I think Atkins is being suggested as a second rower because he can be very effective when he does the simple things i.e. until he tries to pass the ball! He is an impressive athlete even if not a natural rugby player.
I believe he could be a very effective second rower if he makes the switch sonner rather than later.
Regarding playing people out of position, the coach's job is to put the most effective team of 13 on the pitch, if he feels that, for example, Currie is the best option to play centre in any given game then I'd support that. As a previous poster pointed out, depending on game plan, the difference between certain positions can be very subtle.
