He was silly. It was a massive brain fart.

More galling as he's one of our senior players, who in those big, game-defining moments you'd expect to be composed enough to deliver a try.

However, bit of an overreaction on here to it. A mistake - already forgotten.

He will feel like a massive tool today so doesn't need any extra punishment.

If we drop him to 'send a message' then all we do is bring in a lesser player which just helps the opposition.

Agreed, we do seem to have 3 left centres though and no natural right centre! I think the back 5 needs a resfhuffle, personally I would go with

Atkins, goodwin, brown, ratchford, lineham

Our back 5 wasn't great last night, I didn't enjoy ratchford at FB or Russel on the wing or Atkins on the right. Russel wasn't atrocious by any means, we know what he does well and he does that well consistently but he is too limited for my liking. Jack Johnson has impressed me at FB too when he has played there so could possibly play FB ahead of mitch brown. Atkins and goodwin can swap centre and wing like King and Atkins used to.

We need to find combinations that work and some willingness to run off the ball to give options to the halves. Clark made a few breaks and found himself alone which is disappointing. It was all a little bit blunt in attack last night but save 3 or 4 brainfarts defence was good.

Think he better go with Easy Jet next time, RYAN Air doesn't really work for him

Just seen a re-run. His torso is half over the try line when he gets hit. The problem with Ryan is that he has an ego and is a showboater. I hope he learns his lesson but I don't think he will. I don't think he is that intelligent.

I would put Currie on the right centre.

He wasn't far off though!

Still shouldn't effect his reputation as one of the best centre's in the league.

To be fair to Atkins and I know it wasn't difficult, but, last season and the previous season he was one of our better players. Sure, he has limitations most players do, but, at least he looked like he cared

I kind of wish Kevin Penny at least had another season under the new coaching set up to have a good crack at it. He can score those high flying tries.

The high flying part was the problem, a low dive for the line was required.

Yes I'm aware of that.
It was a branched thought.

It was a schoolboy error, so Price should give him 100 lines

I must not be a brain dead pr1ck

I've just watched it again on You Tube,looks far worse than last night.Put Atkins in the pack ( The Rochdale pack ) and Ratchford couldn't tackle a big dinner.
