His first half of season was quite poor but second half we was actually quite good and improved. If we get that version I’m more than happy for him to stay. He’s also a big unit which we need.

A season in the Championship might be what Atoni needs, whether he'd then be worth the quota spot should we return to the top flight is another thing all together.

I walked passed Atoni couple of weeks ago In trinity walk. The lads an absolute unit. He started to show his promise in the second half of the season, with some really good performances. I’d happily keep him for the championship.

I’m not surprised he wants to stay, most clubs have already got full overseas quotas. Maybe if he’d have bent his back a bit more during the first two thirds of the season he’d have had more options.

I hope Atoni stays . He needed time but stepped up towards the end and should continue to get better.

Exactly, let’s not forget Whitbread was poor and largely anonymous last season for the first half. Atoni moved his family over and probably took some time to adjust and needed a spark like Dave Fifita to make him realise he can actually do some damage down the middle.

He is a unit and if he puts in performances like that second half of season then he will be amongst the best props in the championship. He’s about to hit a props prime years too.

If we can tie down Tanginoa then with Griffin too we will have some punch in the forwards. Be nice to find a quality loose from somewhere.

Once he stopped copying Proctor and followed Fifita's example, he was excellent
