Im sure NZ are quaking at the prospect at facing his fitness, distribution and aggression. He's average admit it! No bursts from dummy half, no kicking game, no creativity, no guile.

McIllorum is just a Scott Moore without the drink problem

Roby, McIlorum or Burrow. All three class, we're blessed with three very capable hookers. I'd have no grumbles whoever is chosen, I know all 3 will do a great job in different ways.

McIlorum's not 'class'.

It was a decent burst from dummy half that got him the try in the GF.

BTW quick ptb were binned after the 2008 WC when Aus & NZ players could lie on for ever.
Roby's spint from dummy half was nullified and we nothing except a good thrashing most games.
Quick dh runs work against slower and lower teams in SL. Against the best two Intl teams in Aus & NZ they are dead in the water and have been for years.

Someone forgot to tell Isaac Luke that DH running was dead.

Haha. It was a 4 yard scorcher wasn't it?

Anyway, you seem to be insinuating that running from dummy half is Roby's only strength. Yes that was his major attribute when he first started playing at hooker for Saints, but he has a top class all round game. Recently voted the 3rd best hooker in the world.

McIlorum probably isn't even the best hooker in his family.

Why is his dad on the game?

I couldn't possibly say on a public forum.

So are you saying that none of our solid props can win a collision on Saturday? As that is what creates a fast dart from dummy half.

Interesting that you complain on the Wigan forum when someone aims a personal insult at you.

For what it's worth, I'd have neither on the bench. I'd play Roby for 80 mins.

Your hatred towards McIlorum as absoulutely cringeworthy. A typical bitter Saints fan that is very much feeling the pain of Wigan cleaning up. If he didn't play for this double winning Wigan side im willing to bet your opinion would be somewhat different. I have no idea why you are getting so defensive over Roby, nearly every single person on this thread has said Roby is Englands number one hooker.

My opinion of McIlorum wouldn't change of he didn't play for Wigan. I have discussed the England squad various times and I've said that Liam Farrell and Josh Charnley should both play. They both play for Wigan.

And with regards to Roby, I was replying directly to someone who was suggesting all Roby does is run from dummy half. Therefore what everyone else on this thread thinks is irrelevant to my post.

Buffoon - A person given to clowning and joking.

Hardly a personal insult.

Am i the only person that thinks MM's service from AHB is slow?
