Am i the only one who doesnt think McIlorum distribution from hooker really isnt good? IMO he has something in him and could be a good player i just personally dont think at hooker. He hits hard and does run hard but IMO is to slow and often doesnt find a running player with a crisp pass. If he was an Australian/not from wigan would everyone be wanting him in the team at hooker then?

As for the argument i personally think TL game is much more suited to hooker

TL is so much a better 9 than a 7 imo.


I have said this since the day he joined us. In fact I said it before he joined us.

IMO we wont win anything with Leuluai at 7 hes a million times better at 9.

6 Tomkins
7 Deacon

9 Leuluai

17 McIlorum

R Riddell - Let him earn his place. From last season I'd much rather have McIlorum on the field.

So far a pretty convincing 9 to 1 in favor of Tommy playing Hooker, maybe not this year but I'm sure eventually when Mellor partners Tomkins at halfback we'll then see Leuluai move to 9 full time.

6. Tomkins
7. Lulu

9. Riddell
