Was looking forward to this so much , been very disappointing

Done well to keep in it, given the conditions and lack of interchanges.
Phil Clarke is an idiot though. God forbid he should give us any credit for hanging in.

Full strength I'd have fancied our chances in this.

54ite

That's a try and the ball game.
Too many injuries and too many errors.
Houghton was the key one, ptb has been too slow since he went off.

We haven't been beat though.

No major drama though, it's round 2 and it's a long, long season.

They haven't got out of first gear very comfortable

I would love to knock the fook out of Joel Tompkins.
Just saying.

What a let down

I wouldn't , been really poor this second half , injuries ain't made us just drop the ball . Hoping for a mass brawl now to living it up

Exactly. It's a disappointing loss after the long build up to the game and the injuries are a concern. You have to admire Hull's determination today. Some real effort especially from Manu, Mini, Hadley. Disappointed with the props though and Sneyd has offered little.

Indirectly, they do. Players are more fatigued. Players are playing out of position. The full game plan goes out the window.
That been said, some of the dropped ball has been criminal. But Wigan have dropped their fair share too.

Sika Manu's been immense today.

Taylors tried, Watts invisible, Bowden very little, Paea crap with too many dropped balls. Only forwards deserving credit are Sika and Hadley
