How much have we missed this lads 40 odd tackles a match?

How much have we missed his clever lines, and extra option in attack?

The past couple of weeks have shown just how vital a cog he is in our armoury.

That must be where Slick's missing "D" has gone

Can't wait for him back, still very underated by some fans

I think he's more underrated by opposition fans. Wilkin is a very clever and hard working player who gives us a Scully like option in the back row (like an extra half back)

Signed for Toulon hasn't he? Errrr hang on.........

I would say he is the single most improved player since Potter arrived. He seems to have discovered a whole new area of his game which wasn't explored under DA. Definitely having his best season since 2006.

I see what you did there.

He has been missed indeedy, even when he runs with his carpet slippers on he still helps us out. Fair old injury list ahead of this Friday's game, could do with "slippers" getting back on the pitch asap.

I've always thought much of Wilkin but I saw a whole new him at the Leeds CC round this season. It was like he had been released to be himself. Two 40/20s in one match. I still can't get over that! He and Pryce teamed up brilliantly. Not that they'd be like that every week if we had that combination as a regular feature, but I think it did both players good and it was really refreshing to see him just burst creatively all over the pitch. I loved that match.

Yes he played well against Leeds.

What other games come to mind of him playing well?
