Breath of fresh air last night for me on sky, talks a lot of sense about the game and comes across very well - I would take him over the chuckle brothers Barrie and Terry any day of the week - Can we please have him every week?

Indeed and despite being from Hull, you can understand what he's saying.

As long as he doesn't start interviewing players during the game on the field of play.

That needs leaving to Robbie too weak to put my foot down and not take my wifes name Paul.

True that’s one thing sky should not copy it’s crap

Totally agree. Makes RL a laughing stock.

Trouble with Wilkin is....he tends to take over, hog the exposure, often other guests don't get a fair crack, he's a complete motor mouth no doubt auditioning for career #2.
That said, he does talk some sense and is a welcome departure from cliche time fillers.

HAHAHAHA!!!
GOOD ONE!!
HAHAHAHA!!!

Poor man's Gary Neville, loves the sound of his own voice.

Wilkin’s great IMO. Sounds good on the BBC and on the podcast he does with Dave Woods

He would be no good for wakey, he said last time they are a horrible team to play, he has never liked WAKEY but then everyone has likes & dislikes !

He's excellent on TV.
BBC have in my opinion a better production team than Sky now.
Sky could do worse than poach Wilkin and make him the sole side kick like Stevo was to Eddie.

I thought exactly the same....

why not lets break the mould of employing ex Wigan players and have a saints commentator instead

Yes indeed Wrencat I'm from Hull and often have trouble understanding what I'm saying and talking about.

Wilkin is very good though think he might have been brought up in a village outside Hull rather than Bransholme hence his eloquence.

Would make sense to give commentators a 2 or 3 year contract as you would a player. Would keep it fresh as however eloquent, it gets harder and harder to deliver fresh insight. As indeed Jon Wells may find as he transitions from a breath of fresh air to a gust of stale wind.

He’s articulate but every sentence he comes out with is a cliche. Still better than everyone else currently. That said, sinfield also came across very well on TV

Yes was it not thorngumbald I lived their for 11 yrs before I moved down south

I fear we may have passed the point of no return.

Let's hire John Virgo..... then again maybe not, when it comes to rugby players people might misinterpret "wheres the white going?"
