Discuss Wigan Warriors v Hull FC here.

[Harry Stottle]

Tight one this, but Wigan have the edge for me.

10 point win for Wigan.

[Davo5]

Wigan’s forwards struggle to make yardage early in games,Hull could take advantage and edge a close game.

[Exiled Wiganer]

I was hoping that Manfredi might get a run out, but it looks as if we will go with the same as last week. Should be a great game, if we are within 6 (or ahead) with 60 minutes gone, we will be fine. Look out again for another showing for the 7 second row project...

Heart says Hull, head says Wigan will have too much in the tank again and will just squeeze it

[Old Frightful]

Early season Hull FC optimism to have evaporated by arf tarm.

Pies 22 Ullefsee 14.

[Ramon Rojo]

Probably Wigan but wouldn't be surprised if Hull did the business.

Should be an excellent encounter.

Careful Ramon, that fence is full of splinters

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Tricky one - I'll say Wigan by 4 as they're the home side but it could go either way.

[Saint Toppy]

Game of the round for me. Biggest test for Hull so far to see whether they'll be also-rans flattering to deceive or genuine title contenders.

I think the pies will sneak it

[yipyee]

Game of the week, Hull to win by 14, Wiganhave been poor and winning, Hull to outclass Wigan outwide

I'm expecting Wigan to cover the 6 point handicap too but very much looking forward to seeing how Hull go against them.

[MZH]

Now that I've seen Griffin and Sneyd in the team I'm more confident. I think we can match and possibly beat Wigan in the middle, it just depends on what both sides can do in the attacking part of the field. Connor needs a big game.

[Man of Kent]

Tackle complete?

[MZH]

That's a horrible mistake from Fonua when we have already been under the pump.

And quickly punished by Hastings, with the first try of the night.

[MZH]

I was just thinking we had done really well to soak up Wigan's early pressure and then we make an error like that.

Does this cover it?

Sliding tackle 5. If a tackled player, because of his momentum slides along the ground, the tackle is deemed to have been effected where his slide ends. (See Section 6, 3(c).)

[MZH]

Wigan's defence is unbelievable strong and aggressive so far. Surely they can't maintain that intensity. We just need to hang in there for a while. Get a foothold.

[DavidM]

Nice finish 

[JohnM]

Nice try! 

[Davo5]

Plenty going on in the ruck

[MZH]

I know people will complain about that knock on decision, but for me that right. French was holding the ball in a bad position, Tuimavave doesn't have to carefully remove his arm so as not to dislodge it.

Great vision from Connor and a smart finish from Swift.

18/18 from the tee for Sneyd this season.

[Damien]

Terrible positioning by Bibby.

Agreed . Needs to be more responsibility on the ball carrier in those situations
