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?

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.

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
