The game has made a real effort to improve the processes when it comes to head injuries and to then see a guy cause one and react by dragging the injured player to his feet before dropping him again can’t have gone down well. Micky Mac played his intimidatory role to perfection in every incident bar that one. The fact that he did that and not one Leeds player had even a word with him, showed they wanted no part of him. That’s the issue with playing on the edge though, he gets one thing badly wrong and he’ll be sat down for a number of games now.

The stills don't look good but on the one replay I saw it seemed to happen very fast. I think there's room for doubt.

I don't know what's got into the players this year, the Makinson and Lineham incidents and now this. Has it always gone on and is only now being punished? It's very strange.

I was shocked the Leeds players didn't pile into him after that. Would be disappointed if that happened to a Wigan player and no one did anything.

On redvee they've all decided McIlorum is a coward who wouldn't dare try that on anyone bigger than Dwyer. Not that I'm condoning what he did but I thought that was hilarious.

The lad is a maniac and would happily do it to anybody. Anybody who thinks different would be wise to go back and watch the Magic game against Leeds in 2014 when it all kicked off. Jamie Peacock took the first carry after an all in brawl and Micky Mac tried to smash him in to next week. The way the Leeds players just took that last Friday was a real shock. Somebody has to get in to McIlorum there and show people they’ve got each other’s backs.

I did try to remind them of that on Red Vee, but the majority wouldn't have it. I've never seen Mickey Mac back down ever.

There’s a surprise

There are some players who do pick on small blokes and hide when things heat up (LMS, Clubb and Ryan Bailey spring to mind straight away) but Micky Mac couldn’t be any further from that. Running battles with Peacock and Warea-Hargreaves spring to mind. One thing we can’t forget also is that Micky Mac is a relatively small bloke himself. He’s pound for pound the most brutal player I’ve seen. The big Leeds forwards who didn’t build pluck up the courage to stick up for Brad Dwyer last Friday are proof of that.

The coward that went toe to toe with Jamie Peacock at the Magic Weekend,i thought it was funny when Dwyer was getting treatment and MM was laughing

8 matches at least

I remember McIlorum punching Elima when we played Catalans as well. Elima took one look at him and dropped to his knee holding his head. Didn't he batter a Wakey prop this season as well? Think it was a cup game but memory could be playing tricks.

Didn't he also have a battle with Frank-Paul Nu'uausala when we played Sydney Roosters over in Aus?

Pisses me off to this day that Peacock walked away the apparent victim of all that.

He changes the angle of his run to go after MM and shoves his elbow straight in his throat. Micky rightfully gives him a few digs back while Ryan Bailey runs around pointing and John Bateman goes after anyone that's moving.

Think that may be the one instead of Warea-Hargreaves. Getting myself confused although I do recall him going after JWH in the same game.
