Wigan are very fit and good defensively but 3 repeat sets in their 20 without scoring shows were the problem is.

Well it wasn't a classic try but I'll take it.

A lot closer result than I was expecting. Shame about the 8 point try.

Two weeks in a row we've given everything yet come up agonisingly short.

Credit to Lee Radford for getting the guys to give such an effort backing up from the semi.

If he could only get them to perform at the same level technically we'd be world beaters.

Thought they give there all tonight. Dissapointed but proud of the lads

Better intensity 2nd half, but too many simple errors to win the game. Isa showed what Wigan are about with his chase down of Sneyd for his drop goal attempt.

Can't fault the effort. Nothing between the two sides, surprised how close it was. Last tackle plays poor again, needs sorting and too many errors. Missed Paea's go forward tonight IMO, although Taylor was excellent.

all in all thought they give it a real dig tonight, Masi looked good, green looked ok, but we flagged last 10 min which is understandably, we derserve a break now and hopefully get a few bodies back, still think we can get third,

Tough to take that. Good effort from the lads. Attack was a bit flat again and some sloppy errors. Ultimately the 8pt try was the difference.
Usual display by Wigan.

Fine margins and probably cannot complain about the outcome but -
How does Isa stay on the pitch after the late tackle on Sneyd and then barging into him as he leaves the pitch?
The ball was clearly knocked down from Fash before Wigan’s next score
Wigan surely should have been on a warning and then a man off for the persistent head high tackles.

Wigan are timing their run aren't they? Chat on social media about not looking past them to retain their title.

But surely thats were a good coach earns his money
We have had these same deficiencies season after season
Radford needs to play his strongest team and stop trying to accomodate an additional centre or stop playing players like Green and Hadley because they are leaving.
You cant tell me that Green is not a better front row than Fash or Dean Hadley is not a better second row than Lane.
Stop messing around and Play Griffin from the start in the second row so that Connor can start at right centre and Carlos switch to left centre to bolster the defence on the left.
Radford cant be blamed for giving away cheap possession but his team selection last week and today has cost us wins

thought we relied on the backs for go forward at a crucial time in the game and we came unstuck with errors, saw jon wells point it out how we tried spreading it wide amd came unstuck instead of grinding it down the middle, interestingly we did the same against rovers away, i thought the spell we did do it Green and Masi didnt get much ball at all, either not being assertive enough or houghton not finding them, it needs sorting as we lapse big time when it happens

For the record masi was brilliant the last 20 , i wonder if radders told him to demand the ball more after his first stint

Yeah I struggled to see how Tommy L didn't knock it on. When he's stood facing forward and just bats the ball straight down it's gutting to see it not given as a knock on.

Thaler was a joke tonite, but hull were sloppy and abit dumb too hey ho

Couldn't get there tonight. On TV I thought the same as you initially but the replay showed he clearly knocked it backwards - it was a good call.

another reason why the champions should be the team that tops the league.neither hull or wigan are champion material.to average teams who should be playing for next season now.dispite a short turnaround we should be beating mediocre rubbish like wigan at home.but we cant ever seem to play well at home.

I'm not a lover of lane, but I thought he did ok tonight, I'm not sure people appreciate the knocks a rugby player takes, to back up up and play like that after 5 days is very hard, even the wigan players commented on it, am sure people who say its no problem havnt played the game or seen the players after a hard game, yea we made mistakes so did wigan but it was still a cracking game, cant ask for more

we all have our opinions, Mediocre teams ok, I assume by your posts you've never played the game, or grasp the basics, I know we all see things different but some of your comments well,

saints are the true champs.

I thought the same about the Wigan knock down but regardless of if it was our wasn't a knock on it was a supremely dumb play to try and offload in those circumstances.

It wasn't like Fash was being forced back over his own line or in a position where an offload would create a clear attacking opportunity. It was a poor decision that allowed the ref to give Wigan the benefit of the doubt and ultimately cost us a try and the game.

Why was he a joke?
most of his decisions were correct.
A couple of touch judge interventions which he has to act upon
If we had won he wouldnt have got a mention

Cant fault the effort but our ability to pass the ball is pathetic. Passing out wide and went to every pair of hands, its embarrassing. Core skills just lacking, and so easy to defend against

Wigan are not going to lose many games in the run in and I can't see past a Saints v Wigan GF.

Wigan's defence was exceptional tonight there was a spell when Hull had set after set after set but still Wigan didn't crack. In the end all Hull had to show was a Taylor barge over. Closing down the Sneyd DG attempts showed real determination I haven't seen another team able to do that.

Half of Wigan's pack were teenagers but goodness they are tough and they are going to be some team next year. You didn't see it tonight but they can also play some brilliant attacking rugby.

Hull were good opponents but I think 3rd is Wigan's for the taking now.

Beat ourselves tonight...again

Wigan were there for the taking tonight, even after the short turnaround. Too many dropped balls in the opposition half or halfway and a daft offload on our own 10

Credit wigans' defence, it was fantastic, but other than that, like us, average!
