That'll be the same McIlorum who battered "King Keiron" all over the Old Trafford in his final appearance for Saints, and then continued the same treatment to Roby over the next three years.

Hahaha.

McIlorum in your opinion got the better of a player several years past his best, wow. Now I know he's your little lovechild but he just inst that good. The King in his pomp was at least 10 times the player McIlorum ever will be and Roby is the undisputed England 9 when fit, he would get in any Superleague team including yours and most NRL teams.

Your bias knows no bounds

He got the better of a shot KC in one game. Your not seriously even thinking that he's a better player than KC? Please tell me you ain't that stupid!

He is

I never said he was, but he targeted Cunningham in that game. If you remember Riddell had been starting hooker at Wigan that season, but for the final McIlorum was given the job of "looking after" Cunningham something he did easily.

Anyway, back on topic, I think it'll be pretty close tomorrow.

You talk so much nonsense. There are 26 blokes on a rugby field. Hookers don't play head to head or mark each other in any way.

Without Roby you will find it very difficult.

That said I think you will raise your game in the first 20 of each half. We will rest Lockers and Sam and taking all this into account the scores will be a lost closer than many think

On paper a Wigan win, but by fewer than most believe and a Stains win is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility.

Watch the game again and see what happened. Why do you think Wigan started McIlorum ahead of Riddell?
You've already took a battering on the Wigan site you don't really want another do you?

Back on topic, I think it'll be a close game tomorrow.

Correct.

Hookers don't go head to head in the game.

He really is that stupid.

I don't know why Rogues is taking so much stick for pointing out a couple of 'facts'. In the GF of 2010 McIlorum was superb and got the better of his opposite number, the great Keiron Cunningham. It was the night the lad came of age and he hasn't looked back.

His second point that McIlorum has got the better of Roby more often then not in the last 3 years is also true. It's not all down to McIlorum obviously, he's been playing in a better side but its still true.

Like I said earlier in the thread MM is a huge part of this Wigan side and is a major reason why your forwards legs have gone to jelly at the prospect of facing Wigan these past couple of seasons. If he's out tonight along with Tomkins and O'Loughlin Saints will win the game IMO.
