Yup, he'd make an iconic figure outside the ground. Given how small KC is on the turnstile, there is no reason we couldn't add further players.
A Wilkin statue would have to be elevated otherwise it would be victim to dry humping.

And Jamie Foster was a saint who played for Blackbrook but didnt stop you claiming he was a wigan fan as a youngster and played for haydock or something along those lines. |

Foster was a Wigan fan when he was younger, although I don't know what that has to do with Wlikin being a robins(HKR) fan.
His parents had a pub just outside Hull, I went in a couple of times when I was over there on business. |

But Foster WAS a Wigan fan when he was younger. He has said so himself, publically. I'm sure Makinson was a Wigan fan too (and probably still is), since he's a Wigan lad. Any other claims though will be rubbish.
As for Wilkin's new deal, I think this is great news. He was outstanding in 2011 and had a great Four Nations campaign. He's also a very good ambassador for the club and for the sport. I hope he goes on to have the best four years of his career.
I wonder if the RL media will make as big a fuss of Wilkin signing up for life as they did over Sinfield last season? I doubt it like but it will be interesting to see if they do. |

Great news. A four year deal has sent out a clear message to all the union clubs and the NRL who were no doubt sounding Wilkin out.
Yep.

What the hell are you on about? Does a player now have to be in talks with Union or the NRL to get a contract? |

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 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.
