If we have signed him he is not, at the moment, a good enough wingers centre but that could possibly be dveloped. However he is big, strong and quick and has a good scoring rate. Sounds ideal as a left winger to me.

If you get him Enjoy viewtopic.php?t=421631&start=0 And this was before any rumours of him leaving were leaked.

Why does the England coach have to be English? If there's someone more qualified it doesn't matter where they're from. This attitude is akin to that of the jingoistic England fans that would have preferred Sam Allardyce to be manager of the football team ahead of Capello.

I don't think he will be coming to Warrington, that article is mere speculation. Two more things, I doubt he'd cost us that much if we wanted him, and Wakefield are still a small side who will be very fortunate to retain their Super League place in 2012. Don't be surprised to see Halifax and Widnes replace yourselves and Salford.

he now has british citizenship as maurie at stains toa kohe love etc

We'll see.
No-one gave us a win in SL let alone seeing the season out, and that was over 10 years ago, if super league could get rid of Wakefield it would have done so years ago, we are one of the strongest producers of RL talent and have one of the best youth systems around! better than yours thats for sure, all we lack is the stadia. Sir Rodney Walkers on the case and don't be surprised if things move Very fast in months to come. Then who know's we might be able to get the likes of Matt King- oh no wait... he's CRAP!!!!!!

Buzz off dung beetle.

You lot paid for them porta-cabins yet?

What a fantastic pic this is mate

It should be a caption contest though with posters guessing what Carney's actually saying to King!



Go on post it you know you want to

I don't think you need more than one stadium you know.

Widnes and Halifax have decent stadia, which will put them ahead of you when it comes to the next round of applications. I'm a big fan of traditional grounds such as Wheldon Road, Headingley even Knowsley Road etc. But Belle Vue is probably the worst I have ever been too. Almost all uncovered. and this is West Yorkshire not Southern Europe. The grandstand has about 4 rows of seats, even Lee Briers can kick the ball over it, and those ridiculous council flats at one end of the ground. Added to that the giant "comedy" Wildcat in one corner - Gooooo Wildcats!!



It makes Wilderspool look like the Bernabeu.

Its all about opinions and i am totally behind Tony Smiths judgement of a player, he has brought him into the England set up in the last year and can only get better!!!
There are not that many good English centres around and this lad has all the attributes to be a TOP CENTRE!!! Only 23 too and with smiths coaching will only improve!!!!

I'm sure Atkins has his faults as a player but I'm also sure he'll improve massively under our coach.

As for his current abilities, I'll take Tony Smith's opinion over a load of toothless, bitter simpletons from Wakefield.

I say dat dere Atkins is the darn worst purlaya in the whole wide wurld of soopa league. Yes sireeeeeeee.

In Wakefield that would be considered an advanced lifeform.

Loads of the people there have those big klingon foreheads like Danny Brough.

would love to see say that to danny's face

Yes you can imagine danny getting really angry and going for a headbutt but as he motions his head back to land the blow he will just topple over due to the weight of the upper half of that huge cranium

ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE IN NL1

maybe Gary Skentlebury could ask Tony Smith about this at his next video interview?

Rather have Rowan Atkinson!

Why? What's he going to do? Batter him? SEE YOU IN COURT BROUGH!!!

Me and JWP had the opportunity a couple of seasons ago, but we were too busy laughing our heads off at Ashley Klein tripping over on a set of steps. icon_smile.gif

Headbutt his kneecaps.

Aye, true.

Joking apart, he seemed a nice bloke as much as someone can in 5 seconds. Standard family man really, quite chirpy etc.

is he gonna bar them from the waltzers?

have you actually signed him or just creaming yourself's over the posability of signing him?

(like myler)

English? No Yorkshire tripe here please.
