Debutant Daniel Atkinson shines in his first full game as Sharks crushing Raiders 40-0.
Sharks debutant Daniel Atkinson is ready to take on more action after getting his first taste of playing five-eighth in the NRL.
The rookie admitted that he had considered switching positions to prop in order to get more game time, as he had only seen 19 minutes on the field since his debut last year.
In a display that steered the ladder-leading Sharks to a convincing 40-0 victory against the Raiders, Atkinson partnered with Nicho Hynes in the halves and put on an 80-minute performance.
This felt like a 'real debut' for the 23-year-old, who had previously been used as a utility player coming off the bench or filling in as the 18th man.
