Quote: St pete "Wilkin . . . . has failed as a 2nd row for the last 4 years.'"
Utter, utter nonsense.
You watch a vastly different game of RL to me. I see a player who tackles himself to a standstill, busts tackles, scores tries and creates.
There are very few back rowers in SL better than Jon Wilkin IMO.
Would you say Ben Westwood failed for Wire in the second row last year? Would seem strange given he was their player of the year. Per game played in 2010 Wilkin carried the ball more, tackled more, bust more tackles, made more clean breaks, missed fewer tackles, scored more tries and created more.
Might be worth watching some games with your eyes open and actually acknowledging the enormous amount of good work Wilkin does for Saints.
