| No brainer this one, get him signed up now. Best centre we've had for a good few years, other than Domic I don't think there has been anyone as good for us in the SL era.

TBF I think Atkins was better. Not going to bag the lad because he left, he was damned exciting to watch if a bit raw.

Atkins was more of a battering ram though - probably down to how we used him to be fair, but he usually ended up trying to smash his way through defenders rather than beating them on the run like Collis. The reliance on Atkins' power was demonstrated for me when Millard arrived and we tried to use him the same way, and he was unable to deliver - hence we never really saw his 'magic' in SL until he went to Catalans.

Atkins was good for us no doubt but as you say very raw and very one dimensional at the time. For me Collis is the better all round centre, or at least more of a finished product, during their respective times with us. Atkins these days though has gained more aspects to his game and has bolossomed at Warrington.

I am of course referring to the Atkins of today who I believe is better than Collis but he would be as Atkins athleticism is a rarity - in terms of technique I agree.
Richard also agrees with me as he always does

| Anyone questioning the ability of Collis after tonight needs to reconsider what sport they're watching. You could tell he was class last season but now he's proving it.

Tbh it's hard to get my head around anyone who says they haven't noticed him much, he's got the skills to pay the bills.

| it will be hard to push him out of this position for our young ones coming through, Cowling and Walshaw look good but at this moment but Dean is making his new contract look like a must.
I was disappointed when Millard left as I thought we hadn't seen the best of him but Collis is just class

| As previous posters have said, definitely the best centre in years. For me he just get's better every week, looks very classy and that offload pass to Fox he has in his locker, absolutely awesome! It's a no brainer, get him signed.

Was a nice little offload to put foxy in for his first - but we have seen precious little of that sort of thing before. Collis again was fantastic and we look dangerous everytime we get the ball to him, but i stand by my stance. After all, danny kirkmond put boot to ball in the first half and it wasn't the worst kick in the world but you wouldn't argue that he has an effective kicking game would you?
Well played dean, man of the match for me.

| Has been terrorizing opposition centres all year, gets better with every game, need to get him signed up for the long term ASAP.
