Don't agree.
Should Micky get injured or suspended, of which he has had a few of both over the past few years, we need a 9 who can fit in and do a good job for us.
Logan can do that and also if needed he can also do 80 mins. IMO we need to keep our options open and available.

IMO I'd like to see MM do 80 mins v saints and Logan 80 v Salford! Just to be awkward of course! :)

Logan not worth of a place on bench for Friday micky Mac will give Roby nightmares on Friday that's if he plays
Tomkins was very average against wakey his speed of thought and decision making is average at best

Short Memories

Shaun Wane played MM for the 80 on numerous occasions in his first season in charge, but he was burnt out by the play offs.

Since then he has managed him much better throughout the season. Come the play offs or certainly the GF I expect Wane will play him for the 80 mins and use that spare bench spot for a back/back rower.

Mac works hard particularly in defence but the quality is not there more than ever particularly in attack so the resting is not work. In a recent game for the first time IMO Logan had a positive impact replacing Mac which whilst Logan has busted a gut to improve says more about Mac than Logan.

I've personally never really rated Mac always thought he was such a limited number 9, average distribution, no pace, and not the cleverest upstairs especially rugby brain wise

Do you rate Roby?

I do, I wish Wigan had signed him as a junior. I think he is one of the few hookers of his generation who could have made it in the NRL.

I kinda understand what you mean but hookers don't directly play against one another like centre vs centre for example. But I think he's looked the more dominate in the past due to out pack being on top and us dominating, but comparing talent vs talent Roby is the better player hands down IMO
