What is happening with Atkinson at the moment not even getting a run in cup? The Sharks have really fk’d us with his development i hope he hits the ground running in the off season i hope this doesn’t bite us.

Atkinson isn’t in Sharks top 17 unless there are injuries or suspensions. If was good enough, he’d be playing, they’re in a premiership window and trying to win the comp this year.
I think it just is what it is, he’s just on the fringe of their first grade team and has been used accordingly.

At this stage of the year I actually don't mind as it minimises the risk of serious injury.

I think he's arguably a better 14 option for them than Puru but with Brailey playing 80, they are playing him because Atko isn't in their future plans.

Just my opinion...

Uele from the Sharks would be a very good pick up.
I would also look at the young front rower from Souths .
We should let Guler look for a club in Super League

Depends on expectations I guess, I think we have hired a handy young player that seems quite versatile. Similar to signing say Kurt Mann for example.
Definitely not going to move the needle on wins vs losses like signing a star would. But if you signed 3 or 4 “handy” players then it may.
If we only sign Atkinson for 2026 then nothing will change.

Agreed, he's good but he's not Superman!

Ray Stone is a good player but we need a front rower, we already have plenty of back rowers. Averilo is the player i would like from the Dolphins.
FFS Ando please get us a descent front rower and halfback and a speedy back. And another thing let Guler go to super league.
