Atkins is marginally ahead on a few counts but Walker is ahead for the vast majority - some by some considerable way.'"
Think you need to compare Walkers stats with a similar club (ie Hull KR) than his Leeds stats and see how they compare. I know he was a developing player at Leeds but he was at a team that was challenging for titles and cups and therefore I would expect his stats to be better.
