Do you really think that Bridge and Atkins are International class centres?

Surely what you're meaning by that is would they get in the Aus side?

Otherwise the answer is yes, they are currently in the England side.

Atkins isn't is he? Thought he's been dropped since he played papp last year. Think he'd be a good international winger mind.

I think Bridge is quality btw.

i couldnt give a stuff about shenton..... carmont doesn't have better stats then bridge or atkins though does he?

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:24 pm  

Carmont vs Bridge - Carmont has more metres, carries, twice as many tackles, more offloads, fewer errors & penalties

Carmont vs Atkins - Carmont has more Assists, metres, carries, tackles & offloads.

He certainly does, and his winger scores tries by the bucket load.

As Phil Gould said about Atkins "the lad can tackle all right but he can't defend, he's totally lost!"
