Quote: Cherry.Pie "Surely hookers are one of the main reasons why a pack is so successful? They are responsible for distribution and allowing the forwards to receive the ball at the right moment in time.
From what I've seen Saints have struggled against Wigan because Wigan have closed down Roby. When Saints play other teams Roby seems to do much better. McIlorum is one of the most important players in the Wigan pack and he has a big influence on how well the forwards perform.'"
Fair enough mate i see your point but i feel that McIlorum has better forwards at his disposal e.g. Hock, Mossop and Lockers. Say if you put Roby at London (no disrespect) it doesn't mean the pack will suddenly have a massive improvement.
Also feel it could be down to coaching as SW Is getting the best out of Macca.
