I think we all knew that.

Makes a change from him crying about tv cameras in changing rooms.

Wilkin crying to the press straight after a GF that sounds familiar. He might have a point about Bailey but that is childish also.

Someone should have a word with Wilkin and explain there is a way to behave in defeat as well. Sadly he has form for this kind of thing and he has really let himself down.

Oh dear, another post-Grand Final whinge from Wilkin. He should take a leaf out of his team captains books. Both Graham and Wellens showed dignity in defeat, comforting obviously devastated young players and acknowledging their opposition. I only saw Bailey whooping and celebrating with other Leeds players and towards the Leeds fans. Bailey is obviously a pillock so can't rule out him doing something a bit silly but unfortunately, since it's Wilkin who's come out with these comments, it does just read like a bit of a bitterness after another loss to Leeds. If it had come from someone like Wellens or Roby I'd pay more attention to it.

What he says rings true, but his timing is ill-advised.

2008: "[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/7653071.stmBoo Hoo! Leeds players were wooping in the tackle and there was a camera in the dressing room![/url"
2009: "[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_league/7653071.stmBoo Hoo! The game was too slow and they watered the pitch![/url"

As usual he does his talking through the press instead of having a go on the field.

He's correct that Bailey is a tool but it takes one to know one.

After the Warrington v Leeds game Bailey ran over to the Warrington fans goading and whooping and after a few second Jamie Jones-Buchanan came and dragged him away. The guy is obviously a bit of a tool, as this was completely out of sync with what had been a tough fair game between two sets of players and fans that clearly had a lot of respect for each other.

Having said that, Wilkin doesn't need to make the comment, and the timing has let him down. The four nations squad dynamic might be interesting if Bailey gets in there.

may as well say it now, than wait to put in his autobiography when he retires.
