Interesting fact - that's the first time we've had a hat trick of home wins over Wigan since 1985 which is a very, very long time.

Massive chance for him. Playing for a contract extension.

On today's performance he deserves one. Best I've seen him play.

Not sure why he'd need an extension when he's already contacted for 2025

Well done Hull. Fantastic all round team performance. Knew it would be close at the end but we deserved the victory for sheer effort and determination. Walker, Aydin and King were outstanding., but all played their part. Maybe a few more surprises to come before end of season!

My mistake I thought it was only 1 year. There were strong rumours a while back that he was on his way and being dropped for a 18yr seemed to suggest that. If he continues to play like he did today both him and Moy will give us enough cover at full back and maybe use the intended FB quota signing for another position.

Really pleased the way he played long may it continue.

Phew, what a scorcher, and I don't mean the weather!!

Never saw it coming, not in a million years! Bit nerve-wracking in the last five minutes, but then it is Hull Fc after all! Fantastic for an hour, before we became increasingly ragged through the last twenty, but showed guts and determination to close out a deserved win.

Walker and Herman played big minutes, but a special shout-out for Aydin. That run early in the second half was worth turning up for all on its own, let alone the rest of his contribution.

Everyone played their part, with most having their best eighty minutes of the year by some margin.
Every dog has its day, and even though Wigan were a touch off their usual high standards, today was unquestionably our day to celebrate, at long last.

This has restored my faith in the power of sport to continually surprise. Never take anything for granted, life simply does not work like that.

great win today,apart from looking a lot sharper in attack,i think a big reason why we did so well especially in the first half was the very few penalties conceded.i dont think we conceded any pens in the first half.makes it a lot harder to make much progress without the odd pen.even for a team like wigan.

Phew just got in. Well played FC. The play was on from that scrum near the end but when Wigan came across Martin should have just come inside. But he's young and that last catch made up for it. Forwards where awesome today.litten still gets pushed of to easily but again still young and great try.Really humid out there and we flagged last 10 min but that's understandable.. We never do it easy. Not a big crowd but the noisest I've heard for ages. Grix deserves a big rap in all this to. Well done lads COYH

We had to miss today, Effin Covid. Outstanding nearly fell off the recliner settee a few times. Coughing brought on by shouting Everything was crossed for the last 8 minutes.
Master class on how to beat Wigan provided they drop everything thrown at them. Onwards and upwards, Cas looking over their shoulder in the race for 10th, get in.

I don't think I can remember a Wigan side make as many errors as they did today.
