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.



(Coat please.......)

Blessing.



Just like how Hansen was injured. Has anyone missed him? No.

And no one will miss Piggy when we field a team of:



Phelps/Richards

Roberts/Richards Gleeson Caromont Ainscough

Tomkins Smith

Fielden Tommy Coley

Hock Bailey

Lockers

----------

Feka Prescott McClorum Tomkins

so long as Micky mac can keep his tackles below the forhead he will be ok, he has a tendency to get pulled up for being a little high.



his aggresion is what we need ay MM

I'm more inclined to share your concern over Piggy than Hansen. Hansen is a squad filler on a modest deal whereas Piggy is likely to be a much bigger earner in an key position.

I just think Piggy, like Hansen won't be missed, time will tell.

He's better than McCollorum, he'll be missed if not playing.



Whether he's worth a Quota spot or the money he is on (Whatever that is) is a different subject.

He's our best starting 9.

If Tommy was to feature at 9 more he's be clearly better.



Tommy during the world cup was class at 9, far better to Piggy.

In your opinion.



I was there and although I felt he Played very well I wouldn't go as far as saying he was "World Class"!



If he played there domestically & internationally and performed to that level for more than 1/2 dozen games (A full season at starting 9) then I may change my mind.



Do I feel as a club we should be using him at 9 increasingly, certainly.



At the moment would I start him there? Not if Piggy is fit, move him in there for 10-15 mins either side of half time certainly!



If the Pig isn't fit then Yes, use Tommy there more, but that is more a reflection on McCollorum than Riddell.

Riddell is an average no.9 Who by no means could have kept up with the pace of the world cup final. He can't really keep up with SL nevermind WC level.



I never said Tommy was world class, just better than Riddell.

Did you get many Signatures on your petition???

I wasn't there, although I'm not sure what bearing that has on the validity of my opinion. I thought he was world class. Unless your definition of world class isn't being able to mix it (and better) the best in the world in which case I'd be interested to hear exactly what your definition is?
