Who's this then???????

You wont get them, were defornatley keeping them, they have potentiol

He buys his meat in Gledhills of Stanley, thats all i can tell you?

Could a name to throw in for possible centres be Karl Pryce??
I have never liked the guy to be honest, but he has all the attributes to be a force and fits the bill for a Wakey/John Kear "project"
ie done reasonably well early on in there career, then gone off the boil and is probably looking at one last shot in Super League ala Bibey, Moore, Wilkes etc
Not sure how much money he is on, and although he has played a few times for Wigan this year he is far from a regular and you would of thought could well be available.
Like i say, never really liked him (not sure if this is down to there kid tho??) and always thought he looked decent as he was playing in a good Bradford side but he just seems like the kind who JK could do something with.

could be worth a shot, but as you say the money has got to be 100% right

As far as the salary cap goes if atkins was to come to wire then it would be a direct replacement for martin gleeson who left earlier on in the season, he would have freed up a big amount of the salary cap, we did not replace him hence why he brought in brian carney as cover , but he will be leaving at the end of the season and also paul johnson is going , therefore the atkins transfer does seem likely , also to whoever said before they wouldnt mind grix or harrison , there is no way we would let go of harrison as he looks a great prospect however , surely either simon grix or chris bridge would be part of this deal as both are half backs who have been playing centre all season and with at least one halfback coming in with myler then one of them would be leaving imo :/

atkins to wire is not on the cards, as far as im aware

Maybe to us.

Hope not! In the games ive seen him play this season he's been awful at centre/wing or wherever he plays. If we signed him it would be just another second rower IMO

Hope not. How is he any better than what we already have. Was ok a couple of years ago but now shot.

Wigan have had it on their board that he is going to them at the end of the season , and he said that he wants to go back to wigan to end his career

I spent an afternoon with JK, before he became Trinity coach, we watched the Wakefield V Bradford game at Belle Vue. It was the game where we kicked from a scrum inside our own 20m area and Paul White skinned Pryce to score a try.

Suffice to say that JK was'nt over impressed by KP before, during or after that game.

Indeed. Though comparing to White in speed terms is a bit unfair, he has been potentially good everywhere he's been and never done it

John Kears response to the Atkins rumour!!
