the happiest people that MM is not playing will be the Saints medical team!

More like the Saints players.

Glad to see that “E” for emotion doesn’t drive you to “E” for exaggeration.

for his playing ability, doubtful. So they dont have knee braces on their holiday pics possibly

Must be a nightmare to play against. You may look the the odd poor challenge he makes but for everyone one illegal hit there are dozens of legitimate tackles that hurt people. He hits harder then anyone in superleague and is a general nuisance.

If he is out (which I haven't seen confirmed anywhere) then Wigan lose their joint best player.

If Mickey Mac plays, then our players should do it the "Wigan Way" and target his cheek bone at the earliest opportunity.

Who wouldn't do that?

Not an issue with it.

'Bullys'



Feck me, grow up and grow a pair lad.

Nice one, and would they come from behind when he wasn’t looking then get clean away with it, just like Wigan does? Having said that he’d be playing for Saints so he would probably miss and deck one of his own.

If thats the "Wigan Way" so be it, whats good for the goose.... Mr Wane would justify it with a quote "We are targeting a weakness in the Team"

He's your average run of the mill hooker that puts himself about in defence. He shouldn't be anywhere near the England team as he's not good enough.

Nobody fears him at all for his ability or his tough defence, they actually fear his attack to the knees, head shots, elbows and off the ball cheap shots.

Calling Wayne thick is tantamount to being disrespectful to the mentally challenged .

Surprised a Saints fan would have that opinion. He's terrorised your players and team for years.

Ah well, I won't lose any sleep.

I did read your post and that is what I replied to! You said he was lacking in brains department but my point was that he has a good rugby brain.

ps
Anyone who starts off a post with an undeserved insult against someone you don't even know doesn't deserve to be taken serious.

I think the best way to explain it, by taking out a similar Saints scenario of Bowen, Smith and O'Loughlin and getting MM to lead the team around, quite a lot of hookers in Superleague can do this but MM is way out of his skill set. Roby and others have game stats way beyond what MM can possibly achieve.

MM has a very low tackle count for a hooker and his try assist is very poor and doesn't have a decent offloading game, yes he does terrorise the opposition with aggression and you have to watch out when he is around, he plays a percentage game around his forwards and is fairly error free.

But for me he isn't international class he is very restrictive once he goes outside the Wigan Structure. For me he is excellent for Wigan but could he fit into any other team I'm not sure.

Seems a lot of Wigan fans think that Bitcon has much to do with the brains of Wigan.

The fact I said he's done great job and is a good coach but is thick suggests I'm aiming it at his non rugby brain.

Prat

I don't ever recall him terrorising us with his playing ability at all. In fact he's dead with the ball full stop.

He may have done same damage In the past but no damage rugby wide but damage to players illegally

Are you suggesting Wane has 2 brains and one of them is a Goon Brain.

I admire his passion even if he does go overboard on occasion. He's a very good coach, far better than he is given credit for IMO. He has lost numerous players in each of the last two off-seasons and yet they have made back-to-back Grand Finals - I know the standard of the league isn't what it used to be but it's still a fair achievement.

His team will be ready to hurt ours, I hope our lads can respond in kind next week.

Your posts suggest that it is you who is lacking in the brains department!

Incorrect. I know a fair few Warrington players who all say he's the toughest player to play against in the league and hits very, very hard.

Missing my point mate. I'm talking about his ability with the ball. He's dead with the ball.

Didn't he do just that very successfully this season when Bowen, Green and O'Loughlin were all out for protracted periods? Also he's a 'no brainer' pick at international level (injury notwithstanding) so obviously your last statement also doesn't really hold water. Still, let's not have facts standing in the way of your preconceived opinions, hey?



P.S. St Pete; surprised at you mate. Biggest load of guff I've ever seen you post. Not like you at all...

Terrorised?? Haha. He's never done anything rugby-wise to hurt us.

Didn't they just make him Captain, I wouldn't say he was successful he has only made one try assist this season which is FACT. Smithy did all the organising and leading the team around and I don't think you had all those 3 players out of the same time for long periods.
Rogues historical stats might possibly prove that. Also are you saying MM does'nt have a brain either a similarity to Wane.
