Super League: Hull FC 24-22 Wigan – Warriors’ winning run ended

Hull FC interim head coach Simon Grix told BBC Humberside:

“After training with a certain purpose, I expected us to get it right this week and for large parts of the game, they played how we practised, which was really pleasing.

“Thankfully we held on – we did some dumb stuff in amongst [it], but that’s us. It wasn’t pretty at times, but the win is everything.

“[In the last 10 minutes] we still showed a willingness to play, which was great to see, but there was some stuff where you think, ‘Why have we done that?’

“Against the best pack in the league, it’s going to be tough when you get to the back end of the game because physically they are very impressive, what they’re able to do.”

Wigan head coach Matt Peet told BBC Radio Manchester:

“We were below our best but that’s in part due to Hull FC playing outstandingly well. They finished their sets really well and defended with energy.

“They played with desperation, a desperation that we lacked, disappointingly.

“There’s be some valuable lessons in there for the likes of Junior [Nsemba], Jack [Farrimond] and Zach [Eckersley], all of our players really, they’re not nice when they come along, those lessons.

“When we look back at it, to lose a game by two points, we’ll see loads of areas where those two points could be made up.”
