But he hasn't hit the line hard this year he just trots it in like he aint got a care in the world, for me at the moment he seems to be too much in a comfort zone

Did you not watch the Catalan game? he ran his blood to water.

Everyone seems to be avoiding the Bailey issue, in Hansen we have - ok someone whos not been on top form this year but we know what he can do - we can only give him a chance, its not like we will lose anything playing him over Bailey. But we could gain a good line breaker if he clicks with Smith.

Bailey was only better for the team before we had more than one good Centre, so if things went tits up with Goulding/Pryce/Phelps he could fill in and be steady. Now we've got Gleeson i dont think his performances justify his place in the team, just my opinion.

Now i've said all this its actually quite likely he will go on and score 3 long range amazing trys against saints and single handedly win the game for us

And then you would wake up

McIlorum was outstanding for the reserves on Saturday and BN was there at Belle Vue to witness his performance.

He'll be in next week, for sure.

Big difference Wakey Reserves to Saints at MM!

Also, assuming everyone fit, who do you drop to put him in the 17????

We are a better team at the moment when Bailey's on the field. I like Hansen and yes I can see he does a similar Job, But for Me Bailey at the moment.

I'm presuming Riddell is injured.

If nothing else McIlorum has punishing defence that hurts people and in a derby thats a handy weapon.

I'd have no problem in him coming in as a straight replacment for Riddell if he's injured allowing us to keep using Sam from the bench where he's making great impact.

Here's hoping Piggy hasn't contracted swine flu.
