shenton... i thought he was going to be a good signing for saints. he isn't fit to lace Atkins boots. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2011 infact i cant seem to find any centre in the league who's stats are better than Atkins. Atkins is the best centre is superleague.

This could get tasty.

would you like some of my popcorn?

Atkins alongside King seems to bring the best out of him.

They had a great game against Bradford at home last season and looked unstoppable but for some reason Smith split them up after that game until this season.

Best of a bad bunch maybe, very athletic and runs hard thats for sure, suppose highlights the lack of quality of SL backs.

chris bridge stats take a big shat over george carmonts. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2011 we have the 2 best centres stat wise.

TANCW was wrong about Clarke. Clearly.

Going to need more popcorn.

Agree that Atkins and Bridge are arguably the best 2 centres in the league. The only one that comes close IMO is Carmont.

But what about other players you've been wrong about?

For me I didn't think Carvell or Solomona were going to be good signings, just shows how wrong I am.

TO me, i think they signed him cos he was available and a reasonable 'name' he's certainly not a strike player that they needed.

Best centre in the league, yet once again he came from Wakefield

Players I was wrong about (going back a bit)

Andy Currier
I thought he was going to be total gash.......you can guess the rest!

he was worse?

why the question mark, Cat....I'd have thought the answer was crystal clear.

To stay within the swear filter boundaries, let's just say Currier was "sewage" (for the benefit of anyone under the age of say, 25, who didn't get to see this "master" ply his trade in P&B)

Edited.

He is actually from Leeds

Michael Monaghan.

I remember the pre-season friendly vs Wigan when he was brilliant with bullet passes out to the right and Bridge was playing at full back in Hodgson style. Then, Monaghan had a great start to the season - 3 MoMs out of 4 matches I think and then got injured. When he came back, he was very sloppy, giving intercepts all the time and his kicking game had disappeared. I then got a real downer on him right up until the Challenge Cup Semi Final in 2009. He's not done too badly since then....

i`ll admit sam tomkins never thought he would go to the level he is at now...still cant stand the cheating orrible little scroat..by the way for what its worth he is still some way off from being world class..

Patrick Ah Van. I thought he was gonna be complete and utter gash. But fair play, he's brought the 'Volcano' excitement back to the Bradford supporter's this season.

Brendan 'baby face assasin' Tuuta. When we signed him I thought Christ no he's a penalty machine who'll spend more games banned than on the pitch. imo he worked his socks off at Warrington and changed my opinion of him. He could still whack people but his tackling and effort was first class alas in a crap side.

Morley. I thought he would be spent. Turns out he aint too bad a player at all.

widnes are lucky to have secured the services of such an exciting and commited player.

I can't believe this thread isn't 6 or 7 pages long already, with people admitting how they truly thought getting rid of Richie Mathers for an aging Brett Hodgson, was a huge error....
