it wazs defo a thumbs up

He really is rubbish. Sorry, he is.

This isn't bitterness because I was really impressed by Wakey last night. Obst, Grix and Drew were awesome, and Latu too despite his inability to pass backwards.

Atkins is rubbish?

That's right.

A poor man's Chev Walker but with additional Toby Carvery-based antics.

Atkins is more than twice the player that waste of space is.

He did not get into the England squad by being "rubbish"

Just hope at Warrington he recives the ball more often and in better positions

Why can't he pass? He's a centre, isn't he?

Hardly get's the ball so when he does he will try to do something special. If you don't get a chance to shine as soon as you get the ball you will want to do something that fans will remember.

He knows him self though he will have to work on his passing, but it won't be a problem. We don't use him how we should, i don't know why but we should. Get the ball to him in a little space he can damage teams!

For strength and go forward atkins is awesome!

If youre looking for a jamie lyon that will not happen.

He is pretty good and would be happy to keep him. we will see.

chev walker played for englang/GB

Still think Atkins is the better player! Is he still at KR, Walker?

yeah, playing 2nd row (or at least has been recently)

so atkins is rubbish..nat wood was average...your hard to please

I don't think Lefty was saying Atkins is rubbish, I just think he was asking him if he meant Atkins when the other poster said "he's rubbish"

sorry lefty my error..

I don't think he's rubbish, I don't rave about him neither.

Has got an incredibly strong carry, then sort of, that's it. You're trying to find something else positive to say, but you're stuck.

I wouldn't budge King from left centre for him, put it that way. He might be one of these players who's as comfortable on the left or the right, so we'll see. There's clearly improvement in him, and something sort of raw, explosive almost that intrigues a little bit.

Given SL is a squad game now, to go into SL with King, Atkins, Bridge & Grix as your four centre options, I'd be happy enough with that.

Chev walker was never centre material ( not unlike Ben Westwood, in fact, though Bennie is by far the better forward ). Atkins has promise, but he's got a long way to go.

Remember Gleeson came to us with reports from Saints fans of being selfish and never passing to his winger, but once our coaching staff got hold of him, he became the best centre in the league, and set up shedloads of tries for Fa'afili.

Then when he left us, he became garbage and a waste of space.

It just shows how the right coaching environment can totally transform a player.

I must have imagined that Lyon bloke who easily outplayed him for the time he was here which included Gleesons best season with us.

Maybe I should have qualified that with "the best British centre in the league"

thats better. I agree with everything you've wrote now !!!

Not that i was a fan of Gleeson anyway..Just wondering why in most of your posts you seem to be up Saints backsides..??

No im not I just aint gonna say that gleeson was the best centre if he wasnt

Are you aware that rick rolling is an instant ban?

nope.

ban me then i dont mind i can easily return

Atkins has had an average season at Wakey in all honesty. His best time at wakey was when he had Solomona on his inside. Seeing as Solo has also signed for you guys you may say an improvement in Ryans game.
