Are you not aware that on RLFans if ONE person says something it automatically becomes the view of ALL the supporters of that club.

There's a thread on VT entitled "Dirty Wigan"
If you want a good laugh read some of that.

The scary thing is I think McIlorum would flatten Jimmy Lowes as well given half the chance

He's not as clever with ball in hand as Lowes was but he's a scarier prospect in defence and in general then Lowes was imo.

I kept replying to Saints and Leeds fans in the past couple of years who said Micky Mac was a cheap shot coward saying he's anything but. He's as tough a player as I've ever seen and he wouldn't take a backwards step against anyone. The going over he gave Warea-Hargreaves in the WCC proved that and if that didn't then him dismantling the Leeds pack and going head to head with Peacock surely must have.

I think Micky Mac is a tough customer and plays well above his weight. I would have loved to have seen him in opposition to the original Wigan 'Mac' - Brian McTigue.

p.s. The Leeds Whinos fans are very unhappy all across the boards, at present, aren't they?

McTigue was one hard guy on the field, as is Micky Mac, and its no coincidence that theres a common factor between the pair of them....I have never heard of any incident involving them housing off the field, unlike a good few other so called Rugby League hard men

Very good point. The thing I really notice about Micky Mac is how well respected he seems to be by his fellow pros. He seems a very popular member of the squad when you read about on twitter and the like and the players followed him on Saturday like you should do for a good captain that you respect.

And when you consider the amount of negativity he generated when he first came into the squad, he has really cemented his place.... But then, some fans are very quick to be negative.

get back in your corner, happy clapper!

*chuckles* Better to be quiet and thought a fool, than open your mouth and prove it.....

haha i like that!

Brian McTigue was hard yes but his greatest attribute was his ball handling. He was the greatest ball handling forward I have ever seen in 70 years of watching the game.

Absolutely, and he had a quick burst of speed too.

But it was his 'hardness' that used to frighten the Ozzie forwards. They feared him, and would not mess with him. I think MM might also be an 'hardcase'.

Some forwards have that intimidation factor. Les Boyd did, but he spoiled his great skills by some disgraceful actions.

AFAIK Brian McTigue never got sent off in his entire career. But he left rather a lot of opposition forwards on the floor flat out after a scrum.
