Isn't this the same John Wilkin that got Lima a ban for a attempted chicken-wing tackle last season?

if you look later on you can see he was grabbing the back of hes shorts but hes hand was inside of them and very close to hes bum. it should be investigated from the rfl.

Just one of a number of incidents - albeit a particularly vile one

- missed and wrong calls by the officials that benefited Saints.

It's typical of them that they have made such a fuss about the refereeing when their players are caught on camera doing things like this.

It's no wonder that he walked off the mark!

He probably skidded off it

Leon Pryce used to go gathering nuts as well when he played for Saints didn't he.

Bad news if Wilkin did do this especially after running after the ref last year to complain about Jeff Lima. They're a good enough team without having to get involved in rubbish like that. If Wilkin is guilty of practising braille he was probably trying to get Gaz to lose his cool, must admit it was something that bothered me before the match but to his eternal credit he didn't let it happen and long may it remain so, best thing any of our players can do is smile and get on with it no matter what tactics are used to rile them, best way to upset the opposition is to laugh at them and then they get wound up instead of us.

Could you imagine if this was Sam? Or any other Wigan player for that matter. That picture would have about 30 pages by now on the virtual terrace.

Might be an idea to start a "What if" thread there with the picture... lol

I made a comment about this the other day in the 'biased Eddie Hemmings' thread. It's certainly ungentlemanly conduct.

Maybe Hock mentioned to Wilken when he went off at half time that he was feeling a bit constipated . So Wilken being the gentleman that he is decided to give Hock an helping hand (or finger)by the use of a suppository.
But I dont think the act was done as an act of kindness,it was done hoping that Hock was going to suddenly charge off the field in a panic.
Well Wilken you must have missed.
I am going to have to go to bed a bit earlier,my immagination is running riot after a few pints of mild.

Dirty tactic. Wilkin was probably trying to make Hock drop the ball out of shock, all he ended up with was a smelly finger though.
