Now that’s just been silly. As I said it can be but into a deal when the clubs agree to delay the announcement until the end of the season.
No, what's silly is believing that Atkins had to wear the shirt - a foolishy thing to do which he could have refused to do while under contract elsewhere - something which always riles people up and he certainly didn't have to say anything which could be construed as derogatory against Wakefield, neither of which, I imagine, it would be 'silly' to think would be in his new deal.

As I’ve said I don’t exactly like the Kear comments and I don’t think many will but other than that I don’t see much wrong with what Atkins has done, but hey ho it’s another reason to have a dig at him
It's not a dig. He's, potentially, a very talented player - a good bit of business for us and Warrington. What he didn't need to do was say what he said about his current employers. That's just being stupid, especially when you think that without the backing of Kear, he may still be languishing in the Bradford reserve side, or even worse, the first team at Odsal.
