I’m expecting unless Wigan sign at least 1 more Prop that Kilner will be a big part of their plans.
With both Burgess and Clubb still at the club and their injury issues I don’t think they would dare let him leave as they are already pretty light on Props of you factor in those 2 lads and their lack of availability.
I didn’t know Kilner was a Wakefield lad. Interesting to see he is a Normy lad but played his junior rugby as Oulton which is a bit odd, maybe wanted to get on Leeds’ radar.
Either way from what I have seen of him he has a massive future in the game, and whilst he may be available on the odd 2 week loan here and there through the season I’m not sure that does us any good.
If we don’t manage to secure a permanent signing I’d prefer us to hold out nerve and wait for someone to have a fallout midseason or keep a close eye on the lower leagues for a lad performing well and in their more senior years.
If we can’t get the man himself a Battye type signing mid season could be a very shrewd bit of business.
