I believe I have been saying that for a very long time. Your engine room holds the keys to the ignition of your car. If it doesn't turn on then you can have the flashiest car in the competition but it won't be going anywhere.I do hate the way halfbacks get crucified for a team loss, or paraded for a win.. it really is a team game and there are soooo many factors that influence the halfbacks game.. its all about space and time.. where they get to kick..how much time they get to execute the kick.. how good is the chase..
I think the raw ingredients are in Atkinson, but I hope he turns out more than just good.. I think he has that winners instinct in him also.. love that he moved down to the gong also... hes all in.
Even the best hb in the game was made to look ordinary last season when his pack failed to deliver him the necessary time and space.
Ill say it again, Forwards win games, the backs decide by how much
