I`ve criticised Wilkin as a commentator recently on here, but he is spot-on with this article:- https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... g-28678788

There’s not so many players milk a penalty in RL than Sam Powell.

I’d say we might win a few penalties now, but it wouldn’t surprise me, if after all those years at the Pies, the refs have finally got his measure.

Josh Charnley was one of the worst to do this in his time at Warrington. Refs soon got wise to him.

There was a lively discussion at half time last night with Wilkin pulling no punches regarding the lack of consistency from the Disciplinary Panel. There were further head contact discrepancies in the match last night. The time is coming for the Coaches and Players get together as a whole and suggest a way forward. The Disciplinary panel should only be looking at the issues around Red Cards.

Wilkin went ape again tonight. Mr Sky Brian Carney didn't seem to know where to look and just said "there's a break coming now". He literally had no reply, clearly someone in his earpiece crapping themselves while Wilkin tore the state of the game to shreds. And for once I agreed with the plonker. Got to feel for Tony Smith, another player on the sidelines next week and this time thanks to a ridiculous new rule. I haven't seen anyone say it was a red card yet.

To give Wilkin his due, he is expressing the opinion of the vast majority of fans, most players, and those coaches that haven`t been brainwashed by Cullen and his Emperor`s New Clothes.

I have to defend Cullen here, I was talking with a friend last night who had a long chat with him yesterday he even called him one of the dirtiest players he had known. When asked about the MRP he was told they have to follow the guidelines set by the RFL.

OK he is the RFL`s henchman then.

If he doesn`t agree with their dictates, he could resign from his cushy job as Chair of the Disciplinary Committee, but he hasn`t.
