Does it matter who is better, Atkins or Shenton? The point is that Atkins plays in a Wakey shirt, and as long he does well in those colours, I don't give a monkey's nut about Shenton. If Shenton decides to cross Heath Common, then I will begin to care about him.

The best thing we can hope for is that Keith Senior still plays well, because Ryan would only go, I imagine, to improve his prospects. Playing for Wakey has got him in an England shirt. Playing for Leeds reserves won't.

Unless Leeds buy him for a big six-figure sum, then loan him to us until Senior retires, with Leeds picking up the tab, and then we use the money to entice Shenton to Belle Vue.

Your skint and the camp is upst I hear lots of issues with wages and the uni pull out is Smith the tip of the ice berg?

Even though their supporters rave on about their academy set up – don’t believe the hype.

I didn’t realise W.T.R.L.F.C’s financial controller posted on here

If Atkins got the chance, yes, the offer would be right, for the Wakefield club.

I guess you didn't see the may be.
