I have just finished listening to the Out of Your League Podcast episode with Morgan Knowles and had to laugh a few times at the ignorance of John Wilkin in his effusive praise of Saints. Before I start, I must say that Knowles seems an outstanding individual and I am glad we will have him in the England side against the Aussies and Kiwis in the World Cup.

However, according to Wilkin, Saints do not have a single weakness, the only thing that can stop them is injuries or poor future recruitment decisions. Oh, and the best one he came out with was that Morgan Knowles has already surpassed Sean O'Loughlin .

Whilst Saints again are favourites to win the GF, I think all the other sides in the league have to remember they have won the last two Grand Finals via a fluke last minute try and scraped a 2pt win in a fiercely contested game. What I will give them praise for is their consistency, no other side can match that week to week IMO. But, in a one off game they are not as far ahead as some people would have you believe.

Wilkins is clearly trolling, there is no way he could actually believe all this BS, he is early in his tv career and clearly has to make outlandish comments just to get noticed.
Please chaps, take it with a pinch of salt and DO NOT FEED THE TROLL

O Loughlin was a very able clubman but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Hes no where near the pedestal wigan fans put him on.

Jon Wilkin is correct

I admire your persistence on these boards, I really do. It’s an incredible commitment to trolling that has never and never will be rivalled. I have this vision of a strange, loner of a man, in his 40’s/50’s, sitting in his mams spare room, in his teenage mutan ninja turtle pyjamas, with posters of Shane Cooper and Sonny Nickle on his walls, thinking of what username to go with next. I’m convinced I’m not far off.

Never change

How dare you! He's clearly more a Power Rangers type of guy

Ninja turtles indeed.....

I think he's that muppet who cuts out bits of red tape to stick them on his van telling everyone how much he hates Wigoon with his H8 WGN reg plate.

I generally find Wilkin to be pretty good as a TV summariser, but he was clearly trolling here, fine a player though Knowles is.

Another weakness is their assumption that they are unbeatable and very well may bite them on the ar$e.

Summer is pushing it, he’s probably got a couple on the go already.

He’s great on TV summarising games but horrendous on that podcast. I now only listen to it when it’s Wigan related as him and Mark Flanagan chat irrelevance just to hear the sound of their own voice.

Leave him alone, ignore him. All you're doing is giving him the attention he craves!!
