20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: The Ginger Pearl "McIlorum is never a hooker for me. Absolute terrible in attack but his defence is world class. He would be awesome in the second row but his distribution and decision making is just not good enough for him to be the only recognised hooker in a champion side. Its a massive weakness for us at the minute. Imagine how good we'd be with Roby or Monaghan.'"
To say he is terrible in attack is a complete exaggeration. As soon as he has an off night the knives are out for him I seems.
What this season has shown me is you really do need two hookers to rotate. Recently when TL has shared the hooking not only do the team look better but so does McIlorum. He comes on and can be a real live wire around the ruck which he can't do if he has to play 80 mins. I would even go as far as saying he has been the better of the two in at least one of the home games recently when it was TL's turn to have a quiet night but he was only able to do that because he wasn't expected to play the full 80.
If MM & TL are our hookers next season that is the least of our problems IMO.

| If McIlorum was as good as he thinks he is he would be mediocre. Until we get a World class hooker to share the job with Tommy, we will never be a great team. Hate Sent Ellins but could you imagine Roby in our present squad, we would be awesome. This is not a reflection of tonight's game, just don't rate him anything above moderate

Disagree.
Roby is another Higham (admittedly much better). If you said Michael Monaghan or Cameron Smith I would have agreed with you.

Utter tosh!! Fair enough he had a bit of an off night tonight with the ball in hand but he wasnt the only one in horrid conditions. He's been one of our most consistent performers and gets us round the park effectively. It works better when he is spelled with Tommy but that wasnt an option tonight. Whenever he has an off game we get all this "he's not a hooker" rubbish, despite approaching 100 SL appearances in that position at the age of 23 and getting capped for England earlier this year.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Knifes arent out for McIlorum just because hes had an off night, I've never rated him and I cant see anything in him (other than his defence) as to why people think hes so good? He constantly makes the wrong decision. I've lost count of the amount of times this year that he has tried the Kieron Cunningham barge over try and failed every single time. Its a waste of a tackle.
FWIW im not saying we should get rid of him - I think he would make an excellent back rower & his defence is worth him being on the pitch any time, i just feel so uncomfortable with the fact that hes the one whos supposed to guide everyone round the pitch and make decisions he just isnt capable of.

For his first game in a while and in a new team I was very impressed with Cross.
