The Hull pack seems to have no energy in the second half. Virtually no go forward, and as I type that Jamie Shaul scores an absolute blinder.

Was a crackin' finish by Shaul

Followed by a great finish from Talanoa. Cue the Wigan walk.

I wonder if the back tracking over Lee Radford is going to reach a crescendo on the Hull board ?
After they wanted him out for the best part of 2 years..

Josh charnley is wigans first official injury this year

Game changer, for me: at 16-18 Wigan were on top but in two sets in a row Matty Smith kicked the ball out for a scrum deep in Hull's half. All the crowd clapped, all Smith's team mates slapped him on the back and rubbed his head, the commentators said "brilliant kick"...but what it did was give Hull two little rests in two minutes and slowed the momentum of Wigan's game down. Hull got a second wind from that, kicked on and won.

Everyone still thinks kicking the ball out for a scrum deep in the opposition half is a good kick though, when it's probably worse than kicking it out at the back for a 20m restart as teams actually get a rest and can regroup.

Eddie sounds deflated! When's Sam Tomkins due to return? Loved his turnstile impression for that last Hull try.

To be fair, it can work both ways really. We've praised Gidley enough for doing it

Depends on circumstances, wasting time or trying to catch a breather it's great, if you have a good structured defence, it's also a good tactic.

Loved wane name dropping us, we're in his head, not hard granted

Hate it when Wells calls lines that players run, "honest"

Don't think the kicks were the wrong option tbh.
Arguably a hug kick could have yielded more but it's a close call.

Missed it. What was the gist?

I wish we were a worry to him but I understand why we are not and won't be.

The way Wigan are playing & also that most of their remaining games are now away. It is going to be difficult for them to get into the top 4.

Catalans ' giants, not a great start to this game

Giants now 8-0 up.

It would be nice if Huddersfield win this.

i think Hull could well be the real deal this year.

They have been very impressive apart from a couple of games near the start of the season, especially the Widnes hammering. Catalans, hull and us have easily played the best rugby so far this season. Fair play to Widnes at the start of the season and wakefields recent resurgence they have both played some very good rugby.

I though the top 4 was set a few weeks ago, I have no idea what has happened to Wigan, I mean I could understand if they had a lot of injuries or something, strange that nobody has mentioned anything like that as a possible reason for them losing a few games recently. Saints haven't been anywhere near good enough this season to be 2 points behind the top 3, but they just aren't going to go away are they.

i dont give cas much chance against Wigan tonight..... they wont be able to bully them like they did us... Wigan by 20+

i was trying to curse wigan with my recent betting luck there btw

Good game so far this

What a pass!

Who was that Wigan player going into the tackle feet-first....
