some players get fed up of being sat on the bench and fed promises week in week out. the kids looking for first team rugby and by what i have seen of him in the past and today, he deserves it.

**EDIT**

BRIAN NOBLE wasn't prepared to give Atkins his chance, McNamara would have done had he been in charge at the time. Atkins wanted to be given a shot over Ben Harris, and Noble said no, hence he left.

SOURCE?? Ryan Atkins!

Yeah your quite right, Noble never seemed to like Ryan for reasons that I wont post but some silly ones.

He said in the paper he wants to be playing first team and getting picked above other players at Bradford he only plays when others people are injured

Yeah me too, but early doors yet.

I'm not saying he doesn't. All I'm saying is that the arrangement suits everyone as it stands.

Bradford have hardly shot themselves in the foot again, as was claimed. They hold the player's contract. If he's really so much better than what they've got, they get him back, match fit to boot. While we have him, he sets the benchmark for the other wingers at the club.

I can't see a loser in this arrangement, even if some people would like to see an argument.

Give him a few games, albeit he played v well and took his try's well and defended well, however when we have peterson, george, and murphy fit do we really need him ???? imo no...

Dave Halley is a bloody good player however because British Rugby League is obsessed with second rate Aussies/Kiwis, he is out on loan.
Bradford's loss is definitley Wakey's gain.

Exactly right and never more evident then today, phelps ahead of goulding is a disgrace. Noble is doing his best to ruin goulding.
