If we talking after round 7 or 8 it might be a point worthy of discussion. Until then we need to let the lad settle in a bit. Thought he did ok on Saturday. Once the pitches start getting firmer I can see him doing well on the outside of Briers,Myler, Monas.

In reply to: Slightly Disapointing.

Was Really impressed by his defensive effort. The whole warrington team look big and physical. Don't remember him getting the ball in attacking positions so it would be unfair to all him dissapointing

Once settled in this lad will be superb. His defence is good. It might just be that his previous club worked the ball to the left side more than the right, whereas we move the ball to the right more than the left - Simples!!!!

lol @ this thread, its laughable. Ryan Atkins has just arrived at a new club where he has new surroundings and new team mates, on the pitch he`s had one and a half games of which one of them was played in a down pour where it wasn`t the sort of conditions for expansive RL.

I would expect him to come into his own when we get better conditions, he will get quality ball and quality space once the weather improves, Matt Gidley when he first signed for saints was a bit ropey until he settled into his new surroundings and got used to his team mates along with the different set plays that each club has.

Discuss.

Nothing to discuss. You are daft as a brush. And must be watching a different game than others. Is Smith out your next topic??

Re: Atkins : Tue Feb 16, 2010 7:36 pm  

I was sorry to see him leave BV, but feel he'd gone as far as he would with us. He's got the physique to be special, but is not a antural passer of the ball and sometimes wanders a bit defensively. What he has got in his favour is a great attitude, and if he can learn from Tony Smith et al you've got a bargain - good luck to him and (to a lesser extent) to Warrington, my favourite team on't wrong side o't'ills!
