Couldn't get there tonight. On TV I thought the same as you initially but the replay showed he clearly knocked it backwards - it was a good call.
another reason why the champions should be the team that tops the league.neither hull or wigan are champion material.to average teams who should be playing for next season now.dispite a short turnaround we should be beating mediocre rubbish like wigan at home.but we cant ever seem to play well at home.
I'm not a lover of lane, but I thought he did ok tonight, I'm not sure people appreciate the knocks a rugby player takes, to back up up and play like that after 5 days is very hard, even the wigan players commented on it, am sure people who say its no problem havnt played the game or seen the players after a hard game, yea we made mistakes so did wigan but it was still a cracking game, cant ask for more

we all have our opinions, Mediocre teams ok, I assume by your posts you've never played the game, or grasp the basics, I know we all see things different but some of your comments well,

The ball was clearly knocked down from Fash before Wigan’s next score Wigan surely should have been on a warning and then a man off for the persistent head high tackles.
I thought the same about the Wigan knock down but regardless of if it was our wasn't a knock on it was a supremely dumb play to try and offload in those circumstances.
It wasn't like Fash was being forced back over his own line or in a position where an offload would create a clear attacking opportunity. It was a poor decision that allowed the ref to give Wigan the benefit of the doubt and ultimately cost us a try and the game.

Why was he a joke? most of his decisions were correct. A couple of touch judge interventions which he has to act upon If we had won he wouldnt have got a mention
Cant fault the effort but our ability to pass the ball is pathetic. Passing out wide and went to every pair of hands, its embarrassing. Core skills just lacking, and so easy to defend against

Wigan are not going to lose many games in the run in and I can't see past a Saints v Wigan GF.
Wigan's defence was exceptional tonight there was a spell when Hull had set after set after set but still Wigan didn't crack. In the end all Hull had to show was a Taylor barge over. Closing down the Sneyd DG attempts showed real determination I haven't seen another team able to do that.
Half of Wigan's pack were teenagers but goodness they are tough and they are going to be some team next year. You didn't see it tonight but they can also play some brilliant attacking rugby.
Hull were good opponents but I think 3rd is Wigan's for the taking now.
Wigan were there for the taking tonight, even after the short turnaround. Too many dropped balls in the opposition half or halfway and a daft offload on our own 10
Credit wigans' defence, it was fantastic, but other than that, like us, average!
