Is he on twitter?



I think we bombard him with it asking what the hell he was up to?!

I've asked him! We should try and get something trending

If you watch the footage carefully Wilkin is so determined to keep his unusual grip on Gaz that he carefully maintains it after the tackle is finished and as he starts to walk round to the front of Gaz for the play-the-ball. As I said earlier, I don't see how Gaz was supposed to stand still and bend down to play the ball while that was going on. Yet Statler and bloody Waldorf on Sky bang on endlessly about him walking off the mark as if that were the only offence that occurred.

Just wished him well....

Do you think maybe he's looking for Hocks union subs?

This should be investigated by the RFL and Wilkin should be banned from what the picture suggests he is doing.



Will St Pete please comment on this as this is a lot worse than anything Sam or Hock did. Wilkin should be looking at a minimum of 2-4 game ban for that. Its in the same class of offence as Hock did against Wire last season.

Isn't this the same John Wilkin that got Lima a ban for a attempted chicken-wing tackle last season?

if you look later on you can see he was grabbing the back of hes shorts but hes hand was inside of them and very close to hes bum. it should be investigated from the rfl.

Just one of a number of incidents - albeit a particularly vile one

- missed and wrong calls by the officials that benefited Saints.



It's typical of them that they have made such a fuss about the refereeing when their players are caught on camera doing things like this.

It's no wonder that he walked off the mark!

He probably skidded off it

Leon Pryce used to go gathering nuts as well when he played for Saints didn't he.



Bad news if Wilkin did do this especially after running after the ref last year to complain about Jeff Lima. They're a good enough team without having to get involved in rubbish like that. If Wilkin is guilty of practising braille he was probably trying to get Gaz to lose his cool, must admit it was something that bothered me before the match but to his eternal credit he didn't let it happen and long may it remain so, best thing any of our players can do is smile and get on with it no matter what tactics are used to rile them, best way to upset the opposition is to laugh at them and then they get wound up instead of us.
