    Absolute tosh, Wilkin 59 tackles! That can't be far off the SL record.

    Wilkin A Total Liability he can flop all night long but he gives far more away than he contributes.

    Wilkin was class all night. Kicked well too. Vea is just a pudding. KC has fed him up to play prop. Switched off for Ratchford try, he's terrible on the line defensively.

    If you want to criticise someone, Roby is the way to go. Kick out on the full, big knock on, stupid kick on third tackle on the line. That said, if anyone is allowed a shocker, it's him.

    Vea absolutely stunk the place out. The speed at which he ran onto the ball was that of a man who knows he's being shipped off to Leigh next year (hopefully!).

    Spot on about Roby. Crap decision making for such an experienced player (and not for the first time in such a big game).

    Vea out and out worst player on the pitch by a mile. Looked like he'd been dropped on the pitch from being fast asleep.

    Roby had a nightmare of a game, need to be looking now for a hooker to sub him and eventually take over.

    Has Wilkin been offered a new contract? Im sorry but hes not good enough for all his effort. As for Vea you cant blame a player who gets brought on after 60 minutes. Dont see the point of doing that.

    If he gets and England shirt ahead of Clark and Hodgson on recent form, it's a farce. Not that he's been terrible (other than tonight), but those two have been class.

    It seems so, but Saints haven't announced it. KC has talked about next year with him in team.

    I am not a lover of Wilkins but anyone who said he stunk the place out tonight is way out of order. The effort he put in tonight was there for all to see. Vea, well he was quite average.

    Not sure why we even bothered with four subs. Richards only plays 20 mins (and he was solid) and would have done a better job than Vea coming on.

    Wilkin give it his all. I love Robes Lomax and Percy but our X factor players didn't really produce. Vea just a cheap pound land signing.

    A GOOD coach doesn't flog his best players to death. Cunningham has managed him terribly in recent season - but hey what he doesn't know about rugby isn't worth knowing (the Pr1ck)

    Have you now changed your disdainment from Wilkin to Cunningham, because it didn't suit your argument.

    If I remember right, Roby had a stinker at LP against Leeds in the CC a couple of years ago after being rested the game before. I guess he is one of them players that loses his rhythm after a week off & doesn't benefit from a rest.

    Pardon? I made a statement about his efforts in attack if you'd bother to read it.

    I am however negative were both are concerned.

    Please tell me how i've changed to suit any argument.

    Do you honestly believe A) Cunningham is a good coach & B - Wilkin did ANYTHING in attack??
