As usual Saints fans reading something that was wasn't written.
No way did I say McIlorum was better than Roby, here's exactly what I said.

But Roby won't play the full eighty for England, and replacing him with Robinson is replacing like for like in style of play.
McIlorum showed in the Grand Final what he capable of and the same in the game at Widnes. He can hurt in defence and is no slouch with the ball.

So you don't agree that McIlorum belted Cunningham and Roby all round the park in the Grand Final?
He did the same at Widnes with Roby. There are two sides to the game.
Do you think Roby will get the same space when we play the Aussies? You saw what happened at Widnes when that space was taken off him.
If you want another Roby style hooker (I don't) to play for England than Daryl Clark would be my choice. If only Michael Monaghan were English.
