Wrong to slate him so soon into his first season with a new club, however on the flip side it you can't say the opposite. Nothing can be judged after just 5 or 6 games. Remember Hull won their first five before the wheels fell off. Things could fall apart for Wigan, Wire or anyone else up there.

I will publicly eat my own trousers if those two teams are not challenging for honours at the end of the season.

one thing about Atkins - he is a great athlete. short, but very powerful, great leg drive. in other words, exactly the type of player the club should be signing, in contrast to one or three individuals who have worn the jersey in recent seasons.

Saturday showed the team is fit, and has more petrol in the tank than recent seasons. however - a word of caution. Man for man, on paper, the Wire squad is way stronger than Bradford, Bradford have ;downsized' quite dramatically and no longer have many real star players. Warrington really should be beating teams like that without too much difficulty.

Mark, word of warning, you've made outlandish comments before (ie "Cullen will win siverware for us etc"icon_wink.gif. I'd retract the comment and keep your troons if I were you

Oh be quiet.
One good game doesn't mean we should be bowing at his feet the same way that a couple of poor games doesn't mean he's garbage.
He'd make a better winger anyway..

Agree with you Dico, he's definitely a winger and could be a very good one if he fulfils his potential.

People talk about his England potential, if he is to play for England, it won't be at 3 or 4, mark my words.
