[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

I'm not suggesting selecting Ablett but I do vehemently disagree with the statement above. Ablett offers much, much more than lightweight softcock Wilkin. |

Personally I would rather have Ablett than Wilkin, what I am suggesting is that given where our coach has laid his cards he obviously prefers what Wilkin offers over that of Ablett. Both offer a good option at second row, with versatility to play in the backs if required. Wilkin has the advantage of more test experience (and losing GFs) |

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg |

There is one area where Wilkin is far superior to Ablett. That area is whining. When the TV cameras went into the Saints changing rooms in '09 at half time during the third consecutive Grand Ffinal they lost to us he whined, when Bailey was celebrating to the Leeds fans after Leeds beat them for the 4th time in this years Grand Final, he whined.
When Ablett had his face rearranged at Huddersfield, he didn't make any mention of it.
One of them is a whiny bitch, and the other is a tough competitor. I know which is needed against the Aussies and Kiwis.
Someone recently described Jon Wilkin to me as "Diet Kevin Sinfield", I think that's hard on Kevin Sinfield...

What John 'Im In The Form Of My Life' Wilkin?
He's a far better poster boy than a forward. |

He's clearly had a cr*p life.
Born in Hull, 6(?) times grand final loser would endorse that. |

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.

I have always assumed that your lack of clear positive vision was because of the chemical smog that drifts over Nantwich from Widnes. Is it getting worse?

So to confirm, he is a loser? A soft-cock one at that. |

| I wonder how many wino's fans were saying he wasnt good enough when they thought he was signing for Leeds. Not many I bet, he did'nt get voted man of steel by the players for nothing. Saying he is not good enough is a joke, lets see if your still saying that after the Aussie game.

Most overrated player in SL by some distance. Absoulutely laughable how he won MOS, can anyone recall him having a good game against a top 4 side??

Cheers, I knew you'd correct me if I was wrong so I didn't bother to look up the facts for myself. |
