How much longer can he last because he is still putting in class performances?'" He is well worth another year IMO, but its up to him i suppose.

I'm sick of hearing about this Leeds game in the cc that wilkin played so well in.
It's true he was awesome that day but back to his below par best the week after against bulls(I think).
A player can't live on one good game. Everytime someone says anything bad about wilkin all you get is Leeds in cc.
That games history now.

I'm inclined to agree - for every good game he's had in the halves he's had a few poor ones.
That said, he's not a half back. He's a ball handling back rower who is currently grafting rather than ball handling. I think that is what he's being asked to do and in fairness, he does it well. He's putting in some monster efforts that people aren't necessarily paying attention to because they want to see him breaking the line and setting up play.
When we get some props back, we'll see an improvement in Wilkin's game I'm sure. At the moment, he's just having to muck in to make up for the lack of grunt up front, as are the rest of our back rowers

Waste of skin. Goes down quite easily too...is he of Croation descent by any chance?

I know he's got a bad knee but I didn't know he was playing until he was put on his .

He wasn't playing for some of the match. But if he's carrying an injury then he isn't going to be on top form, is he?

If he's carrying a injury then he should be playing, should he?

He almost wasn't, if reports are anything to go by. But with our thin squad and if we want to be competing in the playoffs, how much choice do we have? He needs the sort of op Wello needs so either he battles on as Wello has been doing or he goes for the season so far as I can see (given that there is not much left of the season).

He shouldn't have been playing last night. That game last night will have no bearing at all on the playoffs.
Ok, they will finish top but finishing 2nd ain't bad at all.
If I'm being honest though he played how he's played all year. Bad knee or not he was just same.

| Wilkin needs to concentrate on his own game instead of mixing it with people who put him on his .

I heard Wilkin asked Senior had he managed to climb out of Paul Newlove's pocket after all those years...

That must have been some big pocket that Gary Connolly had, what with Senior in Newlove's and Newlove in Judas's.
