With the exception of their sole try, it felt effortless to me. Last week, we clearly hadn't clicked in properly, but it was back to a smoothly oiled machine last night. Hull offered no real threat at all. It just became a case of when would we score next. Very strange. I was expecting a tough tussle, but back in the golden age, I was often guilty of underestimating us and hugely overestimating our opponents.

Why is it, that whoever we play, wherever we play, whenever it's played, the opposition fans rock up with the old 'well you should win because we have so and so injured or suspended' Is it just Wigan that rolls their sleeves up and gets on with it without making excuses for a potential loss? Maybe that is the difference in attitudes that separates the winners from losers.

Injuries don't affect your team as much. Other clubs, (who don't have dynasties named after them,) see the difference it makes when you lose 4 players from game 1 to game 2.

Got to admit, I felt sorry for Hull last night with their injury issues going in and then during the game. It feels like they've not had a break (well, literally, they've probably had a few of those) on that front for years now and even when they had a (rare) hugely positive night last week in Perpignan, it came at a massive cost.
