Appears to have more than one braincell and all the correct chromosones though.

They may not have to, they've still got Lunt, Carlisle and Faiumu

i think that Faiumu is leavin at the end of the season so if moore go's back what he will so it will be lunt and Carlisle but i hope moore stays but can't see it happening

Get Micky Mc on loan from Wigan while you get your younger players used to SL. They have 3 hookers if you include lulu

What he said



Riddell won't go home and starting to show some signs of improvement so he and Tommy should be our 9's next season.

Macca is a very good prospect and would do very well at Hudds IMO he'd be worth it just to watch some of his hits

So Riddel is showing form because his played OK 2 weeksd running against Salford ? You lot do make me laugh!!!!



You all wanted him back on the first plane to OZ last week.

What they want is (in the nicest way) irrelevant. He will be here for his contract and ££££. Wigan are (with ref to hookers) where we could've been if Scott Moore was 2 years younger, a good prospect but not ready to take over at such a pivotal position, so they had to get piggy in

The pies are all the same. They are same with tim smith. If he plays well they all giz over him then next week want him to go home

No WE didn't.

He has played well for a while including the Saints game on Maundday Thursday.

There are a few at Wigan who have to have a "don't like" player. It's been Mathers, Piggy, now Roberts and probably soon to be Pryce.

WIgan fans make a rod for their own back though. A lot of them should think before opening their mouths and post garbage. So many posts at the start of the season about how Pryce was going to dominate this year. And dont get me started about the countless posts on all your recent imports and how they were going to tear up SL and how they were all better than their St Helens counterparts. TBH Rogues, you are one of the few who keep their feet on the floor. Cruncher is another.

I don't know Cruncher personally but I do enjoy his posts. I would think like me his a little more "mature" than most who post on the sites. (I daren't use the word older)

I like the term "More experienced"

He would be my choice to replace KC (excluding NRL players) regardless of him being contracted here anyway. Still lots to learn but he looks a real talent already, and his faults can be worked on over time.

No matter who ends up playing 9, we're gonna miss KC's defence massively.

Absolutely, KC is a once in every 50 yrs player, like Murphy. Scott Moore is IMO the best hooker in this league not playing for saints at this time and it will be great to have him here next year.

Do you think that you can afford to lose Long and Cunningham at the same time?

"afford" is perhaps the wrong term, if KC decides it's time then thats that. I can see him retiring from playing and moving to conditioner (no jokes please

) or strength coach. He will definitely stay within the club at some capacity whenever he retires. His experience can only help Moore improve further. At the end of this season Keiron will be 33, i think its time to let go, he hasn't been as effective this year and he should retire on top.
I think next year will be very tough for us as will have a new half back and hooker, two pivotal roles. I would be happy with top 4.

I don't think the team could maintain the level of consistency they have now if they replaced both, but we're going to have to adjust without both of them eventually. If KC stays beyond this season it could prolong the transitional period so it could be beneficial to replace them at the same time in the long run.

I'm far more worried about replacing Long than Cunningham tbh. Roby is waiting for the 9 shirt with Moore ready to take the bench spot - both now have a fair amount of SL experience. The same can't be said of Eastmond atm and I hope he gets more game time now we know Longy is on his way.

Assuming Eastmond is the man the club have in mind, of course.

True, I'd like to think it is but you never know.

I'm gutted we will be losing him come end of SL season. Had a fantastic start had a blip for a few games but so did the rest of our players but he has found form again.

It doesn't matter either way. This was going to happen eventually. I am sure the club wouldn't seek to use it as an excuse if we dip as well.

To be honest, it would be a damn good excuse if they did decide to!

course he is

You watched our last 2 games then?



I never said he was showing form either so please do read a post properly when going to comment on it. I said he was showing signs of improvement which you can't dispute eventhough I doubt you have seen our last 2 games.

Some Wigan fans do want him on the first plane back but we all know he is going to be here next season whether we like it or not, so we will have to stick by him (which most of us will do)

Therefore the best thing for McIlorum (considering Riddell and Leuluai will be our 9s next season) would be to go out on loan to a super league team to be guarenteed first team rugby.

F**king hilarious isn't it

I know KC plays a lot less minutes, but him and Moore dont look to different www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009
