We are not blessed with many wingers, Sio and Chamberlain have fitness issues and Sio and Inu have one year left on contracts- whoever we do get as a backup winger would definitely get a chance. Also rumoured to have signed Williams, Kear and Shaw so, if all true, Ince would be looking at reserve for a while I reckon Yes Williams is a done deal but Kear and Shaw are still rumours as far as I know - if we signed one of them I’d agree chances would then be limited. Was just throwing it out there anyway- no idea if we’ve even looked at him or if he’s good enough.

London red - I have no idea if he’s any good or not or how likely it is either. Just chewing the fat really

More than happy with Atkin, not sure if he will be the starting #7 but an excellent addition to the squad.

Atkin has played 9 mostly for KR this year but doesn’t fit our current rotation (too small to soak up the early tackles and won’t replace Lussick). Maybe he’ll be more of a utility- coming off the bench to add some pace down the middle.

This suggests we are also going to get Greenwood from KR.

I can't see him coming here if he hasn't been promised the 7 shirt

I’ve not seen loads of Atkin and what I’ve seen has been mostly at hooker. He looks like he’s got plenty of pace but I have to say he’s been fairly anonymous in most games I’ve seen him in whether at hooker or half back. He doesn’t strike me as an organising half - more of a running half. He is a bit like a quicker Josh Wood or even a Richie Myler. So I don’t think he can replace Hastings, brown is much more suited to the organising role.
All that said he is in the England Knights squad so must be doing something right that I’m not seeing. And, more importantly, Watson appears to really rate him and I trust his judgement way more than mine!!! I am more than happy to give him lots of chances to show that it’s Hull KR that had no idea how to get the best out of him and that Watto will give him that freedom to play as he has with Tui and Hastings

How many times have we as fans been less than enthusiastic at incoming players? Only for them to make us eat our words. I'll hold my hand up to be one of them. I really didn't like Dudson as a player. He's come here and been outstanding. I thought Burke was one of the most unfit lazy forwards I'd ever seen. Been outstanding since he come here. I'm absolutely comfortable to eat my own words in this circumstance. Watson and the backroom staff have a wonderful habit of bringing the best out in players. I have no doubt that Atkin will probably flourish under Watson. Just as Burke, Dudson, and Tui have done. Salford seem to have created a strong self-belief in its players. It's infectious and spreads all around the club. It boosts morale and bonds everyone into a tight-nit unit. The backroom staff deserve a lot of credit in turning around perceptions of the club being a bit of a retirement home, and turning it into a club that players want to play at. Where they can throw off baggage and enjoy their game again. That stuff is priceless.
