Nope, trust me, next time you watch Saints on TV, take off the saints fans specs and watch his tackling, doesnt ever make a tackle that isnt around the chops.

I'm not the kind of Saints fan who wears specs (well, except for reading). I'm perfectly capable of seeing what is what and I know that in fact you are exaggerating. But never mind. If Wilkin makes a dirty tackle then I sincerely hope he gets tonked for it as I'm no supporter of dirty tackles. I like my biff clean.

Sorry, Jon "chin high tackle" Wilkin

Yeah he does sometimes get it wrong. He makes a lot of tackles per game though so I'm not surprised that there is the occasional lazy one.

Not a dirty player though.

I thought it was quite funny really as i remember the criticisms of jon Sharp's tactics about not kicking it high when the sun was in their faces. I cannot wait for hodgson to drop a kick which the opposition score from to hear the shouts of bring back Thorman


some posters have short memories and the ability to re write history in a way that would make Stalin blush

Thorman was unfortunate that he had a coach that insisted on playing him out of position every ruddy week and was unable to see this.

Bretts a fullback and at the mo doesn't look like dropping anything, it will happen as will the missed tackles, just not a few of both every game.
