McIlorum: It’ll be like my debut again

[DaveO]

Micky was excellent when he came on especially for someone who's been out for 14 months.

The problem we had was when Lockers went off. The team looked a lot more dimensionless. That needs sorting.

I agree with both points and as I said in my Wigan v Saints thread the subbing seemed affect the team negatively. As you say re Lockers it needs sorting. We have to learn to play without him.

i DISAGREE

MM has never been my favourite player but today, after a long lay off I think he was very good

[Rochdale Warrior]

Blimey he's been out for 14 months , he did great today , and we WON

Now I understand why you think Joel went very well today

MM did just enough as you would expect from someone who hasn't played a competitive game for so long. To say he was "great" is over the top. It was "great" to see him back in action

+1

Considering this was his first game in 14 months and returning from such a horrific injury, I thought Mac done fine.
As meds says it's Sam Powell's shirt to take away, but I bet Micky will put in the effort to fight for the starting 9.
Nothing wrong with good competition for shirts.

We where doing good till he came on then the intensity dropped, as soon as he went off we started winning again, Powell is now our #1 Hooker

Except that didn't happen. In any case it's a bit ridiculous to decide who is the best hooker out of the two of them when one is in his first game back after 14 months out. :eusa9:

Don't feed him DaveO!!
