I think all this anti-Atkins stuff has snowballed a little bit.

Granted, he had a mediocre game against Leeds but he was playing on the wrong side and he was up against a very inform Keith Senior.

Maybe everybody else knows something I don't, maybe everybody else has highlighted another centre who is better than Ryan Atkins. Whoever he is my hope is available and I hope we have the money to sign him.

For my money, Ryan Atkins is an extremely good centre who has some amazing attributes which balance off some deficiencies but overall he is a danger to the opposition.

I don't expect Atkins to get worse as he matures on the contrary he will only get better. The deficiencies I speak of are the exact areas of his game where experience and maturity will make all the difference.

I have no doubt that many of the so-called top clubs would jump at the chance of signing Ryan Atkins, there are many envious coaches who covert his service. It is great credit to Ryan that he shows such loyalty to Wakefield Trinity when I am sure there are whispers in his ear from agents, opposition players and so-called friends who would tempt him away from Wakefield.

I have no doubt about his loyalty, I have no doubt about his commitment to Wakefield and I have no doubt that he tries his best every time he takes the field. I'm sure he realises there are games where he needs to be more involved and I'm sure he and the coaching staff work very hard on how we might achieve that.

My last word on this is be careful what you wish for and give the lad a break.

Boooooooooo.

He doesn’t pass to his winger therefore we should get rid.

agree 100%. think his downfall on here is his percevied cockiness which seemingly makes people more aware of any errors. as for the not interested bit thats just nonsense imo

Here here

fantastic pitch clan , but im not convinced that he doesn't think hes to good for the club
