not buying into all this coach costing a player his place in the england side. A coach's job is to pick a team that he thinks will win his club the match, the coach's wont be giving a seconds thought about international games, and rightly so. If the player is good enough the national coach will spot his talents and pick him, thats his job after all. just sayin like

| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"Atkins is one of my favourite Wire players but he would be out of his depth against the Aussies, so would Bridge, so would Riley, the only Warrington players that I think could cut it in their respective positions are Morley, Carvell and Westwood.
Much as people on here hate Martin Gleeson that's one of the things that marked him out from the competition, Gleeson played well against Australia, better than the likes of Senior, Connolly and Newlove ever did, so its a shame to see him stuck without a club now because he was a rare British outside back that had actual international quality.
In fact since the start of the SL era I would only say Robinson, Carney and Gleeson have been up to the Aussies level in the outside backs.'"
I disagree. I think with Inglis injured and the wrong selections at centre to replace him, centre is the weakest position in that current Aussie 4 Nations squad. Atkins has got better and better every week and, for me, was the stand-out SL player in August and September. His defence is now very good and he's realising how big he is so has got an edge with ball in hand. I think he'd do well in this 4 Nations.
I agree with all the rest of your post. |

Considering he's the most improved player in SL this season and was up with the very best performers in the competition on the last few months, I'm glad that will happen. If you can't see Atkins is now a very good player the you're too bias/bitter to comment.'"
Improved from what though? McBanana has obviously seen enough of him at international level to know he won't cut it. |

| Quote morleys_deckchair="morleys_deckchair"he wont fail because he has easily been the best centre in SL this season.
by an absolute mile.... and you wish he was a Wigan player..... because he has been leagues above carmont and joel tomkins....if he played for wigan you would be having wet dreams about him.
he is so much better than anything you have its almost laughable.'"
Did your mam wipe the dribble off your chin after that? |

In the England squad it lists O'Loughlin who has ruled himself out through injury. Roby, Ellis, Reed, Heightington & Chase aren't listed.

Ohhh look, Suzy's back, after her self imposed exile, after the Worriers 'drybumming' by Warrington in early Sept
fyi, Tomkins J, would get shown up by the Aussies (particularly at centre), as I believe Atkins would, along with several other England players. I'd LOVE to be proved wrong though, over the coming weeks. |

If he is off to RU, don't pick him in the squad. Simple.

Atkins' international record speaks for itself, looks good against the whipping boys and looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights against the bigger boys. Akin to his SL record this season, really. |
