There's a big difference between being "Top Tackler" and "Hard Tackler"!

Like I said, Wilkin was top of the SL Stats for tackling mid season before his injury! He could tackle someone all day and not hurt him!

Big games, intimidating games, rough games, that's when you see what's inside and TBH he hasn't disproved my theory yet!

Point taken, but sometimes it's just about making the tackle...hasn't got to be a Willie Mason job as long as it slows the opposing team and breaks up the attack.

I was and still am a big fan of Wild.
The striking thing though is that he is now going at the rate of 35 tackles a game, at Wigan he wasn't doing half of that when he played in the forwards. Mostly he played centre here and that's where I think we have missed in until recently. With Gleeson in alongside Carmont we are ok in the centre. We don't need any backrowers as has been mentioned.
Still a good player though is Wild, his time for a return to Wigan may have passed for a quite few years yet, if he returns at all.

Has there been any rumours he will go back?

Trouble with him is he has the heart the size of a pea.

Saturday showed why it wasnt a bad thing to let those 3 go. Didnt see any of them all game.

Wild to me is a luxury player, great when you're on top but not someone you want in your side when it's a really tough hard match.

Hold on! Are you sure we are talking about the same player here? Maybe he wasn't up to much in his Wigan days, but if you look at his stats since he has been with the Giants you would have to agree he has become a fantastic player and a workaholic on the pitch. I guess that Wild, Brown and Robinson weren't the players they are now otherwise you would have at least kept one of them. Anyway, I'm grateful enough....I'll just wait for the coaching staff to turn against Tomkins and we'll come to the rescue!

If we were to keep one of them it would have been Kevin Brown IMO. A very under rated player who really wanted to play for Wigan. Sadly for him and the others he came into a side with a pack that was crumbling and very little support from his new forwards.

Lol at this intended dig that has gone badly wrong.

There's only Briscoe I'd want back; but Phelps is doing a great job at the moment.

SR is not a problem area at Wigan as some people have said, but who would complain if we brought him in for next season?

Maybe SR is not a problem but he could of been a great centre and we had problems with that position for years.

Looking back Briscoe and Wild would of been good to keep, but decisions were made and we didn't keep them, get over it, it's not like we had a say in the matter.

One more thing though, if any other club had let young players like that go they probably would not see good young players like that for some time where as Wigan have them coming through every years and just look around super league and see how many x wigan players there are.

My thoughts exactly.

We’ve got a good young team that has shown it’s potential a few times this season and the longer they play together the better they will become.

IMO there are plenty more positives than negatives at the moment and our future looks a lot more assured than some other teams.

I think he has proved to be a decent signing for Huddersfield but you have to give a lot of credit to Nathan Brown who seems to have really got the players working well together as a team, particularly in defence although as Brown said himself a number of players didnt perform on the day on Saturday and semeed to let the occasion get to them.....i was suprised to see Earl Crabtree with the camcorder prior to the game, he hardly looked focused and just looked happy to be at Wembley.

During his Wigan days i thought Wild always looked promising imo Danny Tickle seemed to offer more at that stage of his career and i was more disapointed that Tickle had to leave more than Wild.

the only one id have back is briscoe but under the circumstances the lad wanted first team rugby and he wasnt going to get that when super kris was still here.

brown could of been big at wigan but he was in the squad at the wrong time- he had a half back partner who was possibly the worst half back to play for wigan and he also did not get the propper break through he seemed to get thrusted into first team action.
