Nosey Parker lifts most of his rumours from this forum (and by that I mean RLFANS as a whole) anyway.

Lets get that Lesley Vainikolo to Leeds one going again, that was ace.

What if Atkins wants to be a Super League winner?

He`d go to wigan, they have after all got the best team, the best youngsters, the best ground, chairman etc..superleague belongs to them..everything about sl was their idea to give us subnormal clubs a chance, in the contract it said bradford, saints, leeds can have a few yrs of silverware to lead them along before the mighty wigan revert to the top.

Atkins has always been a left centre, Shenton is playing there this season and McClennan says Watkins is more suited to playing on the left. Senior (should this be his last season which is far from certain) will take some replacing.

Wheeler looked a quality youngster at St Helens again yesterday filling in at left centre for them. Quick, explosive, knows his way to the line, no mistakes or daft offloads that I can recall.

I think Wheeler is primerily a stand off. And he just might be the chaviest player in SL

He is. It didn't stop him looking very good at centre yesterday though. He looked comfortable on the wing V Leeds at Knowsley Road also earlier in the season.

Looks a quality youngster (and not prone to doing daft plays) each time I've seen him.

Richard Owen at Castleford is another serious contender.

If Danny Brough had Gareth Hocks Tattoos this debate would be wrapped up.

excellent observation. Would be underwhelmed if we signed Atkins for the reasons you have stated and Shenton looks a better target for those same reasons. All this based upon the premise that this is a Parker rumour so therefore a pretty pointless discussion.

Saints throw a kid into the centres, out of position and you applaud them. Yet you crticise us for not going out and signing a right centre.


Maybe one of these error free quality youngster you admire at Saints can help them win a Grand Final and our calamity prone fill-ins this year eh?

agree, seen that lad play over the years from the age of 7 or 8 always looked class, although he bleeds Cas Blood Leeds should have snapped him up as a youngster.
