Are there any other players out there who can string a sentance together or is Wilkin the only rent-a-gob we have?
Sample stupidity this week
Does he think that Saints' were champions they past couple of years then? 
Why is it so difficult to grasp that finishing top does not make you the 'Champion Team' it makes you the 'League Leaders'?
Please, can we find someone else to !

I agree. His stuff in Rugby League World is quite interesting, and quite modest. Far better than JJB's interviews, which make me cringe. |

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

| Quote: The_Wolfman "Oh and wilkin is the biggest t i t in the game. shooting his mouth off constantly, who thinks that Graham should be MOS and what a travasty that he didn't make the Dream Team. I thought tonight he was fairly non-existant. all this from the lad who dreamed of walking out at wembley with saints even though he was born in Hull and played for KR ![]()
Comments from someone who knows sod all about the game outside of there own club games Wilkin won an award last year for being ambassodor of the cooperative community project bring young players into the game. Graham was short listed by all the players for MOS and Wilkin being one of these players has more knowlege of the game than biased supporters.
As for playing for Saints instead of Hull KR isn,t that what players do.

Would Wilkin be winging so much about the playoff system had Saints won every year they'd finished top?

He's right though, the league leaders is deliberatly devalued to make the grand final more attractive, which is wrong as being consistantly the best all season is more of an achievment for being the best for a few weeks at the end of the year.
I'm not neccersarily saying that who tops the league should be 'champions' but it should certainly be given the same level of prestige as the gf.

It's fairly simple though. The 'Championship' is decided by a league system to decide seeding for the play-offs - as in Australia, as in many American sports - if you change that to just being a league, the play-offs become as worthless as the old Premiership was.
What I don't understand from Wilkin is this has been the way since 1998, and for most of rugby league's existence. I have no problem with players having opinions, but when the Grand Final is a key reason we get the money we do from Sky, and, in effect, is an element in how much he gets paid, why would you talk such a major event down? |

The league leader's shield isn't deliberately devalued. It simply has very little value. It is a pat on the back for the team that happens to be doing the best part way through the competition. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Corrct it is for winning the 189 game qualifying competition before the 9 game ' real ' competition starts  |

SL is a competition that started back in February and ends next Saturday at Old Trafford. That is the 'real' competition involving all 198 games.
