| 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.

| Ryan Atkins made a good positive contribution in that game and scored tries that Evans would not. Lineham and Westerman were quiet. Also Penny is now cementing his place in the side.

As did the rest of our team for the first 50 mins - I think we can call the first half a write-off for everyone.
When the team finally switched on, and in a game where the conditions didn't suit our backs, Ryan was head and shoulders above Penny, Evans & Lineham.
Massive thumbs up to him this week and hope this carries forward for him now.

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.

Atkins may 'score more tries' as he's made far more appearances than Evans. Atkins has strength and athleticism, but in terms of awareness, passing or positional skill Evans is well ahead.

| Quote: Thelonius "Ryan Atkins lack of 'form' certainly seems to be helping to take the focus away from Rhys Evans. Other than a fantastic defensive performance against Leeds what has Rhys brought to the 'party' this season? At least Ryan is scoring trys!'"
I thought I was the only one thinking this.. Defence from Rhys is superb.. Attack is very mediocre from him so far .

| We won, but i'm sure if Sims hadn't scored the last try to set up the grandstand finish then quite a few players would have come in for criticism.

| Atkins is a simple Centre, and plays best when he can play a simple game. He's not a Watkins who can create something for himself from nothing. He needs Sandow/Currie etc to create those openings for him. Because of his sheer athleticism, he only needs half an opening to get away. When he's playing with confidence, he's a very good centre.
He's back to his form circa 2012.

| Taking his chances well. Long may it continue.
As I've said many times on here, before, attitude counts for a lot in this sport. I never saw Morley disinterested in many games throughout his career, hence he spent his time at the top of his game. I've seen Atkins have months, if not seasons, simply coasting, and we've (quite rightly) let him know the fact.
Play to (and try to exceed) your ability, you'll go far.
