Across 30 appearances Atkinson has shown a willingness to carry the ball well beyond what is typical for a ten, averaging over seven carries and nearly 40 metres per match with eight tries to his name. His defensive contribution is equally notable, consistently clocking over five tackles a game with single-match peaks of 12, suggesting he operates as a genuine defensive presence rather than a passenger at the back of the line. Those workload numbers across three competitions point to a fly half who takes on physical responsibility on both sides of the ball.
