I was impressed with wilkin last night.

Wilkin put in loads of massive performances last season too - said many times on here - and that's why his early season bad attitude was noticeable.

I agree and went as far to say that wilkin was the best backrow in super league last year.

Wilkin suites the little plays around the rucks with the little short passes and off loads as he's good good hands.

Yep. He and Roby had that going well at times last season. Remember the first playoff against Wigan? Some of the stuff we played in that game alone was great to watch. We pulled Wigan all over the place.

Being asked to play a different role doesn't = bad attitude. icon_thumb.gif

He has played at loose and second row throughout his career with Saints. Royce played him at both. He covers at 6 too when we are pushed and did so with great effect last season when we had no halfbacks left through injury.

It's hard to describe in here what I mean but he's at his best when he's doing them little offloads or receiving off loads close to the ruck like he used to do.

Roby, wilkin often provide these little link ups with wello finishing them off.

I must've been on my own in thinking he wasn't having that bad a season anyway but he's definitely been more involved with our creative side and kicking game in the last two weeks.

Nope, me too. Couldn't believe he was getting stick after the Bulls game.

He's been amongst our best this year IMO, even when we were struggling.

Most of our kicking was pretty bad last night. Lance came up with some shockers with one charged down and another out on the full.

Is it just me that notices him start games well but as time progresses he starts to give penalties away and make poor choices? May just be fatigue therefore perhaps he needs spelling more often than has happened in the past.

I'm not sure what you're reading into there.

Wilkin was playing well beforehand but his role has just been tweaked slightly in the last two weeks. His workrate was impressive early in the season, he always seemed to be in our top 3 tacklers and yard makers. Now, he's playing a similar role but more centrally from the loose position rather than in the back row on the left edge, often probiing for gaps around the ruck.
