I like the AFL idea (although no GP is better still), but can't see it happening cos surely the idea was to align our rules more closely with the NRL? Which is a good thing in general, but paradoxically the Aussies themselves don't like GP much.

And BTW I'm sure most teams always opt to kick off first and hope to force an error in their opponents half.

Depends on which score you look at. In the Sydney Morning Herald sports results page this morning under English Super League was the result at the DW Stadium. WIGAN WARRIORS 14 HULL FC 12. The full league table below showed you P4 W2 L1 Points 2 with Hull on P3 W0 L3 Points 0.

Your league position was 6th so not too bad!

I’ve never seen anything like the amount of slapping and grabbing we’ve been coming up with this season. The thing that really alarms me is that even top defenders like Williams and Leuluai are dropping off tackles left, right and centre.

I joked at the game on Sunday that for years people called for an attacking coach to assist Wane and now we could do with a defensive coach to assist Lam by the looks of things.

It Would be even better if we could chuck in an attacking coach too

Is this true? Can’t be...?

Why can it not? Without the penalty we’d have had decent field position when coming to return the ball. Bullock blew it and gifted them the range, probably why he was throwing his tape at the end.

If we chose for them to kick to us, on average we’d get somewhere near our own 40 then kick to them who again on an average set might take first tackle somewhere near their 30. A few decent carries and they’re about our 30 by last - well within Sneyd’s range.

I think the option was correct but penalty was criminal.

I’d choose to kick to the opposition every time and back yourselves to limit their metres rather then risk taking it from your own line.

I felt for Bullock tbh. He was like a man possessed, tackling everything that moved in that set and got caught in a bad position. Overall he had another very good game and I bet he was gutted.

If you watch that tackle when he gave the penalty away, he made a good tackle and released the player straight away. He even rolled out but to the back of the ruck. He was just unlucky and had another good game.

He’s smashed a couple of players in tackles before that as well. Hopefully it’ll be a real learning experience for him. He’s been superb so far and it’s crazy to think it’s taken until 26 years of age to get this shot.

Agree another good game from him, apart from the penalty and ridiculous dummy he took. But both should be learning experiences so really can’t knock him given he’s been one of our best forwards.

Can’t argue with the penalty but it was annoying. Houghton must have been about three yards behind the ruck and whoever played the ball fired it backwards into him. Could see it happening unfortunately as soon as he got caught under the man.

the problem with wigan chosing to kick off is we don't get the ball anywhere near the try line if we did they wouldn't have been nearly at halfway on the fourth tackle.

Sorry Jukes, I meant to say that Hull ended up having a second set due to the penalty.
