IMO Wilkin has been the best and most consistent player for the last couple of seasons.

Roby?

Don't start Rogue's on that one. Roby's "just a scooter" to him.

I've never said he was JUST a scooter hooker, but he does do it more than any other. It's not my type of rugby and I've been saying that consistently for years, especially when Higham was at Wigan. It was no coincidence that we started scoring more tries when he left.

Sure, look I can see why you prefer the more creative type to just a scooter - as MM's 1 try and 0 assists this year makes an underperforming Roby's 4 tries and 11 assists look positively pedestrian.

And MM's legendary defence leaves Robes in the shade too, what with MM makng half as many tackles but missing 4 times more of them than Roby.

Oh for a change at hooker at Saints

Love it when Rogues is put firmly in his place!

You see you'd miss him if he was banned

Another loss, to then be followed up by another Loss against Leeds.

Can't see them pulling anything out the bag. They will get a bounce against London, but as we found out that does not help against other teams.

I can see them dropping to 8th this year.

Pow.

I was wondering who would spot that.

Obviously I am to credit for motivating them.

Well called

Does this put our performance last week in a better light? I didn't think they were light years ahead of how they played against us - though players who didn't play against us had big games (Bailey in particular, who looks a more physical, stronger form of Wilkin)
