I think the best way to explain it, by taking out a similar Saints scenario of Bowen, Smith and O'Loughlin and getting MM to lead the team around, quite a lot of hookers in Superleague can do this but MM is way out of his skill set. Roby and others have game stats way beyond what MM can possibly achieve.
MM has a very low tackle count for a hooker and his try assist is very poor and doesn't have a decent offloading game, yes he does terrorise the opposition with aggression and you have to watch out when he is around, he plays a percentage game around his forwards and is fairly error free.
But for me he isn't international class he is very restrictive once he goes outside the Wigan Structure. For me he is excellent for Wigan but could he fit into any other team I'm not sure.
Didn't he do just that very successfully this season when Bowen, Green and O'Loughlin were all out for protracted periods? Also he's a 'no brainer' pick at international level (injury notwithstanding) so obviously your last statement also doesn't really hold water. Still, let's not have facts standing in the way of your preconceived opinions, hey?
P.S. St Pete; surprised at you mate. Biggest load of guff I've ever seen you post. Not like you at all...
