Nothing to do with being grubs (when did that Aussie phrase make its way over here) or wind up merchants, the original comment was that MM only picks on the small players which could not be further from the truth nor does he go missing when it kicks off.'"
You of course are totally correct .
What also is correct is M.M is a Thug of the highest order |

| Quote: Jamie101 "As a Rhinos fan (and from way outside the M62 corridor originally) McIlorum's actions and Leeds' lack of response are two separate issues - having watched Leeds for years they just seem a bit polite and nice and whereas I was massively disappointed they were all passive afterwards, I am also not surprised. McIlorum going after the smallest bloke twice gives some indication on his outlooks but I know if I was on the pitch when something like that happened and someone was trying to drag my teammate up on his feet after when he looks away with the fairies I would have totally lost it, even though I am soft as.
It's just the principle of the whole thing. Don't go dragging people up who have dropped to the floor after a hit on the head / neck and who are out of it - he could have had a brain / neck / spine / airway issue or anything. But McIlorum wanted him to get up on his feet as it would make his hit look less bad 'see, you are fine and just being soft'.
The hit is terrible but it what McIlorum does next and Leeds offering no reaction to it that is worst. It is that lack of speaking up / standing ground when putting a pal at risk of all sorts of potential physical health issues (no one had had chance to check him) that really disappoints me.'"
But God love him for milking that penalty in the GF by throwing the ball into a prone Watkins and them taking the 2. We were dead on our feet and struggling to get back to defend that play. Cheers Michael! |

I'm as Wigan as they come but this is complete rubbish. Peacock is a legend of the game. |

Didn’t Tomkins crap himself when Solomona grabbed him by the shirt? |

We run that penalty and we win the game IMO. We had lost a few tight games by not taking the two in that period (Saints away which cost us the dinner plate thing about 3 weeks previous being the big one) so we were taking the 2 at every opportunity. Our game management at that time was appalling. |

Is that after some comments after they beat us in the final? I heard about them but don't know what was actually said to be honest. He's the most decorated player in SL history, showed up well against the aussies, played a key role in beating them on more than one occasion. I can't dismiss him as just a thug. |

Yep. He said that we as a club had no class when we won (the irony of him making those comments totally lost on him) our players were this that and the other and basically went to town on us. I think it all stemmed from the McGuire incident in 2010.
Interestingly, I haven't heard him say too many nice things about us during his punditry either and when we did the shirts for Rob Burrow pretty much every former Leeds player commented on it and shared the auctions except for Mr Peacock who instead seemed more focused on his Nandos. |

In terms of him as a player though, he was superb and I think every club would have wanted him in their side

Depends what you mean by thug I suppose. I've just looked it up and apparently it means 'a violent person, especially a criminal'. Obviously he's violent as are many forwards but I tend to think of a thug as underhand in some way. |
