He's been spotted at BV several times this season - and last night, Tom Johnstone tweeted something about him being in great form...

I think he's coming home - and the Harrison situation will be part of the arrangement.

I know it's tempting to nitpick but Atkins would better than anything else we are likely to get in the centre.
We should snap their hands off if he was available.

And if not I'd look at Yeaman too

Atkins in and Hall out is definitely an upgrade if he did come. Get in another half back and I'd say that would be the backs sorted for next year.

A couple of years ago, I would probably have taken Yeaman, but at 33 I think his best days are now behind him to be fair

I just can't see how we could take a first choice player, who is still under contract, from a club like Warrington. Jordan Cox possibly, but not Ryan Atkins.

Well apparently Kallum Watkins is on his way to Wire so they'll need to make room to accommodate him.

Wire would be crazy to take a long past one season wonder in place of Atkins.

Apparently it was a figment of my imagination seeing Bill Tupou score a try similar if not even better than Atkin's. Additionally Lynne has scored tries of that distance. Of course would love Atkin's, but why denigrate our existing players?

I'd take Atkins at centre ahead of Tupou all day long.
Lynne, although a player who most people like to have a pop at, has been
one of our most consistent players this season.

Like most, I cant see him coming here but, it would be great to have him back.

I can see where you are coming from but I think Atkins is a step up from both. That said I am a big fan of Both Lyne and Tupou.
