Wilkin gets a raw deal. England’s stand out back rower (they fell apart when he went off in the final) but probably the least rated. A great playmaker, dangerous runner and a Trojan in defence. He gets overlooked by his own fans at Saints so what is the chance that people outside of St.Helens are going to take notice.
Remember it is not who will be the best player, it’s who is the most popular. Wilkins has the ability to string sentences together without saying "ye know" or "meert" every other word, or to not just give "we completed our sets" as the answer to every question. Therefore he does not have the Forest Gump lovability of a Peacock or a Westwood you need to be popular.
A none starter for MoS sadly.
