Quote nathanwood7="nathanwood7"Re the Atkins had a terrible tour last year comments. Let's not forget he only actually played in one test (v New Zealand). It's not as if he has had several chances and has always failed to shine (like Sinfield for example). He's improved a lot and has been by far the best centre in Super League this year in a team which has been by far the best team, and his omission from the squad is puzzling, although with Warrington only providing 3 players to the squad then maybe there are some others who may feel unlucky too.'"
He's a decent Super League centre but, looking at it from an international perspective, is very ordinary.
PS - if Warrington really were "by far the best team" last season, shouldn't they have won something meaningful (and not the league-leader's hubcap consolation prize)
PPS - the only winger available to England with any sort of specialness about him is Charnley. This 4N probably too soon for him, but if he continues the sort of progress he's made this year, he'll be a shoe-in for England in the future.
