Awesome.



14 years in the team is a long stint.

Great news for us didnt see it coming but great move by the club

Is he worthy of a statue

I'm chuffed with this. Our captain once Wello hangs up his boots?

Yup, he'd make an iconic figure outside the ground. Given how small KC is on the turnstile, there is no reason we couldn't add further players.



A Wilkin statue would have to be elevated otherwise it would be victim to dry humping.

Before Rogues appears, Did he support Wigan Lodgers as a lad?

He was a Robin.

And Jamie Foster was a saint who played for Blackbrook but didnt stop you claiming he was a wigan fan as a youngster and played for haydock or something along those lines.

Foster was a Wigan fan when he was younger, although I don't know what that has to do with Wlikin being a robins(HKR) fan.



His parents had a pub just outside Hull, I went in a couple of times when I was over there on business.

But Foster WAS a Wigan fan when he was younger. He has said so himself, publically. I'm sure Makinson was a Wigan fan too (and probably still is), since he's a Wigan lad. Any other claims though will be rubbish.



As for Wilkin's new deal, I think this is great news. He was outstanding in 2011 and had a great Four Nations campaign. He's also a very good ambassador for the club and for the sport. I hope he goes on to have the best four years of his career.



I wonder if the RL media will make as big a fuss of Wilkin signing up for life as they did over Sinfield last season? I doubt it like but it will be interesting to see if they do.

Very well deserved. solid player and quite a good ambassador for the club.
