Cheers Pal and enjoy yourselves next week.

Not a Spurs fan but that stadium looks very impressive so just a tad jealous.

Oh and can we have Bevan French next season please?

Look mate you get a feel for the game if your actually at the match, l listened to the game, while it was a great win against a nearly first choice Wigan side, the nitty gritty, the real deal, you can’t get of the radio, and I couldn’t honestly say who was the best or worst players, because I didn’t see, but one thing I know, is celebrate the result without overanalysing who did or didn’t do, you have to enjoy the victory or what really is the point. This is said without animosity.

Just watching the highlights and on Wigan's last try Reynolds does a late shot on a Wigan player wouldn't be surprised if he cops a ban for it

Not sure it’s late as he seemed to already be committed to the tackle before the Wigan released the ball and not sure there was much of an option to pull out the tackle.

leave it mate some will be in a bad mood till we lose next. Great game connor didnt do bad considering he cant play against top teams, Evans getting better every game.Gale and Reynolds did ok IMO.Infact all the lads dug into day, Great win and hope injuries are not to bad COYH

Really hope Ligi isn’t finished for the season.

Happy with that, most of all with Connor producing the goods against an actual descent opponent. Gale needs to work on the goal kicking.

I wasn't going to post originally as I agreed with most of the sentiment on here and I've thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon of rugby.
A loss for Rovers coupled with an excellent victory for ourselves, Saturday's don't come much better then that but reading your posts, seriously where do you 2 get off?


I've read through the thread and no one has been negative or would appear upset at our win.

Hull 2524 calls out the 'usual suspects' for being missing because we've won and COYU then has a pop at Bonaire for not being happy.

Neither of which appear true, yet you 2 become divisive and then form a little alliance to belittle said poster.

It's attitudes like yours that detract people from posting, as if an opinion differs from the clique, they are rounded on and ridiculed, it's almost bullying in it's form.

Why can't you just enjoy the excellent win and performance we've witnessed and move on without your negativity around certain posters?

I suppose hypothetically you can give yourselves pats on the back for what you've done but I'd rather you stick to topic and discuss the match rather than individual posters.

PCL injury for Ligi BH said on Humberside.

Found this online.

[iA grade 1 sprain typically takes 10 days to heal completely while a grade 2 sprain takes about 3 weeks. Depending on the severity, an athlete can return to sport from anywhere 2-8 weeks after the injury[/i

Here's hoping he isn't out too long, form prop in SL for me.

Hope you're right mate just felt the way the Wigan player stayed down the committee may have a closer look at it.
Really hope ligi isn't seriously injured think it showed again today that him and Evans are our best starting props

Definitely been in good form of late and was excellent again yesterday.

Hope it's positive news for him and the team.

Best win and arguably best performance of the season so far yesterday. Brilliant effort from 1-17 against a very capable Wigan side. I am convinced we would have blown that game when pegged back to 18-18 in the second half a couple years back. But there is a real grit to grind out results this year particularly at home. Fingers crossed the injuries to Sao/Lane/Carlos are not serious

Some strong stats yesterday.

Five assists for Connor meaning he has 22 for the season. Lolohea is the only other player in the league with more than 14.

138 metres and 18 carries for Swift, 26 tackles ans 81 from Manu Ma'u.

Another half a dozen tackle misses from Reynolds although he did make six tackle busts and a couple of clean breaks.

Swift was terrific yesterday again, works so hard as does McIntosh.

Great performance by everyone , and best home game I’ve seen for a while . Credit to hodgson for picking the right side and used his bench right . At least it’s quietened the hookem to start for a while hopefully.

Really enjoyed yesterdays game all players put in a great shift and are developing under Hodgeson. Showed a lot of grit to stay in the game and go on to win when Wigan got to 18-18. Thought Wigan got the better of the 50/50s particularly relating to off sides but generally decent efffort from ref resulting in a great game to watch with Hull fully deserving the win.
Wigan deserve a massive amount of credit for turning up and putting on that peformance with cup final next week. Never been a Wigan fan particularly when Wane was coach but Peet has turned them into an attractive side to watch and hope they win next week,

Just in general one of the best props in the league. Top 5 definitely, possibly top 3. Satae gets all the plaudits from people because he comes up with those big barnstorming runs that are entertaining to watch, but for me Ligi is our best prop.

I've enjoyed watching Wigan this year. Much better attacking rugby than they had under Lam and they can score from anywhere on the pitch. Exciting team to watch.

Here's another can't resist a toxic swipe at other posters..........

Keyboard warriors everywhere

I'd still be happy if Hookem got given a shot in one of the next few games, regardless of how Gale/Reynolds are playing. There's nothing wrong with wanting to see a young lad make his debut and it should be something every fan is excited to see.

Nothing like contradicting yourself … keyboard warrior. Wow , toxic ! You need to get out more . But since yesterday , not seen one post regarding hookem or questioning hodgsons future , because he doesn’t play young kids .

WW doesn't get it, it's all about long term, he called me boring, but couldn't wait to post on here about Hookem at the first opportunity rather than talking about a good win.

I thought the halfbacks were OK, probably better but with better halfbacks game would have been over at HT, halfbacks also missed 11 tackles. Reynolds was also lucky with his try, very close to the line, just put the ball down, he has done that before.

Top win, big efforts from the backs and forwards and class by Connor.

I was only able to see the highlights on You Tube
That stand off was amazing setting up all those tries
the full back was really slow or not there for Wigans last 2 tries

Good post and couldn’t have put it better myself.
As you say it’s becoming a forum that unless you have an opinion that’s always positive you are derided by certain posters.
I’m happy with the win and the style we played going forward however there were still a number of not so good things that we should be fixing up which are basic things.
I’ve not read anybody being overly negative at all only people posting their thoughts/opinions backed up with reasoning. Yet there are certain posters feel the need to try and be smart by simply making comment about other posters or single out certain ones rather than add their own opinions.

This forum used to a decent where you could have good discussion whatever opinion.

Back on the game I thought Swift and McIntosh were excellent and Mau looks like a different player this season. Thiught the forwards were very good and Evans certainly getting better each game. Taylor looking like he’s still to get back in to things as to be expected after so long out but still decent stints from him. As for the half’s still think we need a lot more from them both thought Reynolds was the better of the two today. I’d like to see us try and get more repeat sets to keep pressure on sides as we rarely put little grabbers in to the touch/goal area when on the last in the oppositions 10/20.

Still work to be done but decent win, hope the injuries aren’t too serious especially Sao whose been great all season.

Got out yesterday thank you, enjoyed a nice guiness while watching us beat Wigan. As people have said nothing wrong with wanting to see a young home grown talent make his debut, when the half backs arnt really firing. Yes toxic as your reactions to reasonable posts are hilariously unnecessary

Agree, the kicking could improve. Is it me or is Connor in game kicking alot better than Gale and Reynolds? The kick in the final 5 mins from Connor that Wigan fumbled into touch a prime example.

Hopefully Sao, s injury is just a strain as a tear can take 6 months at least to heal.

I think the solution to the forum users who just come on to butch about others is to put them all on ignore, and let the adults discuss the rugby in an adult fashion, windy wingers shortly going on ignore added to the list.
