In front of only 12,000+,

I think Wigan played well against us. The positives I took from the match was our improvement on fitness levels and defence and most importantly our attitude. It was a good start irrelevant of who the opposition was and how they played it is about attitude and yes we need to improve in certain areas and there will be areas of improvement needed for every match in order to challenge for a top position.

I also think that Cas will not be easy to beat this year.

Hull fan in "reasons to keep the optimism in check" shocker.

Agreed. I thought it was a decent performance team wise against Wigan and a game we would have lost previously.

is richards out and if so for how long??

6ooo by half time.

I thought Wigan played poorly against us but I don't think you get many accomplished team performances until about game 4. This said, I reckon Nobles definitely on his way out.

I agree,said so at beginning of the season.

You cannot take anything really from the Wigan game, they where going to be sharper having played the week before and we would be rusty. But as Raggytash pointed out you wont see the real performances till 3 or games have gone by.

Looked the other way round to me.....they was shagged and we got stronger.

yes we seemed fitter, but fitness and match sharpness for me are two different things. you can do as much training as you like but compared to actual gametime it doesn't compare.
