Atkinson in for Trindall.

He’s been playing 5/8 and seems to be doing okay. Give him first crack, tell him he’s got a few weeks to show us what he’s got.

In the meantime, move Dykes to 5/8 for the Jets to get some game time in the halves in case he gets the call up.

Yes, but there goes all that hard “combinations” work

I'm comfortable with Atkinson coming in , I've liked the little bit I've seen and seems to have confidence in himself to play at this level .

Dykes isn’t ready imo. He’s still only a few games back and playing fullback. Throwing him in at 5/8th would be a lot at this point in the season.

Suppose a lot depends on how long Trindall is out.

I did not think of Atkinson. Seems to be logical choice.

Puru - definitely no. Don't know what everyone sees in him, average at best.

I think Fitz will bring Atkinson straight in, seems the logical replacement. Seems to have bulked up a bit a bit stronger.

I did wonder what everyone thinks of this one though out of left field - Kennedy to 6 and Dykes to 1. Would give us a fair bit more firepower but Will would have to do way more defending and like some say, Dykes is probably not quite ready at the moment.

You're not letting go of Val to 6 are you haha
