I'd agree he's been slightly below his best but you can't knock him. I think he tries too hard at points but he's a fearsome player and it's hard to put in to words just how important he is for us. He gets bashed by opposition fans left, right and centre but I bet of you asked opposition players which Wigan player they like facing least it would be Micky Mac.
We simply must get Bateman signed up also. He can be Lockers natural replacement and can be the driving force of the side along with Micky Mac.
