[QUOTE="ALJ, post: 818955, member: 74322"] He should be a more than useful tool, yet somehow it isn't working. I guess it depends on what you mean about getting over the gainline - he doesn't get pushed back but nor does he get beyond the first line of defence (by that I mean they take him down at the point of contact). True enough on the off-load point but shouldn't every player be able to do that? To be fair to him, there seems to be a broader malaise at Gloucester at the moment and maybe he's just suffering from that. I'm not his biggest fan but right now, Twelvetrees should probably be starting at 12 and Andy Symons seems to be cut from the same cloth as Atkinson (their vital statistics are remarkably similar) so it will be interesting to get a look at him when he's fit.
