Wilkin talking like an expert in how to win big finals could be described as 'interesting'.

Tomkins is one of those players whose talent is admirable but who seem to have that unlikeable, egotistical streak.
The Alex Murphy de nos jours.

That's Sky all over though. I remember them asking 'Is Graeme Bradley the greatest import ever in the UK game?*' during his three year spell at the Bulls.

(*no)

Guess so, it's a subject he's eminently qualified to speak on, having a chance to stand and watch how it's done at much closer quarters than any of us.

Yup just look at his pedigree and personal performances in Grand Finals.

Just remember not to "Whoop whoop" or he'll cwy and cwy

Since Wilkin joined Saints he/they have won 12 trophies.
In that time Leeds have won seven.

5 losers in a row .Leeds lost 3 CC finals in a row yes,but they didn't complain about victors celebrating

With that in mind, I now think Wilkin is ace.

when did Wilkin join and when did he get into the first team?

Not entirely sure how this thread turned into one about Jon Wilkin. But I quite like him as a pundit. He knows the game, articulates his views well and is a lot better than a number of the current "regular" staff. I think there's a career there for him when he retires. I alsd agree with those praising Jon Wells.

While he hasn't done well in some GFs (and I didn't like his whinging afterwards once or twice, but meh, bygones) he has won trophies (he did win the GF in 2006, lest we forget), and I would have given him the Lance Todd in 2006 when he was outstanding in the CC final.

Not quite I was talking about Wilkin, a pussy-of sorts.
