Quote: Offside Monkey "I think Atkins lacks too much technically both in positional defending and ball handling. He's a big, fast guy, but not a great centre, if you follow. Exceptional physical specimen, though.'"
I've always thought he do a good job on the wing at international level but that route has been down for him with the emergence of terrific young wingers like Charnley and now Lineham. We've obviously got Ryan Hall as well.
