Lordy.
Terrible attitude tonight - we were so not up for the game. Perhaps after Agar saying we'd "earned the right" to be in a match to go top. Bollox.
First half discipline shocking - a ridiculous amount of penalties and a lot of them late in sets too, Radford the main offender.
Tansey had a nightmare in parts. Failing to find touch with that penalty near HT was inexcusable.
Backs exposed in defence too.
Richard Horne looked good, Houghton made an impact and O'Meley had a good 2nd spell. A good comedy try by Long as well.
But in short, flattered by the scoreline and miles off Wigan's standard. They are so well organised - in a different league.

A lot of of work to do then

Thanks Mrs B

blah blah blah

But would you sack Agar because of it?

what for morgan get real!!!!!

Is that 3 kicks for touch that Tansey's missed this season ?.

Oh poo

Think it was Horne who missed the 2nd one tonight b

Just asking a question...When is Long back?....

I think the Hull fans there tonight were asking themselves the same question too.

Get a grip for crying out loud, we were not that poor but Wigan were awesome and the speed they played at was incredible. We were always going to find it tough tonight, this is the first time the Wigan players have had to show McGuire they have what it takes to move on following a defeat, they beat us in the tackle for 95% of the game which led to numerous penalties, most of which led to tries or repeat sets.

Yes we weren't at our best but it will take a bloody good side to beat Wigan on that form.

I thought Hull's discipline was very poor. Very slow around the ruck and loads of niggling at the PTB, however Alibert didn't control things brilliantly. He should have called both captains as we were guilty of a bit of messing about too, but he allowed it to carry on.

On a postive note, I thought Horne, Long and Fitzgibbon looked good and your following was very good for a Friday night.

OP a bit harsh I think. We were off our game in the defensive intensity stakes for sure and we did make some crucial errors. Had we scored from the break down the right and had Tansey found touch the HT score would have been 18-12. Ifs and buts but we are talking fine margins. Wigan were excellent and given their dominance of the possession I would expect them to be dangerous. The rucks appeared to be policed at two different speeds which didn't help us at all either. Agree Radford was pretty average but I also thought Berro looked slow and Cusack was a bit laboured. ATEOTD no team can withstand possession dominance of that kind. We played the top of the league away where we rarely win anyway and shipped a few but kept on playing to the end. When we had some possession towards the end of the game as Alibert rolled out the penalty evening up phase we looked reasonably dangerous. Not good but no shambles IMO.

The ruck was policed at two different speeds. Hull received one or two penalties for holding down maximum. Wigan were very good with ball in hand and for 60 minutes that is more or less what they had.
