As with all these stories, only time will tell.

I don't know anything about these signing rumours, but I've spoken to him a few times around Pudsey and I know he's a big Leeds fan, and has been since he was a kid. He has a gaff in Pudsey too, so maybe that will play a part in any future transfer.

As for going the length of the field; didn't he skin Senior for a long range effort at Headingley in the season he joined Wakefield?

If thats what you say then I'm very inclined to believe you. Any news on Brough? Some saying hes about to sign a two year extension, others saying he's on his way. If we can keep hold of Atkins and Brough it will send out a statement of intent, even more so if we can add a couple more quality signings to complement these two for next season. would be nice to keep Drew on for another year also.

I can't make my mind up which player would suit leeds the best,shenton or atkins?
I'd settle for either, or both

Stick with Gibson pal he's a great player, Atkins and Shenton are dog turd!

Both would cost you quite a bit of money

Shenton is the better centre for me he as the skill and guile he as the potential to become a great centre some thing of a dying breed now Shenton at centre with the raw power of Atkins as a winger both in red white and blue

Yeah he was a Leeds fan growing up but he loves it at Wakey, we gave him his chance and he is more than greatful for that. He still think he owes us a lot. He would not go unless Wakey said otherwise.

Yeah that try was one of the best he has scored to date, think that was when he burst on to scene and people sais "the kid has something special"

Normaly agree with what you say, but please don't put him on the win. In academy at Brad he was played at wing a few times but I think centre is where he belongs. And for the people that say play him in 2nd row, well I think he would be wasted there. Although at times he is wasted at centre seen as he does not get much ball. Look at Wigan, he Lato and Peto looked great together.

Does Atkins have a sell on clause in his contract?

IIRC we only sold him for 10k so thought he may have a sell on clause added to the deal
