Re: What is the truth
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

And while we are at it we could cause even more ground problems for ourselves.

Re: What is the truth
Sounds like Joe took a nasty knock? Dirty?
In the meantime, we won at Swinton with the halfback pairing of Tomkins (J) and Gregson. Great work by everyone who stepped into the breach.
If we get Tommy, Williams and Lockers back for the 3 games in 8 days, and don't lose any more players, we could well be very competitive. Neither Saints nor Wire look that good just now.
Powell may be fit soon, I guess? If he is, I would drop McIllorum and play another prop.

Re: What is the truth
Not only are you are obsessed with playing one hooker you would be daft enough to drop McIlorum who is a far better hooker than Powell will ever be.Exiled Wiganer wrote:

Let's is a contraction of “let us.” You use it to make suggestions about what you and someone else should do. Let's is NOT a promise

Re: What is the truth
When he finds his form and full fitness then yes,as it stands as he plays back into full fitness then Powell is more than a match.DaveO wrote:Not only are you are obsessed with playing one hooker you would be daft enough to drop McIlorum who is a far better hooker than Powell will ever be.Exiled Wiganer wrote:

Re: What is the truth
Trouble is its easy to get things confused with Powell
Powell is a half back who covered hooker and has done extremely well in covering that role. However that does not make him an extremely good hooker.
Micky when fit will still be one of the top hookers in the league and its unfair to compare Powell and him judged on this position.
Sam has run his blood to water for Wigan and he has played well for us in what was an alien role. Given a few more years as a hooker (if thats how he sees himself now) he may become one of the better hookers in the league but for now he is not as good in that position as a fit Mickey Mc.
I would say Powell is now around the standard of Logan Tomkins, good enough to be in a team in the role, but he isnt going to be getting the england 9 jersey for example anytime soon, thats no disrespect to Sam just how it is
