I can only ever remember him at left centre when he was with us.

Yup I'm pretty certain that at warrington, Wakefield and even at Bradford, he's been a left centre and nothing else.

Which is why it was so weird to see him on the right on Saturday.

....even weirder for those Wakey fans to mention it too.
I've got the ducklings on to it.

Wakefield is indeed a great away day, the town pubs have the cheapest beer, perhaps it was this that had Atkins on the right wing rather than Wakey fans?

Maybe he’s like Derek Zoolander, he can only go left. Turning right just isn't his thing.

Atkins Next to russel should strengthen Russell's obvious defensive incapabilities and putting Goodwin inside Lineham should release tom into a bit of space where he can utilise his speed and finishing.

And before anyone laughs at 'Lineham' and 'speed' in the same sentence, I ask you to cast your memory back the end of 2016. Lineham's pace to chase a breakaway opposition player was invaluable. He did it in the LLS clincher against hull and also in the GF a few times. The lad has serious pace but with atkins inside him he was never going to be able to show that.

Leave Atkins where he is
on the left (he has never played on the right.) Swop Lineham to the right wing (where he was when he was at Hull) Move Russell to the left (where he used to be)

That's too easy.

I think the issue is that Goodwin is a predominantly left sided centre too I think...?

Re: Yesterday’s Game : Tue Jan 23, 2018 7:46 am  

I am hoping that we can have our one centre who can pass inside our one recognised winger.

When was the last time Bridge played with Monaghan outside him? 2014? That’ll be the last true partnership we had. Atkins still has to be in the team though, he’s a proven attacking weapon.

What a shame Rhys Evans didn’t kick on after so much early promise - he had the raw talent we just didn’t develop him. Maybe the new stuff going on behind the scenes will bear fruit in a couple of years. For me Toby King has no less raw talent than Oliver Gildart yet we don’t see King progressing like Gildart has.

if he can get past these hamstring issues i've got high hopes for toby, he's got a very good attacking instinct.
