gone quiet like last year..is it me ??

Surprised he hasn’t been linked with a move away from the club.

TBF the whole team's form has took a turn for the worse.

Still dosent get enough of the ball in areas he can actually run onto it. I think the outside backs have had very little ball in hand in attacking areas to do anything with. When was the last time any of our wingers scored a try through a pass / walk in ala ainscough. Or our centres gone in in the corner i.e. gidley, yeamen, shenton - not just kick throughs on floor or high cross field kicks. Need to spread it imo

Off the top of my head, Blanch V Wigan.

Both scored from kicks.

Do you think our wingers / centres score enough try's in this way ?
'or' score on average the same amount of try's through this method as other teams?

Maaan time flies, when was it when he scored of a JD pass?

That was Bradford, ironically the same game which Atkins broke the line and rounded the full back.

I think the reason we score so many tries from kicks is because all our creative plays have quality (mostly) kicking games and sometimes we rely on it too much!

Brough is probably the only player who occasionally does something different.

Saying that though, i can't remember the last time i saw Brough dink over the top and try to reclaim it...used to do it a bit last season and sometimes it came off!

I know what your saying but there is a a Vince Lombardi quote to answer this, "In all my years of coaching, I have never been successful using somebody else's plays".
I think we play some nice football, and I believe its effective how we play, and suits the Wakefield players.

Is there anything this guy hasnt said


We do play nice football, but for me all that matters is the result and that method is usually an effective way, but if we cant pass the ball quick enough outwide then fair enough.

For me atkins only seems interested when theres a sniff of a try and he needs to improve his defence imho.

drew tries the chip now and again
