I reckon Atoni will be snapped up by another SL club if we don't offer him a decent contract. That's if it hasn't happened already.

Atoni has no more to prove than the other props who haven't plaid SL yet.
I like him a lot.

Christmas before last I sat with him at the Christmas lunch and he was saying that his wife didn't settle at first when they got here and later made some friends and she was happy.  Might be Fafita's wife was part of this.  Some players take sometimes a full season to settle and play their best rugby.  McQueen at Hudds was terrible first season then was dream team year after.


A lot of overseas players families just don't settle and it must be hard if this happens for a player.


Also as prop Antoni's best years are ahead of him, so keep.  To go for me it's Locky or Casius, but we need to give them both time to earn a contract.  As quota's for me it's Locky to go as Powell like meters after contact on kick returns.

He had about four good games. And Fifita isn't here now so let's see how he does without him. I want him to succeed, but let's not pretend he was something he wasn't. 

Atoni had more than 4 good games last time we were in SL.
Give the guy a break - I agree he has no more to prove than our other props.

first game back is against one of the best packs in S L and Atoni went well ,and fans are saying he as to prove himself He is a good forward in a very good pack and will do is job like every body else The pack of the last time we were in S L is way in the past And think it is about time fans left it to the coaches to sort things out I can see how far we have improved under the new set up and have been proven wrong big time .If we lose today hope fans  do not   start having a go at Powell  .We have had 3 games against three of the top 6 teams in S L could have won 2 .As poor as we played against Saints there 24 points were down to our mistake and the bounce of the ball and 50/50 calls. Think there game against HKR proved we are not far behind them ,if you get a fair share of luck 

Atoni was outstanding today. Top notch performance.

Another good run out for Atoni today. A few more like than and I’ll be happy to see him remain. 


I also thought Faatili got some good minutes in today and looked fit and strong in the carry and in defence. 


Mckmeeken, Storton and Vagana were excellent. Can see Storton putting himself in with a shout of playing for England if he carries on. 

Storton is top drawer and way better than the overpaid Aussie prop KR brought over, I bet deep down they wish they hadn’t wasted their money and kept him, their loss our gain

Atoni had a great game yesterday, probably 2nd to McMeeken.  Loved his offload that led to Russel's try.

I agree on Atoni
Didn't miss a tackle either.
I'm not sure what else he needs to do for you Trojan
