40 nil to wigan, 1st bit sloppy and rusty but much much better 2nd half some really good tries scored. Very promising, looking forward to the season now, good rugby fix been a while
Just a few concentration lapses with the final pass let us down in that first half. I thought they fixed that up well in the second half and the forwards were too powerful for them. Fingers crossed there are no injury issues and we can look ahead to Cas.
Was a little concerned at half time as Wigan were poor in a few areas - slack contact, poor discipline and breakdowns in attacking structures. Bevan French looked particularly sluggish (dare I say maybe a tad overweight?). We'll have to be careful with the new ruck interpretations as we racked up the set restarts.
But a very promising second half - having eight subs clearly benefitted Wigan as they have far superior squad depth to Hull. Mago, Leeming and Field were the standouts to me. Douglas looked lively on the wing. Thought Hull fell away badly. Fingers crossed the knock to Walters isn't anything serious.

I thought the same in that French looked a little 'chunkier' than normal. I'm just putting it down to pre season though as all players put on weight but then lose it once they gain match fitness.

He’s come back before looking heavier but seems to lose it quickly when the game starts. They might not be too fussed about him being a bit heavier this season mind, with him defending in the line.

I thought we were too big, strong, fast and skilful compared with Hull. We were definitely fitter, a number of the Hull lads looked like they were carrying a fair bit of timber whereas our lads looked lean and primed.Our pre-season is coming along nicely, hopefully the rough edges can be knocked off at Castleford and we can go into the WCC in good form.
I couldn’t decide if it was a head injury or a shoulder knock. Given that he stumbled out of the tackle, and went back into the defensive line immediately, I wouldn’t think it was significant.
