He was superb. Things could have gone pear shaped when Wheeler went off but he took on the job of directing the team with great maturity. If you add to that the immense amount of defensive work he's been putting in this year you've got to be impressed.

I think the accusations of him mincing around like a superstar have been firmly dismissed.

He linked up well with Pryce and got his usual shed load of defensive work. Another great game from Wilkin.

But ... but ... he can't be any good because he doesn't make eight busts a game, score four tries and complete eighty tackles with no misses!

thought his last 2 games have been good, last nights far better than against leeds. Keep it up hopefully he will.

Recently Wilkin has been knuckling down and focusing more so on grafting rather than trying to too much fancy work. Yes, he still does his bit with ball in hand, but hes now putting in the work as well, and hes a better player because of it.

Class will always out and Wilko has it in bucket loads. He is, however only one poor game away from a 'return of the knockers'.

Yeah recently. Wilkin has been class this season for mine and doesnt get the credit the performances deserve.

otherwise known as imbiciles who seem to think that because he isnt as good as one of the best GB players of his generation (Scully) then he must be pap.
