mwildcats..take the blinkers off..he can't pass to his winger and he can't tackle..give me tony martin anytime. that bloke is a disgrace to the shirt..especially this year..he was crap last year and is worse this year..can't wait for him to be well away.

He should be dropped after that performance ...

If Tony Martin was fit, it would be interesting to see how he would react to being dropped.

probably wouldn't give one..take his wages and walks away.

Well ive put a thread on the three quarters keeping there place place on performance and not reputation ... John Kear has said i cant drop Atkins after playing for England ... Well can he drop a player after playing against Senior ?? TBH id get rid of Grix on the wing and get Murphy in now - I feel for Grix but hes leaking in more points than hes scoring and doesnt work well with Brough...

i agree with that he got skinned by Ablett(?) for the first try in a manner that suggested he shouldn't be playing there unless absolutely no option to. murphy to me gives a viable option and one that should be taken

it makes no difference which side he plays on he's over-rated and lazy on either

Maybe I am wrong with this observation but can anyone recall Atkins tackle anyone by the legs?

Just feel that Atkins thinks he is strong enough to wrestle opponents down but Senior just swatted him away.

I don't agree with this bit. I think Grix is playing very well. He has taken his tries very well, especially the long ball from Brough. Don't see why you think they can't play together at all. No evidence to suggest that,

If Murphy is to come in, then he plays in the centre instead of Atkins for me and leave Grix where he is.

Can't agree with that Grix is not a winger he's made a decent fist of it attacking wise over the last couple of games but in defence he has no idea as he is not a winger.

no way should grix be in effectively over atkins that is madness. ok atkins slipped up against senior at what turned out to be crucial times but he has been playing pretty well in most areas of his game (i accept his winger tends to get starved of ball). grix on the other hand is a liabilty in defence and has been pretty much found out every game he has played on the wing. the effort is there he just isn't a winger.

as for this atkins not putting the effort in it is nonsense imo, making mistakes yes, believing the hype - maybe/maybe not, but not trying i cant accept

Wasn't actually saying we drop Atkins at all, just that IMHO Grix is doing well at wing and I wouldn't replace him with Murphy.
BUT as people are pushing Murphy bescause Grix isn't a winger, we should be aiming Murphy at the centres not the wing spot as that is his preferred position.
Think I rushed the last line of my post and explained it poorly.
