Why is it that Wigan fans still think this matters in the slightest? It gets mentioned on every micky Mac thread.

So he's harder than Cam Smith, great.

Thank you it's took you long enough to realise it.

What? You mean being a thug and being able to punch someone really hard doesn't really matter on a rugby field?????

You actually take notice of the crap he writes?! He's clueless and his moronic columns are awful

That's a sure sign of when you're struggling to justify a player's ability!

The thing with McIlorum (and Goulding for that matter) is that they are never dominated and nullify the opposition star players opposite them. They always have their opponent in their pocket and do the little things well to the benefit of the team. Charnley's try scoring record (better than a try per match throughout his professional carreer) has a lot to do with having Goulding as his centre providing assists or running intelligent lines that draw the oposition away from Josh. I was stunned when Mcnamara didn't opt for the best centre/wing pairing in the league. The way Goulding has been treated (e.g. picking Thornley for the Knights squad in front of him) he must be seeing Mcnamara's missus behind his back.

If he banged her behind his back he should be in the squad. He must've banged her in front of him and left a skid mark on his carpet to be left out of the England side

Anyway

Roby it is, with burrow in the bench.
I hope to god this is what banana man goes with

Where has Micky Macs hard man reputation come from anyway?
Don't think I've seen him in a scrap. He looks like he can handle himself I admit.
I remember Cunningham pushing him in the face when he was been a 4ouse and he didn't do anything.

My thoughts exactly. Wigan fans assume that because they won the double, every player is the best in the league in their position. A mate of mine claimed the other day that Iain Thornley should be in the England team. Clueless.

Goulding for England? Jeez, he is the centre equivalent of Mossop. Now Farrell & McIlorum are good SL players, but Goulding is so average it's untrue.
Ben Crooks, Atkins, Wardle, Turner, Ratchford, Shenton, Hardaker, Marsh off the top of my head are all preferable.

He had a sly off the ball slap on Elima & stood on another player's leg while he was on the floor. He's rock.

That's already been said mate, your a bit late.

Have a read further back to see where I back it up and come back with something original rather then derailing threads.

Cheers

You missed the bit where I said I wouldn't pick him at the weekend?

Wigans success last year still cutting you deep I see.
