Lots of divided opinion on our Ryan. He scored many great tries through bullocking runs and sheer strength. I am not quite sure I remember him picking us up by our boot straps and dragging us over the line to win many games as some do, it could be my memory letting me down. He scored tries in many big games, including CC Finals and Grand Finals. But he also had his faults. None more so than charging out of the line on numerous occasions leaving gaping holes in the defensive line. Check out the second Wigan Try in the 2016 Grand Final.....One man came flying out of the line...Ladies and gentlemen I give you Mr Ryan Atkins.

The sainted Matt King did that, on NUMEROUS occasions, exposing Kevin Penny.

Just saw that aswell

He's made numerous things happen this season. He's scored 13 and his winger has scored 15.

Can’t say I’m too disappointed, I understand he wouldn’t be first choice and offers versatility, but i’d rather see us look elsewhere. Ideally from the 19’s, but given the results there I doubt there are many pickings?

I see Joe Edge has signed for Widnes, thought he was one of our better 19’s players?

So where we at regarding D.Walker, it’s gone very quiet.

Can we nab Gelling whilst we are at it.

Confirmed after the Knights tour of PNG I believe.

3 year deal with the option of a 4th.

Also rumours of Are Gardner as Jon Clarke's replacement.

Is that a bit underwhelming? Important position that and was expecting someone with a bit more substance...

Or experience. It will be his first head role.

Mark Bitcon is leaving Wigan. I do not know where his next job will be?
