It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

Chuffin ell! Why kick on the first tackle?!

It gives his teammates fewer opportunities to feck up?

Wow, this is some lazy attack from FC. 

Ese'ese gets in, but bloody hell - they really need to watch for offloads.

[Futtocks]

Ese'ese gets the try. One of Hull's best in the recent fallow years.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

C'mon Hull!! We're off the mark!!

Well it did. Clearly a masterful plan, thinking 5 steps ahead.

[Futtocks]

That's a big reality check for Wigan, if they were getting cocky.

[EagleEyePie]

Good solid run to get over the line, but that was some sloppy defending from Dupree.

[The Blues Ox]

Widnes 16 10 up against Wire, game link in that thread.

I really wish we would penalise roll balls like they have started to do in the NRL this year.

It is awful to watch at times for some of these players.

The camera is jittery, but why does the quality of that camera look better than the one in this Wigan-Hull match

Wigan v Hull FC is SD, and there's no reason why it should be. 

Maybe they're hoping nobody will notice.

[Barca Mum]

Wish they would shut off the ref mic not adding to the game

I will manage up to half time, but I have basically had enough of the stop start officiating in this game.

How has the officiating been stop start in this game?

[Futtocks]

Someone on BlueSky pointed out that the BBC logo (top left) looks like it is overlaid on another logo with a sort of ghosting effect.

When did Wigan get a drop goal?!

It hasn't been any more so than an average game.

Scoreboard thinks the penalty Wigan kicked was worth only 1 point rather than 2.

[MZH]

Dross from Hull. The game a few weeks ago I thought we played ok and Wigan were just too good. Today we've been woeful.

It's overlaid the white BBC logo from what I can see.

Yeah the scoreboard goes down and you can see the original white one.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Absolute rubbish.

Mrs. Goose wants to watch something else and I think I'll be letting her...

44 minutes on the BBC clock.

This is the last 16 right?

The production value is worse than the games the BBC shows on their rd 1 between two amateurs.

Kendall back to his pedantic best, I am sure he thinks people come to watch him, there is loads he could have played on with, the last game I watched on this ground was officiated by Liam Moore and he let play go on and it was enjoyable totally opposite to this performance by Kendall.
