Apparently we have signed Daniel Atkinson. Think he was the Italian bloke everyone was talking about at the World Cup?

This article from October does seem to suggest we were interested in him.

The photos the Sharks uploaded of him training with our squad earlier this week support that

He's a halfback.

 

[Thresher]

Didn't know he was a Fanta pants

He's a halfback.

Played centre for Italy though

And I guess centres are just wingers who can't stay on the line...

Mmmmmm

Yeah he did. We are learning that lots of players get put in spots in the wc that they don't normally play...

He's 100% a half. Played a lot of 6 in 2021. Mostly 7 in 2022.

 

[Thresher]

Mmmmmm

Where do you stand with the curtains not matching the carpet?

I think he's ok with a shaved head and a big red bush.

What would happen if you dropped in a Mentos?

Nope, both have to match....

I think he's ok with a shaved head and a big red bush.

.....except in this scenario.

They rarely do, only met 2 in my life

I know it's not possible salary cap wise but imagine getting him this season!

If rumours were true we were after Klemmer, we must have had something there. I'm not sure exactly when the pay cycle starts, but it also wouldn't be out of the question for him to have already missed a third of the year.

So my wishful thinking math could look something like 400k available for Klem. Rts on 2/3 of 900k so 600k. I reckon we might be able to find another 200k with one of the minimum wage spots being taken and the other spots left open for a while to save cap space.

Sign him up!

Fair point, pay cycle starts 1/11 so yep 33% of the year is gone.

Man that would be massive.

Where did he play for the Storm? Halves?

Would all depend on how long he wants to hold out for a world cup birth. It's not till September.

I don't follow Rugby, I go to bed if I want to sleep, so no idea if he's a realistic chance of being selected.
