Well I suppose its got to be between Atkins and Ratchford realistically. Ratchford missed the first 5 games of the season whilst Atkins has been not far from ever present and was a lone beacon of hope during the season in general. It was not just his strong running and the physicality of his try scoring, but also the work he did running the ball in against the opposition defence. Ratchford is pure class and I loved that 25-30m pass he made to Patton against Catalans last weekend that eventually lead to a try. But my vote has gone to Atkins this year - IMO he has more than earned it.
