Quote ="PAUL M"No it was because we lost the collision, they were getting up too fast, we tried to slow them down and got pinged for it time and time again.'"
would have to agree with that. Wigan went straight to knees on nearly every collision, but were up and ready to go far quicker than hull. Hull could not contain this. In contrast Wigan had hull on their backs in the tackle and so controlled the ruck.
This simple difference contributed to the penalty count and thus field position and possession.
It wasn't that Hull weren't inventive with ball in hand, we split them a few times, we just didn't have the ball much.
In contrast Wigan had the ball and were very well drilled in attack. We were shown how to play EFFECTIVELY last night.
