Great game from Wilkin. really played his heart out today aswell as the other 16 players on the field. I am very proud to be a St Helens Fan at this moment in time. The injuries we have had and the young kids have come in and been awesome. Very proud.

Fully deserving of the MOM award. His kicking game along with Saints aggressive defense in that second half got Saint's back into the game. However he'll be back to his usual anonymous self next week.

Played brilliantly, great kicking game today.

The workhorse thing is something forced on him by the genius Potter , hopefully he'll get his shot at Loose when we start getting people back

The next step for wilkin is backing it up next week.

Wilkin + Eastmond Vs Brown + Brough.

Gonna be tough.

You can predict the future - WOW - can you give me next weeks winning Lottery Numbers ?
Anyway I'll allow him to have a 'quiet' game against Sheffield (if he's playing).

I would hope that against Sheffield he will stand out,hopefully they will put the game to bed in the first half and rest players if they can then.

All credit to Wilkin.

Superb effort and display at Hull.

I wonder is the news we'd signed laffranchi on and being linked with waterhouse had any bearing on the way he played?

Next year could be a real battle for backrow spots If we do sign another backrow as the media is suggesting.

If by anonymous you mean making as many tackles as Ryan Hoffman, missing fewer tackles than Ryan Hoffman, making more busts than Ryan Hoffman, making fewer errors than Ryan Hoffman and giving away fewer penalties than Ryan Hoffman, but with a kicking game thrown in - then yes I agree with you.

Great post.

Great reply

I mean anonymous as in the Good Friday derby. Where Wilkin was completely and utterly anonymous. As opposed Hoffman who tore to pieces Gardner, Shenton and Lomax, and was without doubt the best backrower on the pitch.

Seeing as you've compared Wlkin against Hoffman. How about we compare Wlkin against Liam Farrel. A youngster with less than 50 games against his name. Liam makes more meters per carrie, more tackles and marker tackles per match. With less missed tackles and less mistakes. All from a guy who plays 40 minutes a match compared to Wilkin's 80.
