What I couldn't understand was why you kept playing the inside pass running back into Wigans middle. Last year I thought your danger came from your centres and second rower(Newton, Galea) running wide at pace.
I was asking myself that all night, there was no getting through that way yet we kept trying the same moves.

IMO he is one of the worst ball handlers at the club.
We'd better hope the ground hardens up soon and the sun shines so our forwards can attempt to run round them because we sure as hell aint gonna go through them. Woefully light up front.
ps why wernt we allowed to play the full width of the pitch like wigan. Totally unfair.
so anyway how are the pride of hull feeling today ?? gotta say guys didnt look good on TV I am afraid, Vella must have thought he was the only forward in a rover jersey ... Note to Hudge ..... Must buy forwards ( even over the hill journeymen will do )

Super. You do know your avatar can be read two ways, don't you?

Early days in the season so the result means nothing in the grand scheme of things. However i think just about everyone but the most blinkered will agree you are lacking up front. By the way Mild Rover, i can only read it one way or did you mean interpret (SP)

We never looked like scoring when we had the ball, very basic, boring rugby which can sometimes be effective, however with a poor kicking game and little ground gained by our forwards this was never going to work. Very little imagination which was disappointing as it was clear we were never going to beat them in the middle (clints break the exception) and their pack won the tackle or 'wrestle', never allowing us a quick play the ball.
To be fair, wigan played well and didnt make that many errors in costly positions, most of our sets were started deep in our own half where we struggled to get out from. Their attack was good and they looked dangerous whenever it went wide, where there was some shocking reads and generally poor defending from our boys.
I think we looked flat in everything we did, the forwards not running with real intent and the passing and play the ball extremely slow. We never lifted the intensity or did anything different, even when we were well behind on the scoreboard, although i dont want to take anything away from wigan who were very good.
Hope briscoe recovers asap and apparently cooke has done his wrist again?

'Interpret' is the second synonym for 'read' on MS Word's thesaurus. 'Read' is the third for 'interpret'. I checked
