I thought Atkins looked a bright spark for you, and did cause us some problems at times, I think though the scene was set when after a bright start and you forcing repeat sets with some smart kicking you opted to take two points when at that point you had us under the cosh. It showed a lack of confidence and we jumped on that. A couple of unlucky for you /lucky for us tries and the tables were turned.
What you need is a running hooker - Lunt isn’t that and never has been. With the squad you have you are going to struggle to play to your strengths with a passing hooker.
I’ve not seen the game and I’ll likely save myself the time and pain.
However, despite taking long overdue efforts to remedy the situation, we’re back to playing with an underpowered pack again, thanks to injury. Which is dispiriting to say the least.
A bit like the year we signed Poore and Langley, but about 5 times worse right now.
