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.

No doubt he did though any comparison based on that game is going to be unfair on shenton as he only got the ball 3 (?) times.

I wouldnt worry too much at this stage. The best time to compare the two if a comparison is needed is at the end of the season.

Why not put faith in an academy product? Like Watkins or Gibson.

mcguire signed a four year contract only last season.
Sinfeild also has around 3 years on his and publicily stated he wanted to end his career with leeds, so yes it is very likely they will both move.

Because may be Wakefield need the cash.
If Atkins got the chance of a move to Leeds and the offer was right then he'd jump at the chance.

Thing is we don't need the cash. That was basically a Giants fan trolling on here and the VT, she did well and got a few bites from the snappy ones. We're building not selling, I'm not doubting Atkins would like to play for the Rhinos, most players would but I'm confident it would take a very substantial offer for us to be even tempted of parting company with him.
