Spot on, he runs some great lines.

he's great at playing hide and seek in big international games too...

In the all conquering 2006 season, he made the step up from behind the shadow of Gilmour to become not only the best second rower in our squad, but arguably the country. In that season alone, I can't think of a second rower who had performed better than Wilkin.

Since then, he has not improved, and has possibly taken a step backwards.

Now, I don't think he is worthy of a GB shirt anymore. (although don't ask me who deserves one ahead of him

)

He's a damn site better than Flannery and I'll bet he's cheaper too. For those thinking he hides from the hard work, I remember him breaking tackles to win us the Challenge Cup final against El Giantes at Twickers, with a broken nose. Hardly the stuff of lazy pretty boys.

We haven't played well in donkeys years, when was the last time we cut lose and pasted someone? We struggled through last season, grinding out results and it wasn't pretty. A lot of the work Wilko does goes unnoticed.

Funnily enough. Wilkin hasent had a good game for years either!

What?

He wasn't that bad in the cup semi against us last year.
P.s Clough looks like a great prospect how's he been playing??

It's ok sayin he does 27 tackles a game cox he prob does.

He's prob the best 3rd man tackle machine in the world.

And yes he did run good lines but now he is just like a dummy runner.

Don't get my post wrong cox wilkin is a player I like but IMO he thinks he is better than he is and not played how he can for year and half.

No matter what anyone says he has not lived up to it.

Fair comments mate. I do feel though that he hasn't quite cut the mustard at the very top level and in the biggest games.

You do wonder sometimes how weve managed to win anything these past few years with all these overated players that turn out for us every week.

Can we loan him back then please

To my mind he is a nautral loose forward, and should be playing there week in week out, instead of Clough, Hargreaves, Puletua, Flannery or anyone else that just happens to be passing. Give him the 13 shirt and let him settle.
