What are your views on Wilkin? A few years ago I thought he was a fututre star but having seen him over the last few years he doesn't seem to force himself into games and make a great impact?

Ive had £200 on Leeds with minus 2 at 10/11.

I think he is the St Helens version of Sinfield, wherby your own supporters rate him, but opposition fans dont. He is a grafter. His work rate is second to none in SL. He is also a very intelligent rugby league player. If he had the pace or phyiscal prescene to back it up, he would be the best back rower in england. I for one rate him and can see what he brings to the team.

so does that mean as an opposition fan you rate sinfield?

I rate him, he's a very intelligent and astute player. You only have to read/watch any of his interviews to realise how smart he is. He' also a grafter. Does alot of of unsung work and is spending more and more time on the pitch. I think he's an 80 minute man nowadays. Seems to love marketing his own face alot tho......as good a player I think he is, Im fed up of seeing him now

I meant in general. I have read countless posts from non Leeds fans who dont rate him. O Loughlin is twice the player Sinfield is didnt you know??

Personally, I do rate him because I can see what he brings to the Leeds team.

would you say that O'Loughlin is a wilkin/sinfield type player? rated by his own not so much by fan's of other club's?

i rate wilkin as a good quality player in that particular saint team he gets loads of space to do his stuff not sure he's in the great form of the past?

I dont think O Loughlin is in the class that Sinfield and Wilkin are. From what I have seen of him, he is defensively sound and makes decent yards, but doesnt have the attacking flair that both Wilkin and Sinfield have or the rugby brain of those 2.

That's because you've actually played the game.

Care to explain? Is that opinion, rumour or fact?? I doubt the latter

you keep doubting it my friend

Did Watkins or any other member of todays 19 play in the reserves yesterday ?

Thanks

Todays reserves:

Leeds Rhinos: Jones-Bishop, Collins, Ratu, Watkins, J Broughton, S Brown, Moore, Ambler, McShane, Hardbottle, Worrall, Manning, Allan
Subs: Fox, Clarkson, Chandler, Lawton

Good to see Worrall's back, another forward which we really do need.

worrell is also a lightweight.will not improve us whatsoever

Hats off to the lad, really stepped up in Long's absence.

I write something good about the lad and then he has the game of his life!...


To be honest Jon Wilkin did exactly what i thought he might have done against us and full credit to the lad...

Fair play to you both for admitting it


Can't stand it when fans or coaches refuse to see that they were beaten by a better team,
Regarding SL, just wish it involved a few more teams being able to consistently play well, maybe then we'd have a competition!

I don't buy into this tiredness at the end of the season theory this time either,
it looks like Potter is going to be playing a lot of the young lads in more matches to save the big guns for when they're really needed.

Might just swap you the League Leaders Shield for the SL Trophy this time around

Credit where it is due mate...
That would do me i'd be £50 richer from my St Helens supporting mate!...


No i'm joking of course, The Grand Final everytime!...

Awwww and I've just rearranged the trophy cabinet to accommodate all three!

Only kidding.

Nice to see the banter between the fans is more good-natured this time.
