What do Wigan actually have to do to concede a set restart

My thoughts exactly as they are slowing the ptb and messing about yet Thaler allows it to go unpunished yet gives 6 again against us for less.

Thaler really doing his best to give it to Wigan.

I love this club

Hearts in mouth stuff. Team effort to be proud of.

Wigan execution was poor and we kept giving them opportunity after opportunity. However despite being on the back footbeing along time since ive seen the lads pkay with such desire and effort. Clifford outstanding, Litten will be a star and Houghton rolledthe years back.

Much better 1st half and then a not so great 2nd half but they stuck at it snd ground out the win in the end and thoroughly deserved.

Looks a classic of Thaler engineering a result.

Unreal defence throughout that 2nd half! The effort and trust in each other was unbelievable.

Fuck off bell end

Well! Clifford absolutely everywhere tonight. Trueman didn’t do much but good to see him get out there. Lane and Mcintosh the obvious passengers as others have said.

if only we had four or five players with the class and work ethic of Clifford

That sin bin at the end was so smart. Wigan was in if he didnt do that.

Some very good performances but the collective effort in such bad conditions was outstanding. A step towards SL safety hopefully.

Agreed. Clever play and went a huge way towards getting us the win.

This team has taken some stick over the past couple of months, and rightly so. But I think when they show the commitment to the shirt like they did tonight then they rightfully deserve the praise.



Wigan were not at their best clinically tonight, but they are a good team that will probably be there on the last day of the season. But you can only beat what's in front of you and the boys dug in tonight to get that victory.



Well done lads. We look like we've come out of those tough months for us and turned a corner now, long may it continue.



Enjoy the victory, we all deserve it.

Trueman's self sacrifice at the end was so intelligent. Knew it would slow down play, allow us to set the line and back ourselves with 50 seconds to go. Hats off to him, a brilliant move in a debut 40 minutes. What a performance from Hull, assured, confident, committed and effective against a determined second half showing from Wigan. Clifford was massive, his best performance in a Hull shirt.



As an aside, on and off the pitch Litten is looking like a star in the making. Media savvy and comfortable. Is there already an argument to say that when Hoy comes back, he should play wing/centre as it's difficult to move Litten from full back?

Congratulations Hull, great win to add to the Huddersfield win last time. Things look to have really turned around. Enjoy the night.

Not pretty but some effort, that's all you can ask for and as disappointed as I would have been with a loss, I could have taken it. Full credit to Smith and the players.

Didn't get alot from the ref, not one set restart or penalty when in possession the 2nd half.

My opinion would be Hoy comes back in at full back and Litten on to the wing.

100% should keep his place in the team, but Hoy is our 1 and at least in the first 2 games of the season looked a lot more threatening with ball in hand and more likely to provide assists. Especially if our pack can get back to being on top.

Litten will get his time again in the future. But what a prospect this kid is.

Hard to argue with much of your post. Was a deserved win that was earned by effort & hard work as a team. Some very good performances by some individuals and some not so brilliant too.

Good to see us finally playing & kicking smarter and getting some repeat sets off the back of that.



Think the changes at half time bringing Trueman & Dwyer on seemed to unsettle us a little and take us time to get reorganised.



Think the FB position is Littens to lose, on current form Hoy has to bide his time to get back at in at 1. Though that’s fir Smith to manage in terms of what’s best for the team and a young player.



Really struggle to understand what we do so differently to the opposing teams when it comes to 6 agains

Agreed, also strengthens the wing spot, Scott isn't a winger and Mcintosh terrifies me there under the high ball. Litten and Swift

on the wing.

Congratulations - a really gritty defensive performance (exactly what Hull needed). Danny Houghton with a huge play to stop French towards the end. Litten, Clifford and Satae very good. Smart from Trueman. A little frustrated at our blunt attack but sure we'll be fine when some playmakers return.

Really struggled with metres 2nd half, showed our lack of power on the wings and also the pack. Gave Wigan the front foot, so kicks alot harder to take, compared to French who never had any pressure on kicks. We scrambled superbly, game should have been over if Mcintosh could have taken that kick.
