That guy was a moron. I remember when Adrian Morley got sent off for decked him at Headingley. It was pleasing on so many levels.

We really need one of those players now though. It makes me want to vomit when Wane comes out with these comments about how his players will protect little Sam because there are so many trying to hurt him, yet three or four of the biggest thugs in the league are Wigan players. (Hock, McIllorum, Frodo and Lima). We've got no one who will stand up to that physical aggression like we always used to have and we get bullied.

What we need is a young Shane Webke

I'd prefer a sonny Nickle. He was big, fast, agressive, never gave up and hard as nails.

He was also 100% turd.

Sadly he was also a penalty machine, now Webcke or Tallis in the redvee .. yes please

In his second stint with us he was very well behaved; until the robbie mears incident, which was awful.

I think he did mature a bit yes. Not many good enforcers around these days sadly, people some times think aggression means you have to be dirty too, McIlorum is just a second rate thug who'll spend his career in Roby's shadow, he's not even the best 9 at the pie dome, that honour goes to a guy who is aggressive but not imo dirty , Tommy L

McIlorum was deservedly sent off and will now get a ban. It was stupid and foolish and cost us any chance of the win. Hopefully he will now learn his lesson...

I've only just seen the challenge. Any defence of it is completely laughable, any tackles like that should be red carded without question.

you dont get much worse than a late high swinging arm when the player your 'attacking' has their back turned. Cowards tackle.

He's making a habit of blindsiding people. He punched Elima from the side too, a similar angle to the much berated Magennis punch on Tuson.
