[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 818927, member: 74322"] Meakes ran off to Western Force. Can't really blame him I guess but it sticks a bit as we gave him his chance at the top level. Purdy is very promising I think but he's feeding off scraps at the moment. I know what you mean about Atkinson looking promising but he's 26 now and just hasn't kicked on imho. For a 6'5" 17st player he should be an aggressive defender (doesn't seem to be) and a lot better at the crash ball but never seems to try it, instead he relies on his (poor) sidestep and rarely makes ground. Doesn't seem to have a kicking game, can't say as his distribution looks anything special and seems to be running through treacle (all kinda weird when he supposedly started out as a 10). Maybe he's just struggling for form but If so, you then have to wonder why he's starting over Twelvetrees. [/QUOTE]
