I think Atkins will move to the pack in years to come but am not too sure where (second row/Loose forward)
We dont seem to use our centres like other teams as a pivot to give the winger space or as a foil to provide deft passes into space but as said earlier more as a battering rams.
If Smith and his coaches can get Bridge back to his best form he'll do us grand and he will be back in the starting 13 I believe. Smith will then need to fit Ratchford in somewhere, he wont be happy sat on the bench and I dont think he will replace hodgson just yet either.
Could Smith bring back the Harris switch from full back to pivot in some matches? May need to to get the best out of his charges?
