Disgusting.

I remember when the commentators used to make a point that in RL the game goes on despite injuries.

Something needs to be done.
Hull have found the flaw in the system. If the physios come on the game continues, however if the doctor comes on the game stops.
How many times have you ever seen a doctor have to bring Danny Houghton off with a burst nose?

Of course they have. It gives their big forwards time to rest, suck the air in and plan for the next play.

Unless this is the way we want RL to go, then something needs to be done.

A one legged man could kick more goals than Hardaker, Please try and find one and sign him
Powel has reverted back to be his former self
Either move French back to Fullback or send him home
When will Lenagan put his hand in his pocket and spring for 2 props that can consistently break tackles
We really are missing Lockers

FFS I've seen better passes from Joey Deacon :evil:
:shock:
That where just for you me old pal :D

Yeah, and it's a bit annoying. But it isn't the reason Wigan lost this game.

We need to think less about Hull FC and more about the form of our own players. Our main men: Hastings, French, Hardaker, Smith, even, they all had stinkers to some extent.

Byrne had a shocker and played loads today. We desperately need another couple of props and a coach who knows what he’s doing.
I thought before the season started that without replacements for GB and Flower we'd struggle up front. We've seen today how big, strong, metre-eating forwards disrupt the opposition and without getting on top up front our backs and halves are on a loser. Our young set are competitive but not good enough as a unit and what is going on with Bullock is very odd.

All that said, great to see Dom back - let's hope his injury problems are behind him.

Agreed - and we were promised it was going to be fixed.
