He hasn't said anything that bad has he really? He is just trying to heap pressure on us as we aren't used to being favourites and don't know how we will cope when we are many peoples tips now.

We seemed to cope with it pretty well on Saturday though in what was (for me at least) our biggest game of the season against a top side. Like most Hull fans I am naturally pessimistic and have spent the last few weeks expecting it to all come crashing down but Saturday really seemed to be a watershed due to how we controlled the such a pressure game.

Wigan are still an excellent side though and it is a 50/50 game despite our form and what anyone else says. If they do turn us over there is no shame and it will be because they have outplayed us not because Shaun Wane, that famous and formidable purveyor of psychological warfare, has done us with mind games.
