Round 25 - DRAGONS vs Bulldogs at SFS (Sat 7:35pm)

Sorry mate have to disagree, Atkinson has got nothing of what we want at 1 6 or 7, there is just no evidence of him doing anything when he has had chances. Lets face it he was just one of Flanno's pie in the sky recruits like Lawson.
I do agree with you but in saying that the poor bastard had very little 1sts games in 24/25 especially 25 after he signed. It was always going to be very tough on him as a player to miraculously become a 7 game manager. In any job you should do your traineeship first.

Yeah I think so Morgs, even the young ones were starting to look a bit dusty. Its a long season and they have been doing a lot of work for no result. Both physically and mentally.
I don't think they would want a break.
No way in the world they will want or will get the last two games off. But yeah, I think especially the Couchmans have been playing a lot of minutes in the middle. Could maybe give them a bit less in the remaining games.

A very long season is starting to show on some of our young forwards who were bettered yesterday by the Dogs. Very rare mistakes by the Couchman's but still good signs being shown by LPT especially even Egan try saver was a highlight
This 💯% is the truth.
These guys have been playing long physical minutes which has caught up with them. Expect the same in coming weeks.

Totally disagree i think a good buy didn't show as much this season but need to keep him for next year wasn't
bought to be a seven but like the rest of the team struggled need to move on flanno if possible atko will be much better in a improved team next year not sure not why we got watson though.

I think you have your opinion, but Atkinson was not our answer to anything, why would an improved team make him any better at his own basic skillset, he has shown nothing in any position we have put him in. Some of the errors he produced last game were diabolical and directly led to try's. Just keep an eye out on how he gets found out again this week.
