As some will have seen I asked about your opinions on Wilkin on our board. Thought he was superb today, really stepped up and controlled the game for you guys. Hats off to him.

I just fear that's the end of the CC this year now with you guys having a stroll to the cup, with Hull out today as well looks even more likely.

Congrats guys, it'll have to be next year for us now.

Congarts guys, it'll have to be next year for us now.

I don't think it'll be a stroll but do feel there should be some kind of seeding to stop a big team going out at this stage (other than a giant killing of course).

I`m definately a meli critic but he took the high balls well today.

Had a few heart in mouth moments with his long passing near the line but he was commited and thats all fans want to see.

Wilkin has come into good form at the right time

Oh, I think there are one or two teams out there who could knock us out, especially if our form drops (as form tends to do), neither of which is Wigan, obviously.

Wilkin was fantastic. Those 40/20s were outstanding. And who would think that we would have a player who could kick two of them in one match!! I couldn't believe it.

Looks like Mick Potter has been reading the Meli threads and put him on a crash course of bomb catching!

Credit where it is due, Meli had a great game today.

well do to the two of them brilliant. I have always liked wilkin but i do not think 2nd row is his posistion maybe LF instead of clough?

Even Mike Benno was sensational for us on Sunday.
