a study, and the results shown that Wigan on average get 3.7 seconds longer than any other team in Sl to hold down before conceding a penalty, its outrageous.
But what can you do.

Don't worry, we know they cheat so anything they win is meaningless

| Hull were the authors of their own downfall last night.
A poor floated pass that Richards picked off to go 90 mtrs.
Turner only yards off his own try line passing the ball to no one but Finch.
Phelps going to ground when facing a bouncing ball. That's why he's playing for Hull FC and not Wigan!
That's 16 points through Hull FC's mistakes.
As if there's anything wrong with three man tackles.
The Roos in 1982 were the first to exploit this type of defence when they really showed us how to play Rugby League. Here in England we still haven't caught up yet.
Coley's tackle on Solomona was not thrird man in but second.
Following that game it was two Wire players who had warnings from the RFL discip about their tackling technique.
Wigan showed why they are topping the league at the moment because they can score tries from close range as well as long distance which most other teams can't!

If you put same energy into following your team as you do obsessing about Wigan you might enjoy rugby a bit more!!
