Not comparing them at all.
Just pointing out that certain elements of his game remind me of Bateman.

Sorry for the confusion I wasn't referring to your post but an earlier one from one of our most popular posters which wasn't too complimentary about Turgut.

Sure I read a rumour on the wire board that Atkins is looking for a way out of his contract (probability total BS).

If we're struggling to find a bulldozing winger would be be worth a look? Keep Michaels for another year and have a back line of:

Shaul
Michaels/Griffin
Atkins
Carlos
Talanoa

Atkins has obviously got his limitations, and isn't the youngest, but would maybe fit in with the Radford mould: big, strong, good average gain

Not for me, Connor will be centre next year.

Willie Tonga released by Leigh with a view to looking to move to another super league club....past it / injury prone or worth looking at for a year if he can prove his fitness whilst we look for other NRL options / allow Logan to develop for another year and be ready for 2019?

Not sure we need a centre TBH, particularly an overseas one, our first choice centres should be Carlos and Connor, with Griffin and Logan as back up.

Think we need a winger.

Also we might have this French lad who is a utility back.

Even if we are looking for a centre, Willie Tonga should be just about last on the list.

I'd have Lineham back is they are looking to release someone.

Lineham can finish buts that all he can do.his average gain from back field is terrible

Ayyyy for a big lad he doesn't run his weight, plus at Hull he never stuck to his touch line when defending..... although this may have improved
