McIllorum turned up to training this morning severely overweight...


Turns out he still had James Roby in his back pocket!



The old ones are the best!

im sure he was a big fan of terry actually.

The lad is a nasty, snarling, aggressive son of a bi*ch and I loves him to bits!

Him and Hock belted the living daylights out of the Saints pack yesterday. Only 3 or 4 seasons back our pack was a touch soft I thought and lacked aggression....how times change!

Jeez you had me worried with that thread title! Micky Mac is fab, and when Eddie said he reminded him of Tez Newton yesterday it was one of the few times he wasn't talking poop.

Add Eric to that list as well.

Nice to see isn't it

Micky is top drawer Hooker and he must be the best defensive hooker in SL he has surely come of age, Yesterday i believe he played carrying an hip injury and still was awesome this lad has got the potential to be world class,

Smashed the saints pack to pieces Micky mac yesterday, some thunderous hits. Love him

Terr Newton was one of my favourite ever hookers but even as a Wigan fan I have to say he had a real nasty, dirty streak!

MM has all the same skills and aggression but in a much more controlled way. He's really excelled this season and has the potential to become a real class Wigan legend! Long may it continue!

I think that is a fair summary. Tez was one of those players the opposition targeted like they do Hock hoping he would lose his cool and sometimes it worked and he did. They don't bother with MM. There wouldn't be any point.

The pack has been found out in the past couple of years againts Wire, Cats and Giants. The pack now has that nasty aggressive streak that is still disciplined. I can't pick a player out and say he is a soft touch.
