Must be a nightmare to play against. You may look the the odd poor challenge he makes but for everyone one illegal hit there are dozens of legitimate tackles that hurt people. He hits harder then anyone in superleague and is a general nuisance.

If he is out (which I haven't seen confirmed anywhere) then Wigan lose their joint best player.

If Mickey Mac plays, then our players should do it the "Wigan Way" and target his cheek bone at the earliest opportunity.

Who wouldn't do that?

Not an issue with it.

'Bullys'



Feck me, grow up and grow a pair lad.

Nice one, and would they come from behind when he wasn’t looking then get clean away with it, just like Wigan does? Having said that he’d be playing for Saints so he would probably miss and deck one of his own.

If thats the "Wigan Way" so be it, whats good for the goose.... Mr Wane would justify it with a quote "We are targeting a weakness in the Team"

He's your average run of the mill hooker that puts himself about in defence. He shouldn't be anywhere near the England team as he's not good enough.

Nobody fears him at all for his ability or his tough defence, they actually fear his attack to the knees, head shots, elbows and off the ball cheap shots.

Calling Wayne thick is tantamount to being disrespectful to the mentally challenged .

Surprised a Saints fan would have that opinion. He's terrorised your players and team for years.

Ah well, I won't lose any sleep.

I did read your post and that is what I replied to! You said he was lacking in brains department but my point was that he has a good rugby brain.

ps
Anyone who starts off a post with an undeserved insult against someone you don't even know doesn't deserve to be taken serious.

I think the best way to explain it, by taking out a similar Saints scenario of Bowen, Smith and O'Loughlin and getting MM to lead the team around, quite a lot of hookers in Superleague can do this but MM is way out of his skill set. Roby and others have game stats way beyond what MM can possibly achieve.

MM has a very low tackle count for a hooker and his try assist is very poor and doesn't have a decent offloading game, yes he does terrorise the opposition with aggression and you have to watch out when he is around, he plays a percentage game around his forwards and is fairly error free.

But for me he isn't international class he is very restrictive once he goes outside the Wigan Structure. For me he is excellent for Wigan but could he fit into any other team I'm not sure.

Seems a lot of Wigan fans think that Bitcon has much to do with the brains of Wigan.

The fact I said he's done great job and is a good coach but is thick suggests I'm aiming it at his non rugby brain.
