Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3672846, member: 9052"] Whatever contract he signs will be for starting halfback money and at least 3yr deal... with intent to go higher at the end of it. If we went for him then you're committing to him being the Reynolds succession plan and tying your salary cap to Walsh, Mam and Trindall for a decent amount of time. It's a hell of a risk to take on a guy that has been up and down even this year... and I would have some concerns about how he hasnt been able to gel with Hynes all that much. Hynes is their go to man like Mam and Walsh would be for us, but he's generally quiet when he plays with Trindall. Unsure if that's a coaching issue (ie. who's the controlling half), but Hynes has shown at Melbourne that he can be elite as a supporting half and yet he cant get into a game when partnered with Trindall. I would be keen for us to go after Atkinson (who's been brought up here before)... he's adapted to both Trindall and Hynes, and also played on his own with both missing (beating Melbourne in Melbourne). He's probably not at the point where he's looking for starting 13 money either, and covers fullback and halves. He'd be a great squad player to have and could end up as a bridging half until Black or just take the position for himself. [/QUOTE]
