Hull FC interim head coach Andy Last told BBC Radio Humberside:
“I’m really disappointed with the result, but really proud of the effort.
“Wigan came into this game in red-hot form and we knew that we needed to be good to compete and I thought we were excellent.
“Getting that physical side right against a side like Wigan was so important and we did that.
“Just a little bit of quality was lacking in certain moments of the game, but to go toe-to-toe with them, we’ll take a lot of confidence from that.”
Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet:
“It was a very tough game. Hull made it a real challenge and I think we probably needed a game like that.
“We didn’t start the game in the right manner and they committed to it and put us in a tough spot, and the best teams are able to put it right.
“It was a bit of a perfect storm really and we managed to overcome it and that will stand us in good stead moving forward.”
