Smithies very late there.

Surprised by that; very out of character!

dave woods desperately trying to big up the game - when did sl become so bad and why?

I think that is right.  Wigan are going out of their way to lose the game

[graveyard johnny]

"they are keeping it alive! they are keeping it alive!" = one ###### pass

[Futtocks]

Manfredi on a break - I'd almost forgotten what that looked like.

Lovely bit of play from Bateman. Good defence from Hull both to stop the break and to regroup quickly on the next tackle.

[graveyard johnny]

no doubt another game that is utter sheet will be described as an "arm wrestle"

[Futtocks]

Harry Smith's grubbers are not working well today.

[Futtocks]

That's a huge howler from French.

[Futtocks]

Satae's effort sent upstairs as a try. VR says... YES.

[graveyard johnny]

and thats why bevan french doesnt play for parramatta and clint gutherson does

[DavidM]

Was it down 

[Davo5]

Game over,well deserved win for Hull.

[Man of Kent]

He doesn’t look very interested a lot of the time.

[Rupert Prince]

Yes.  Just poor performance all round from Wigan.  

[Cheshire Setter]

For the first couple of games of the season Wigan and Saints looked separated from those below them in terms of class. These last few weeks have shown there’s really not much in it for the top six.

[DavidM]

Big error from French 

[Futtocks]

16:4 with 15 minutes to go.

Below the knee is a penalty above is ok as far as the rule is concerned. Personally I felt they were both a yellow but that’s what the ref/vr s gone off. 

Yes, I think you are probably right. But I agree that they were both yellow as the end result of both tackles was the same.

Late hit with a shoulder charge and Smithies is still on the field.

One rule for Wigan...

To be fair it was a penalty but there was nothing in it. 

[DavidM]

Hardaker always has his feet on the wrong legs 

[Futtocks]

Another disastrous restart from Hardaker.

[Spidey]

Will be a popular win this

[DavidM]

Perfect for a DG set up there
