A big 40 minutes awaits Hull FC who get the second half under way.

They need to hit the ground running to overturn Wigan's 11-point lead.

Should be a good half of rugby league.

This is a great piece from BBC Look North. Worth a watch as we catch our breath during the break!

Johnny Whiteley is not only a Hull FC great, but a legend of the game who shone on the international stage with Great Britain.

As you may be aware, clubs below Super League have been bidding to take the place of Toronto Wolfpack for next season.

But one team who have ruled themselves out are Widnes Vikings, who've had a turbulent time in the past two years since their relegation having gone into administration in 2019.

"Whilst as a club we've got aspirations to be a Super League club, the stage of development where we're at as a club means it isn't the right time," CEO Phil Finney told BBC Radio Merseyside's Try Time.

"We're a historic and successful club of 125 years, but we're only 20 months old as a business."

On this week's 5 Live Rugby League podcast, executive chairman Robert Elstone discusses the future of Super League after Toronto are denied a place in 2021.

Meanwhile, Catalans Dragons half-back James Maloney, one of the game’s great characters, also shares stories with BBC rugby league correspondent Dave Woods from his richly-varied career.

Right on the hooter, Harry Smith kicks a cheeky drop goal to further extend Wigan's lead.

In the aftermath, Ligi Sao and Willie Isa seem to become embroiled in a row as they're walking from the field.

A tempestuous end to a tense half.

It's fair to say it was quite a nervy start for Wigan in this game but they've well and truly grown into it as time's ticked down to half-time.

Marc Sneyd ought to get his kicking boots on - Hull are only 10 drop-goals off their opponents..

Wigan are doing a fine job of keeping Hull pegged back here just after the restart.

The visitors are stuck in their own half for an entire set of six and Jake Connor attempts a wild 40-20 attempt from deep upfield.

Ooh er. A bit of afters now as Oliver Partington reacts to Ligi Sao putting in a huge tackle on Willie Isa.

Josh Griffin, whilst celebrating the challenge, sarcastically pats Partington on the head which caused the kerfuffle that followed.

Griffin then concedes a penalty to Wigan. Pointless and kills all of Hull's momentum.

Dear oh dear. Hull are denied a try. Bevan French spills the ball inside Wigan's 10 and not long after Hull manage to score what they believe to be the first try of the game through Bureta Faraimo.

However it's chalked off after going upstairs when it's judged that Zak Hardaker was pushed in the build up.

Hull win possession on the restart by virtue of French's knock-on, but Wigan swiftly regain the ball.

Oliver Partington is held up by Hull just moments after Joe Burgess' drive to the try line.

Bevan French then frantically sends a kick in on Wigan's fifth tackle but Ratu Naulago wins it back for Hull.

Wigan turning the screw, here.

Amazing defence from Hull FC here to deny Joe Burgess a certain try and response from Wigan.

The hosts burst upfield and Burgess by all accounts should be home and try but he's held up right at the death.

Cracking work.

Marc Sneyd was useful with the boot against Warrington last week and he's got Hull off the mark tonight.

The visitors lead and it's taken 12 minutes.

Well it's as edgy as you can get right now to be honest folks.

Neither side are off the mark having well and truly sized each other up in the opening 10 minutes.

You get the feeling the first score in this match could be significant.

At the other end, Scott Taylor comes within inches of getting Hull over the line on their first tackle.

He's held up but Hull work it out wide and send a speculative grubber kick in towards the corner but it sails out before they can make an effort to ground it.

Better stuff from the visitors.

Believe it or not, Wigan haven't played at home for eight months! What a year this has been.

Wigan have the first charge upfield with Jackson Hastings well in amongst the action for the hosts with last season's Man of Steel coming into this game off the back of signing a new contract last week.

Can he make it two Grand Finals in a row?

We are under way at the DW Stadium. One of these sides is just 80 minutes away from next week's Super League Grand Final.

Such a shame the fans aren't in for this one.

Here come the players! Kick-off is coming soon.

Should be a cracker, this.

Four teams left. Only one can win it all.

We want to know who you think will win this year's Super League Grand Final.

Will Wigan add to their League Leaders' Shield win? Or do you fancy Hull FC to upset the odds? And what of Catalans Dragons? Or are you tipping St Helens to retain their title?
