I think John Wilkin was a different type of leader and had to become a pivotal player to link the forwards with the backs so he was open too criticism. Graham is an out and out prop forward and has very rarely had to play out of position, his leadership has never been questioned because of his 100% commitment in every game.
On John Wilkin I think the fans and that includes myself a disservice on the way he played for our club, watching all the classic games on SaintsTV its remarkable the amount of work and energy he put into the team especially those difficult latter years, a great player for our club.
