Why should he? Wilkin nearly finished Deacons career. Paul Forber, Sunny Nickle, Paul Davidson all thugs. Loved by Saints fans.
Enforcers are lived by their own fans hated by opposition. Most if us are drawn to the game because if the gladiatorial element of it. Every now and again it spills over. It happens. Move on.
Go watch t & p or football if you don't want to watch players push it to the limit, and pushing it sometimes means you step over it. It is part of what gets the passion flowing.
Terry Newton was a great example, loved by Wigan hated by everyone else, signs for Bradford, loved by Bradford and Wigan. Signs for Wakefield loved by fans of all 3 clubs. Lesson to be learned? Most fans are fickle blinkered morons.
Wilkin ... An enforcer? Really? ... Really? Wilkin is a great many things (and was prone to acts of stupidity when he was younger) an "enforcer" was never one!
Like Wilkin, mm is drawn to these moments of stupidity, however, as time went on, Wilkin grew out of them, where as if anything mm seems caught up in these incidents more and more.
Enforcers are good for the game, I agree, but nothing in that 12 second clip was to do with enforcing, or being tough or any other positive spin. Stupid at best, reckless at most probable, and thuggish at worst
He's the typical Maguire/Wane grunt. An average player and a thug lacking in basic intelligence. Newton was the same, utterly pathetic in the 'enforcer' role, never playing his cards at the right time and just becoming an utter liability.
