Sam Tomkins starting for us tonight :cool: Welcome back big lad, you've been missed.

***Edit***

14-6 HT. A try for Tomkins on his return was good. The red card for Sims was entirely bizarre...apparently the Hull player falling into the head contact and then making an absolute meal out of it doesn't count as mitigation? Hey ho. Helping our cause was Hull thickit Sao deciding to try and brain Tomkins, earning himself a red and putting the sides back to equal manpower.

Still some annoying handling errors on our side. We'll need to iron those out and not start the second half like we've been doing of late, making mistakes and conceding early tries.

***Edit 2***

Ah, I see. Sims got the red not for the contact, but for picking up the 'injured' (there was nothing wrong with the snide ****) player. Okay. Irritating, but okay.

***Edit 3***

Yep, did it again :rolleyes: Silly error leads straight to a Hull try.

***Edit 4***

Better, for a while. 20-12. Both sides making basic errors as the tiredness and the heat get to them.

Shaun Kenny Dowall got banned for something way, way less than what Sims did with regards to lifting and injured player, so would expect similar for Sims.

Can't believe we are second in the table tbh, another massive game next week of Wire v HKR
 
Wigan will lose once this season v Leigh. I'm pretty sure it will be tonight. It was only some flashes of Bevan French stuff that got them home in the last game. Wigan are in their typical mid-season lull and its definitely a good time to play them.

This was some good jinxing!
 
Thank you Leeds!

Rovers got a tough run of games coming up though. I really like Matty Peet though, he is always such a gracious coach in defeat and gives credit to the opposition when its due. He is a class act.

Pretty standard stuff from 20 years ago, but absolutely moronic in today's game. 2-3 games if he's lucky. I wouldn't be surprised if Nsemba doesn't get called up for some niggly stuff on the same player.

This lack of form in July/August isn't unusual from Wigan, but the lack of O'Neill will hurt them as the games start to get more intense. Leeming offers a running threat, but not the same toughness. Wigan went into the season with 3 decent hookers and a worry about them all getting game time, but have one left standing at the moment.

As I said, its a good time to play Wigan right now.

Paul Vaughan got 4 games for trying to lift an “injured” player up so will be interesting to see what Smith gets. It must have been pure frustration.
