Can't be bothered digging up the thread, but someone was asking a couple of weeks ago why any of us thought Wilkin had potential as anything other than a grafting back rower.

Well there was the answer. I really hope after that performance he is given a bigger share of the responsibility of guiding the team around the pitch. One thing Leeds have had over us over the last few years is that they have three ball players with reliable kicking games in McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield. We've had one. Wilkin is clearly up to the job ... stick him at loose forward and get him involved.

I agree - should surely play at 13 and be part of the thteam's organisation structure a lot more, especially with Longy likey to retire in the near future.

He is a great runner as well, but his ability to organise and move the team around is probably a more prized skill at this moment in time

Exceptional yesterday, he has clearly stepped up and looks the part.

He needs to be given our deep kicking game responsibility.

If he keeps on improving, he'll be even better.
