Quote: Wire Yed "Versus Leigh, i thought the Evans/Lineham edge was going to rip up SL, I'll be honest most of our attack isn't going that way, i don't think Evans is at fault, his defensive reads are fantastic, he has to stay for me, if we go doen that channel more i think we'll have more success.'"
Evans and Atkins to me seem like similar players, except Atkins scores more tries. Both don't seem to be natural rugby league players, they're both athletic/strong which means they both tend to put good shots in defensively.
I don't see Evans being a long term centre, just doesn't have the awareness, passing ability or skill for that position, plus doesn't have Atkins ability to break tackles.
