I reckon Flash could match the tackle rate if he was given the minutes. Ant Walker certainly has.
Flash has more skills than perhaps we give him credit for, but for me, those abilities are not as important as being able to lover someone real hard. Back rows need to be hard and I feel that is an area Wilkin lacks.
I think that's a big call, as has been said in the clough argument, being able to do high workload in short spells is one thing, over long periods is a whole other story. Ant walker but is no where near ready to be a consistent challenge to either Wilkin or flanaghan, not to say he won't be though in the future
I like flash, and he will no doubt get plenty of game time, but Wilkin has gone from one of the most over rated a few years ago to one of the most underrated. He's a jack of all skills type of player, but his constant and tireless effort sets him apart, which is why I would always pick him before flash. That said, I wish he'd accept inevitability and follow in sinfields example and make the move to 6!
