Outstanding Hull produce statement win at the Warriors

FC RIGHT BACK IN THE PLAY-OFF MIX AFTER STUNNING WIGAN

- By DAN TOMLINSON

Hull FC's Super League season is very much alive. In fact, on that evidence, they're right in the mix, with a thumping 32-12 victory at Wigan Warriors seeing them hold their playoff place and send a firm warning to the rest of the competition with eight rounds to go.

John Cartwright's side were outstanding.

They were fully deserved winners, hammering Wigan on their own patch with a disciplined and composed performance paving the way for a sensational victory.

And when you consider what Hull had out - John Asiata, Will Pryce, etc., etc. it's all the more impressive, with a good half a dozen players missing on what goes down as another emphatic away day and further proof of the Black and Whites' resurgence this year under their head coach.

Together, resilient, and gritty, this side's effort and commitment have been unquestioned, but they also showed their polish with the ball, hitting Wigan where it hurt to post five tries and six goals.

They defended well, completed season in black and white with another majestic performance.
