Just goes to show, when the Ref decides not to issue red cards for attacks to head McIlorum can be on the pitch long enough to not be .

In a test match he'd have walked.

Give over! Look at the crookes tackle for an attack to head where the player should have walked. Mcilorums was a nothing tackle that was a penalty at best

Great player. What else to say?

How ironic a post considering the 'god-like' status given to that grub Bailey by Leeds fans over years and years! TMFMISL (The most feared man in Super League)!!

Don't make me laugh!

McIlorum is a thug.
He fits in to Wigan's style of play very well (I'm not suggesting they are all thugs) in that they overwhelm the incompetence of current British referees by pushing every boundary regarding offside, holding down, high tackles etc to the extent that they haven't the backbone or the backing to penalise every offence without completely stopping the match.
Against an equally efficient and aggressive (probably Australian) pack he would bluster and then run and hide.
How he stayed on the pitch against Leeds tonight mystifies me. If a player attacks the head (or makes a spear tackle) it is ridiculous for the referee to suggest that the offender knew that the outcome would not be serious and therefore let's it go with a sin binning or on report.

Looks like the pints of Yorkshire Bitter is flowing well this evening.

The 'Dirty Wigan' thread on the VT is an entertaining read!

didn't watch the world club challenge? All the Aus commentators were raving about him, makes the rest of your post irrelevant.

Exactly.

He battered Warea-Hargreaves senseless every time he ran the ball and nothing else really needs to be said.

You don't know much about MM do you? Hiding is not a trait he possesses.

The VT and Substandard are especially funny tonight. If I wasn't a mod I'd bump that "Whino Miss Pissypants nominations" thread I started after we won the cup in 2011.

Not overreacting to tonight, but the guy comes up with the goods in the big matches time and time again. He is in my top 3 hookers I have seen playing for Wigan, and that covers a considerable period.

Someones not happy


Wow. Just wow!!!!

It beggars belief given what happened in the match we ALL just watched.

But then, Leeds's current fans (and some of their players), are the least able to take defeat on the chin that I've seen anywhere in the game in the last 30 years.
