ATKINS MOVE TO WARRINGTON : Wed Sep 09, 2009 10:00 pm  

I have supported Ryan on many occasions when people have been complaining about his form this season as I personally think he can be the England centre for a good few years,but after his press confernce for Warrington I am afraid that I have lost all respect for him.I still wish well at warrington but hope he has real stinkers when we play them.

atkins did say he was still a wakefield player untill the play-offs finish and he is gonna give his all as he does in every game so you guys have gotta give him some credit for that? which bit made you lose respect for him? he seems an ok lad and a great player from what i have seen him playing for wakefield.

That's called "doing my job"

I'm sorry to see Ryan go as he is a good player and seems a decent lad. Trinity will survive, Neil Fox left, Toppo left,Gareth Ellis left, and many more and we're still here.

Thanks Ryan and best of luck apart from when you play Wakefield.

Watched the interview. Nothing more than a young lad full of beans about a new job. Nothing derogatory is said about Wakefield or the staff, only a tongue in cheek comment about the ground and to be fair HJ is no Anfield!

Timing could have been better sure but anyone remember the Westwood and Wood contract display a few years ago at Wilderspool . As low as it gets.

i think people are over-reacting to be honest and to say he has done nothing for us except recent games is a bit LOLworthy.

i have criticized him at times but only because i know he could be so much better.

good luck to the lad imo

BINGO! I knew someone would mention the self-styled 'guvnor'

If he wanted to stay or the club wanted him to leave, all he had to do was think before speaking, like everyone else.

I've long thought players/coaches etc. shouldn't let supporters get too close to them...this thread shows why that can be the case.[/quote]

Not sure I agree. The accessibility of players and staff is one of the things that makes our game stand out from others. Bet you don't bump into many soccer players in Morrisons of a Friday evening, particularly ones who are willing to stop for a brief chat with the supporters.

Long may that continue.

Agreed it helps keep the players level headed when the get shot down in Morrisons

Serioulsy though i could not agree more.

Bang on, bye Ryan and good luck.

a lot of sense on this board at last

ryan said something he probably regrets but hes not the sharpest of tools really and i think by his enthusiasm shows he was not pushed by a club he wanted to stay at for ever.

agreed?

he might not of had the option as it was put in front of him at the time, and yes we are hold back a name as requested which makes me feel that it could be from a top 8 play off side

I'd like to think any club worth anything would understand a player turning down such a request due to their still having commitments elsewhere, and any player put in that position would have it in them to say no.

Before hearing about the shirt thing, my attitude was fair enough and good luck to him, but this has soured my view somewhat and just seems so unnecessary.
