One of the most obvious statements I've ever read on here!

You're right Sheldon. Maybe put Lynch in for Harrison.

Widdop / S Briscoe T Briscoe L Smith Bridge if fit, if not Shenton / Widdop Hall / Goulding. Don't think Hall has been particularly impressive. S Tomkins McGuire Morley Roby Graham Ellis Burgess Sinfield
Pryce Harrison Scruton / Westwood / J Tomkins O'Loughlin

I said it at the start of the year and I still believe it to be true; Atkins will never make a top class centre and unless the guy learns positional sense and how to put his winger through and not the touchie, he's just a great athlete with no natural centre skills. I can understand the debate between Gleeson and Bridge, personally I'd take the latter being much younger but Atkins?? I dont know what game some watch.
have you actually seen atkins play for warrington this year?
Tomkins-He has been far better since his switch to fullback and is a better option than the pedestrian Briscoe and the reasonably untested Widdop
Briscoe Gleeson-Had a good season for Wigan and based on stats and what i have seen Gleeson seems superior to the likes of Shenton and Yeaman. Atkins may be worth a try though Bridge-Provided he is fit should be first choice centre. Hall
Pryce-If fit he is far too good a player to leave out and may help having a club halfback pairing Eastmond
Graham Sinfield Morley Ellis Burgess O'Loughlin
This pack seems to be the general consensus. They should offer plenty of go forward, offloads and skill. Sinfield must stay out of the halves but should be pretty useful at hooker allowing him plenty of influence.

Ive seen almost every warrington game this year. Atkins is not, and never has been, a natural centre. Great physical athlete, but there's certain natural elements all great centres have and Atkins has zero of them, Bridge has most of them. Decent clubman, probably had 7 or 8 good games this year but at international level.. not going to make a top class centre. He'd make a great winger internationally imo but I havent seen him play this position so you dont know. Atkins finds the touchline more often than he finds his winger, keep an eye out for it over the coming weeks.

if you've been watching warrington this season you would have seen him playing winger, since him and king were interchanging for most of the first 8 or so games.
If you're looking for as close as a straight replacement for senior, atkins is as close as you're gonna get, and he's very good in his ownright, you seem to be describing the one ryan atkins from wakefield rather than the one thats struck up two great partnerships with matt king and chris riley as his centre.
