As WRE has alluded to, Atkins can be devastating near the line and is strong as an ox, but I feel Shenton has the better centre credentials regarding feeding his winger & positional sense when defending. But after watching the match in France on Saturday, I thought of the two, Atkins had the better game.
Maybe the jury is still out, but, the one who stays loyal to his current club will receive my admiration.
