I didn’t say you would pick MM over Roby. I just pointed out MM can keep him quiet, which you agreed with.nathan_rugby wrote:Does he really?DaveO wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 12:04 am There is one player who has Roby’s number and that is Micky Mac. He can keep him quiet.
The player I’d want out of those mentioned is Percival.
Their tougher players fulfil their potential because they don’t pack the first team with them and promote far fewer than we do. Their young players play alongside established players. Wigan have lost the plot with that.
I do accept Roby had some quiet games against us when MM played but how long ago was that?
And given hookers don’t really directly compete against each other (like fullbacks) the way props or opposite wingers do, it’s an irrelevant comparison.
No sane person would choose MM over Roby.
Didnt Adrian Morley say something along about Terry Newton "everyone played slightly worse again Terry" i think thats the case for Micky Mac especially in his pomp for us. I mean people talk about Powells defence in the number of tackles he makes but put it this way if someone said to me ill give you £1000 to run at Powell 100 times or Mickey Mac 1 - id said i hope you can count to 100DaveO wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 12:54 pmI didn’t say you would pick MM over Roby.

As to how long ago this is, Roby is also older isn’t he.
