Anyone else think wilkin was outstanding last night. Carried the ball well and tackled like a demon. Also offered a ball playing role when required. Best forward on the pitch for me

I had Thompson and Taia as our outstanding forwards, Wilkin looked fresh and determined to keep his shirt, on that showing he looks better than Knowles who will want a starting position as well.
We criticised Wilkin a lot last season, on last nights performance we can see he,s got something to offer, hope we get the same again next week.

I though he was very good. He still has plenty to offer in that more limited role.

Every player looked a cut above for this first game.

Peyroux was chasing Roby for top tackler.

What a difference a coach can make.

He looked much better with his new role in the side. No captaincy and no pressure to be playmaker of any kind. Almost certainly his last season but I hope he keeps that up and can finish on a high
