Quote: lefty goldblatt "But we already have a second rower, (Currie) who, despite all his good qualities, doesn't exactly overexert himself, when it comes to tackling.
Should we have Atkins packing down next to him, we'll have 2 second rowers, dodging more work than a Scouser.
It's a no from me'"
Ben Currie who only four of your players have made more tackles than this year?
I think Atkins is probably more suited to playing second row than centre now - strong with the ball, decent line runner, but not much in terms of decision making or passing, and he's getting slower. If you can't find someone to take him off your hands it'd probably be your best bet rather than keeping him at centre, but it would probably only be as cover rather than him being first choice
