He said "Had".

It's past tense.

Wilkin's problem is he promises to be genuinely top drawer, then rarely backs it up at the same level.

Good performer, and I agree he's underrated, but he doesn't reach the heights he seems capable of on a regular enough basis.

I think who ever said, let's see if he can back it up prob was talking about the hudds game.

We need wilkin to play the way he did at hull to stand any chance of a win against hudds.

No, you're presuming things here. Read the whole sentence - 'with the side he had' was the most important part of it.

Mighty tetchy of late Pass me them crayons young man, you can't be trusted with them they're not for chewing on.'"

I think we'll have to give him a call up, what have we got to lose?

The side we had was not the side we had under Millward. And our biggest challengers had gained significantly (not least - in Leeds' case - because of the excellent crop of youngsters they had coming through at the time which supplemented their established personnel).

Every coach after Millward has been forced to come to terms with steadily diminishing backline potency (with the exception of Lyon) and the retirement/transfer of the likes of Martyn, Sculthorpe, Newlove, Iro, Hoppe, Fairleigh, Britt etc.

It's not like Anderson was coaching the SL equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters. So, no. He didn't underachieve. Or at least not in the context of the league at that time.
