He has zero try assists this season.



Zero.



Even allowing for the inconsistencies of OPTAs statistical analysis, that's scary given one of the main jobs of a centre is to create tries for his winger.

He doesn't pass, he tries to run over defenders. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.



Still a good player though.

That much was obvious in the England game - I said before it that Hall wouldn't get a pass off him all night. Might work against hugely inferior opposition, but you need a lot more to your game at the very highest level.



Playing outside Atkins is a death sentence for a winger's career, you just don't see the ball.

who plays on his wing is it sideshow maybe thats why he hasnt been scoring

He'll do fine with Donald then.

How do you make that out, he's on about a player not the club - get a grip. Tell you know Atkins is NOT Leeds bound.

Then you don't know what does then.

On one of sky's televised games Ryan made a superb break and stepped two or three players before offloading to Luke George who scored under the posts, is that not a try assist? Therefore OPTA and their statistics have proved to be incorrect.



I don't want to be seen as pushing the case for Leeds to sign Ryan Atkins but he certainly does have decent hands but he can improve. As has already been said he has good footwork in front of the line and this helps his power game when busting tackles. You rarely see him brought to ground quickly or by one defender.



Ryan is still in his very early 20s and is IMO ahead of Ashley Gibson or any other Leeds three-quarter with the exception of Senior.



I hope he stays with Wakefield Trinity but in the long-term unless Wakefield can secure the new stadium and become contenders I don't see Ryan Atkins spending his whole career with the Wildcats.

Atkins is rubbish anyway rather stick with what we got!!

Do you get sarcasm?

It wasn't sarcasm though was it. Usual fekwitted stuff from sgtwilko.

I'm not sure anyone on here has seen enough of him to make a proper judgment on his abilities.



I've only seen him when leeds play wakefield and occasionally when wakefield are on sky.



I'd much rather hear a wakefield assesment of him.
