Some very ignorant comments regarding McIlorum and his ability as a player.
I honestly wouldn't swap him for any other English hooker. There's a lot more to a hooker game than the 'eye-catching' dummy half scoots. Wigan noticeably drop in intensity in defence and attack when Micky Mac goes off.
People are blinded by their opinion that he is 'a thug' and their general dislike of all things Wigan imo. Can't believe players like Lunt, Hodgson and Houghton are even mentioned as anywhere near the standard of McIlorum.
Roby is Mr. Reliable but his x-factor doesn't seem to be the same as it once was. I don't fear him as I once did when we play Saints.
I do rate Clarke, he has unbelievable pace for a hooker, but he does seem a bit lightweight. His breaks from dummy-half catch the eye but I haven't seen enough of him to properly judge his all-round game though.
Very surprised the only mention of Hodgson comes from Hull KR Fan's. Hodgson is one of the best hookers in Super League and puts in consistently good performances week in week out
For me Clark is the best this year, & as a KR fan I think Hodgson is up there in the mix, Sinfield is a half back who if asked has enough skill to play a holding role at hooker if needed but he is not even the best half back in England, Widdop is by a country mile.
