Quote: Gaz_E "Atkins - Took his try well, showing great speed. I thought it was Penny that scored it initially. Still suspect defensively for me, and better sides will exploit us out wide. He's not the smartest of players, as seen when getting both himself and Penny bundled into touch early in the count. A better player off a short ball where his speed and power exploit lazy edge defenders.'"
He still comes across as ball greedy at times to me and he tries too much to go on the outside, and a lot of the time he gets put into touch. There was a discussion at the game about whether TS should look to maybe get Atkins bulked up and get him in the pack, ala Benny Westwood as he kept doing the same when he came over from Wakefield.
As for Penny, I do hope this is the start of a long run in the team for him. It will shut a fair few people up, though no doubt even after a great performance yesterday, if he even concedes 1 try against Hull on Friday, people will be calling for him to be dropped and start calling him crap. Very fickle bunch are Warrington fans, especially when it came to the likes of Jon Clarke, Mike Wainwright & Chris Riley.
