Have to agree, looks like a very good signing for us indeed...roll on 2010

you say that as if you have never seen him play before?

A lot of non wire trolls on here seem to forget that TS is both his new club coach and his international coach.

Given the amount of players that we had carrying injuries last season and still playing, I'm sure that TS would be more than happy to have his new signing get himself 100% before the start of next season. Plus TS's contract with England runs out soon but his warrington one is for the long term.

i have a feeling that atkins will play winger. i don't see why we need to move king to the wing, he's found some decent form in the centre, and i reckon TS will continue him there. Can atkins and king both play there, possibly, but bridge has also been very good there. if you looked at our backline, its fairly strong and atkins will have to work hard to get into it. i think, and again its harsh on him, but it will be riley who gives way for atkins, at least at the start of the season. so, my backline to start would be..
mathers - fb
atkins & hicks - w
bridge & king - c
briers & myler - so/sh

thats what i would go for,with the opition of Riley playing full back if called upon

Don't see him week in week out, only the handful of games that Wakey get on sky, lots of Wakefield fans have slated him...all I was saying was I've liked what I've seen of him this season. That ok?
