Field picks up the hamstring injury in the build up to the Nsemba try. He just can't shake them - that's probably his fourth or fifth since he joined Wigan. You can see why he usually restricts himself to 70/80% of his top speed - when he runs at full tilt as he did tonight he seems to be at risk of injury.
wiggn2: Also before Hull scored - Kendall made up a knock-on against Smith when the Hull player just dropped it and then Wardle was picked up off the ground and put into touch. Basically gave them the game.
What, like a tactic Wigan do, every single game , off the ground at times too? One rule for one eh But what I will say, I absolutely despise the tactic from anyone, it's so negative and anti RL. Not entertaining or skillful in the slightest
IMO the tactic is fair enough, but doesn't the ball-carrier need to have feet on the ground? My understanding was, that if a player is lifted so that his feet are off the ground, the ref needs to call Held immediately. So as long as that rule is fairly applied, I don't have a problem with it.
I also thought the rule was that held was called as soon as a teammate of the attacker joined the tackle, but I haven't seen that called all year
A disappointing defeat but you can't win them all. There will be a few lessons in there for them, about making sure you don't presume a game is won when in a good lead and also for Peet in how you deal with the loss of a player like Field. Our game management was poor but so were our energy levels and enthusiasm at times.
Fair play to Hull, they're turning a corner and I'm happy for their fans.
