The Virtual Terrace • Re: Marshall Brace Helps Wigan to Hull Win Down Under

Tough for Hull after losing the new winger and especially Houghton. It didn’t look the type of conditions were you’d want to be a couple of men down. We played well and our movement of the ball and running options look light years away from last year but we bombed so many opportunities (we didn’t create them to bomb though last year).
I can’t not end the post with what a total tool Jake Connor is. The lad is a good player but every time we play Hull he just seems to concentrate on needless niggling. Even his own teammates look like they think he’s a plank.
Fair enough assessment. We did well to hang in the game for as long as we did. The lack of rotation really hurt us. Didn't help that it was Watts first hit out since September too. Fatigue really got us in the end, and we just couldn't get that quick service and get the forwards rolling without Houghton.
Wigan looked good. Scoreline flattered us a touch. Could and should have been 30+ but not concerned given the circumstances. Thought we showed a lot of grit. Just hope none of the injuries are too serious.
