We really need a top quality prop, a class scrum half with a kicking game and a creative centre with real pace. Don't think atkins would bet the answer to our centre problems. Look at saints. how many times have jamie lyon or matt gidley won them a game with a piece of brilliance? Remember what a potent attacking threat we were with Barnett and kohe love at centre?
Problem is that I doubt we can afford them all under the cap even with the players likely to be leaving

Seems to me that all clubs will come to rely less & less on foreign imports. Visa complications prevent meaningful long term planning - several clubs have been de-railed this year - not just us.
With that in mind why not BUY Atkins from Wakey - surely we can tempt him. What about a bid for Sam Burgess ? The Bulls don't look like the trophy winning money making machine they were do they.
Chuck Richie Myler in the mix & you have 3 TOP British prospects - wouldn't break the bank & I am sure one or two would go the other way in part ex.
Only fly in the ointment would then be exposing these talents to our coaching set up - how many of us are confident they can improve amybosy ?
Second fly is clearly our board showing ambition & getting their cheque books out !!
Sadly we all know what will happen - very little !
