GONE WITH THE WIN

KR tough nut Micky may act like he frankly doesn't give a damn, but deep down he's desperate for final hurrah

- 

IT'S a daft question asking Michael Mcllorum if he's getting emotional as the clock ticks down on his storied playing career.

The veteran ex-England international smiled and replied: "No, not really. I'm not a very emotional type." Having earned a reputation as being pound-forpound one of the toughest players of his generation, it's just the typically blunt sort of response you'd expect.

But it doesn't mean the no-nonsense Hull KR hooker doesn't want to go out on a high.

Mcllorum's innate competitiveness will ensure he gives himself and the league leaders every chance of that.

Since joining from Catalans in the off-season, the 37-year-old has helped bring leadership, experience and his trademark steely edge to a club who, having not won anything for four decades, now target three trophies in five months.
