"Chris Atkin would welcome even more competition in the Hull KR halves &#x2013; but is eyeing more consistency and game-time following a promising Super League debut. The 25-year-old made his top-flight bow at Elland Road as the Robins fell to a 20-11 defeat at the hands of Leeds. Confident and composed when partnering former Rhinos legend Danny McGuire in the pivot position, Atkin justified coach Tim Sheens&#x2019; decision to allow the ex-Swinton man to displace Matty Marsh. There remains the strong possibility of KR adding another half-back to their squad, evident due to the well-publicised failed bid for Salford&#x2019;s Robert Lui - as well as reports today again linking Rovers with ex-Red Devils star Todd Carney. Whilst Atkin wouldn&#x2019;t begrudge seeing another fresh face in the play-making group, he&#x2019;s targeting a cemented role in the team ahead of this Thursday&#x2019;s home tie against Catalans Dragons (7.35pm). <p>Tim has spoken to myself, Matty and Danny about that (recruitment) situation. If Tim thinks he can bring in players that can improve the squad and provide us with that better depth &#x2013; because we do have a good squad at the moment but we lost Danny Addy &#x2013; then it gives us that option.</p>"
