Lam previews Hull FC

[Caboosegg]

Seemed likea bigger crowd to me although the hull following was p%%s poor.......really liked the fan zone though(cheers josie)...... it feels good putting all my money into the OFFICIAL one team in wigan

Crowd look better but i presume they always include season tickets. West stand was a bit empty... hulls following wasn't great, i understand why thursday gets low crowds but 3pm on a sunday VS hull should have been a 14k game.

Im getting more impressed with Wigans own tv, means we get good quality replays and makes everything look much more professional.

Good game, good effort by a young pack vs a very experienced hull pack (regardless of who was out).

One annoying thing about hull games though is the amount of cheating they do when on the back foot.

I was a first time visitor to the fan zone too today,. was just in time for a pint just before the game, and went in for one afterwards. Great effort by the club. That, and the new big screen, have really added to match days.

Agree the crowd was very poor, especially as Hull always bring a few (not so many this time as in the past, though).

So was Burgess(Joe) injured? I thought it was an odd decison to include Dom after 20 mins play in last year ish

Overall, I was pleased with our performance. Apart from their tries, the one thing that concerned me was the number of offloads they got away when we had up to 3 in the tackle.

there first try was totally against the run of play and showed our lack of pace on that edge....... there second was off a blatant forward pass and was a bad attrmpted tackle off zac, i think

Didn’t see the game. Good result

Neither did I. Over in darkest Yorkshire for my sister in laws 60th birthday and had to suffer England v Ireland in the pub today.

Pleasantly surprised by the result. I don’t know if Hull had their best side out but regardless I thought we’d struggle v their size as bar about two players they are big side.

So very pleased to see after what was seemingly a tight first half we pulled away for the win. No complaints from the Hull coach either having read the BBC match report (not that it that detailed mind you!).

Hull had 6 or 7 missing but it looked a handy squad never the less.
Our forwards held their own and the backs were better than Hull's. Their tries were a bit fortunate well taken by them.
Our tries were well constructed especially the first one by French.
I thought our lads stepped up as they knew hull would be bringing a physically big team, which they did.
French and Hastings are both quality and add a lot to the attack as well as being solid in defence.
A good win and deserved too.

I think that sums up the game perfectly Ted.
