He didn't say that. No doubt Wilkin was on the radar of Union clubs and possibly NRL clubs as he is a quality player. All Robbo was saying is that it would now put off possible clubs coming in to sign him.

Thankfully not all players "do a Tomkins" and walk all over their club playing the union card shortly after signing an improved contract.

Some players just have a bit more respect for their clubs I suppose.

Wilkin might of done if he was good enough

Wilkin just has far more loyalty than either of the Tomkins brothers. One has already gone and the other needed a bumper increased contract and a get out clause in order to sign.

'Might of done'? If you're going to troll, at least make sure it makes sense. It loses all credibility otherwise.

Sheesh, the standard of trolling is going down the pan.

I'm fairly pleased we've kept him, although the length of deal is a concern I expect he will be one of a few Saints players that will benefit more from having ten interchanges instead of 12 next year as he can play long minutes at high intensity.

I wouldn't put loyal and Wilkin in the same sentence to be honest, but that's another story.

The deal first. A great deal for a quality player. Not many second rowers who can have the odd cracking game as a half back. This gives us a good portion of the pack going forwards and even if we do not keep sia we have two good second rowers in flanaghan and wilkin signed up long term.

Union wise I think there is not as much scope for conversion as people think. I would say 28 is getting towards the wrong end of the specturm. Also as a second rower it would not be a straight forward conversion. That was why I was quite surprised when theysigned joel as he was not really a quality centre. He was only filling in there for wigan.

I think forward wise the window is narrower for them to convert from league to union. Back wise the window is more dependant on your speed and of course a good agent who cqan sell your wears

That sounds libellous to me.

What is this other story, or are you not prepared to tell us.
Seems to me that you are trying to discredit Jon Wilkin. Bit nasty of you dont you think?
You should PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
