Another typical hull display. Slow ptb, slow line speed, poor defence, predominantly up the middle, looking clueless in attack and allowing off loads for fun.
Wigan unfortunately are worth their lead.

Lineham is going, westerman as been consistently poor for 4 seasons, with a decent bit of form for about a 3rd of last season, overated rubbish, maybe see his potential next season ,

I assume you're talking about Abdull? I can't say that's jumped out at me tbh. He's struggled no more in defence than any of the others.

Ohhh the pressures definitely off, great! Cant wait for the next 7 games. So predicatable its not even funny. I seriously hope they prove me wrong second half

Abdull and Logan. Not so much about struggling in defence (although they have a bit) as keeping them suppressed.

Think Houghton may finally be showing the effects of playing 80 minutes every week. With an injury.

We really need a second hooker to spell him.

well, i was wrong about putting up a fight and making them work for the win

God I hate wigan

this game is a text book example of why we need an attacking coach. more than enough possession in the right areas of the field and virtually nothing to show for it

If Wigan are crap away from home I'd hate to see their home form.

Bloody good job we're safe IMO. Half a dozen players out, middle 8s could have been a disaster.

Yep it seems his distribution has reached a new low.

Wigan have been very good, but the way we've played gives the impression that last week was our Grand Final, which is a shame. I hoped we'd have more ambition than that, even if we haven't neccessarily got the ability to match it.

Took 50 minutes for the lads to look like they're interested.

Well at least I gave Mr Murdock £6.99 to watch this crap rather than paying Adam Pearson to keep employing Radford.

Typical lacklustre display after a cup final

I honestly would of prefered the middle 8s, what the next 7 games are going to do for the fans motivation for next season could be damaging. At least the middle 8s wed of been competive and in my opinion pretty safe

Phil Clark has just said that we have got 30mins to show that we can be competitive. He'll be lucky we've been waiting most of the last two seasons.

At least the pressures off, nothing to worry about, plan for 2016

Embarrassing defence.

No dead rubbers the RFL said in this new structure, well looks like all of our super 8 fixtures will be dead rubbers because we've no chance of doing anything in the 8s.

Not going to jump on Radford's back, there are key players missing.

But, glaringly obvious that we are a million miles away from the top 4 in terms of attacking nowse.

All the commentators have pointed it out.

If next season isn't to end in the same bang average way as this one then something needs to change.

In the sporting context, pressures of wigan now

There are literally no benefits of playing in the middle eights.

If you want to improve you need to be playing against good sides. You play a good team every week in the super 8s. If Radford and the coaches are smart about it (another argument entirely) we will learn a lot. Sticking 50 past Sheffield or Fax doesn't help anyone. Not to mention the risk of relegation and the lower income.

Dont think they expected the 8th place team to be so e to be fair

some of the basics are just not there - the passing is shocking, especially from dummy half
