If they've picked a weakened team when they didn't have to, then they deserve everything they get. They picked a pretty strong team in the cup, so I assume they're not still under cap restrictions?

Anyway, I thought despite a few technical issues the opening game, and the coverage was superb. Great crowd, great intensity, great occasion.

Amateur hour production from the BBC on the Wigan/Hull game.  It's awful. 

Totally agree. It did more damage to the game than rather promote it.

Great performance by Hull in that second half.
A couple of players stood out.
A guy called Sezer looked good in the halves and Ese Ese would be a massive upgrade on Lisone.
Worry next Saturday is that Wigan like Saints will have a rocket up their aris after that second half performance.

Irrespective of that, you should be approaching the game with a positive approach/attitude to win THAT game.

Agree on Ese Ese. Exactly what we need. Hull vastly improved on last year even at this early stage. Just goes to show these things don't need to take years.
