Hull look very impressive. Big strong team ... I think the Wigan/Leeds/Saints dominance is going to be tested this year.

As I always seem to be these days, I was massively disappointed with Catalans' showing. Yes, Hull look like a big, strong, rumbustious outfit but Catalans, with that squad, and particularly at home should be much, much better.

Alas, they seem to have the Warrington 2014/2015 disease - last tackle plays and general direction in attack in the opposition 20 that couldn't find a gap in a tramps vest. Carney is on holiday and Myler is still mute of voice, clumsy of foot and still wearing the potential tag like a perennial millstone.

Bit harsh. Admittedly, our 4 year-old, Ollie, can be a bit of a sod at times, and would have your fingers off in the blink of an eye, but he never attacks my daughter, and lets you stroke him under his chin, IF he's in a good mood.

Back on thread, Hull looked good and scored some cracking tries, and could/should've had a few more, but Catalans were pathetic. When I saw them in the early stages of the game, I thought "they're flipping HUGE, they'll destroy some teams this season". However, on the evidence of that second half "display", Swinton would've been a match for them. Appalling. Can they play any worse?

Hopefully, Hull aren't on our radar, any time soon. They'll remain competitive for a number of weeks, but then probably revert to type.....a few injuries, and then back to midtable mediocrity. They have form for this, since their appearance in the mid 2000's GF. Oh, and their Billy Big Biscuits, Hard Men supporters will more than likely behave like a bunch of Neanderthals at away grounds, and a few days later, corroborate their stories, and blame it on Hull City fans. They have form for that, too.

Can't help but agree with the bulk of that post. As much as I'd like to like FC, I just can't. I imagine how some of their fans are acting now is how some of ours have acted in the past, giving us the "always your year" tag, but in all honesty, I've seen FC fans do it waaayyy more in years gone by, and it'll only get worse until they inevitably revert to type around Easter.

We'll see. There hasn't been a Grand Final without one of those teams and not that many without two of them!

From the Cats v Hull game Rd


I hate to say I told you so, but........

Hull did remain competitive for the next two rounds, then BOOM. Hull look pathetic, tonight, and have made Widnes seem like the Brisbane side of the 90's. Just a matter of time before they take their usual position of 7th, and amble through the season, despite breaking the bank on "high profile" players.

Any odds on Radford being next coach to go.

Dnno about him going, he didn't half look like a wane wannabe in that jumper

Talking of Wane i dont see Leeds beating his lot tonight.

Anyone else feeling absolutely nauseated listening to Phil Clarke tonight?

Now they have an amazing defence... BUT, the televised games ive seen of this current wigan side are the dullest i think ive ever seen.

i may have to turn this off.

Aye back to talking his usual bowlocks, anyway cant work it out is it leeds defence is awesome or is wigans attack is poor.

Leeds are really poor this season

Leeds have absolutely no creativity and Hall and Hardaker are seriously out of form.

no direction, no leadership... they remind me a bit of us last season.

funny thing is that know it all leeds fan was on here last season laughing at our signing of gidley saying 'im so glad we didnt sign him'

i dont think they will be top 4

Phil Clarke is sickening to listen to when Wigan are playing!

Gerrimoff!

And here comes the commentary, oh Leeds have lost stars, 3 of which retired blah blah blah

Leeds are lucky to have 2 points. There was NO WAY they were going to lose that game last week, against Hudds. They've been "sat on their aris" by Wigan, tonight. Rest assured, stand by for some "debatable" refereeing performances when Leeds are involved in the next few weeks, to ensure they get to the upper end of the table.

At around 60 minutes, Hemmings was literally praying that Cats will beat us, tomorrow.
So much, he mentioned it twice

Tell you what, the women of Wigan take some beating!

They are seriously missing McGuire

It looks like they have

Phil Clark just talks pish. He must be on the Wigan payroll

He thinks he's on Wigan TV!
