so what.
Meant Wigan were not "stretched" defensively.
On the "flip side" it gave Wigan ample opportunity to practise moves.

What sort of comment is that?
I find it astounding that a team has to make only 53 tackles in a game. Considering in some games 1 player can make around 40 tackles.

I think any team could have played hull fc tonight and not had many tackes to make, but I thought Wigan where out standing, up in the faces right from K/O and forcing errors.

Although Hull, for obvious reasons, have Wembley on their minds it was a great performance against a profesisonal Hull outfit. Surprised to hear it was 53... at least 5 (10%) forced the opponents a few metres back in drives.
66 - 6
with our attacking, maybe 3 potential tries/ disallowed could have got close to the 80 mark.

It was a performance against a professional Superleague team who played like conference team amateurs.
I am not taking much out of this game, solely because of the way Hull FC under performed.

We also only dropped the ball once, and that was when Joel Tomkins lost it when he had a try disallowed. Well done lads! :thum:

I am with you on this one. Rather than dwell on how well we played against Hull, I would rather know the reasons why we played so badly against Huddersfield, and get some reassurance that they have been addressed to everyone's satisfaction!
