They’ve moved north to Rat Park in the past but Harley Attwater has always been the type to buck the trend with his move from Warringah to Manly this week.

Attwater trained with Manly’s first grade squad on Tuesday night yet only gained official release from the Rats on Wednesday.

He trained with the top side on Thursday night and, depending on the fitness of BJ Hartmann (strained calf muscle), start in the No.10 or come off the bench in the match against highly-fancied Gordon.

Marlins coach Matt McGoldrick should be able to tap Attwater for intel given his new flyhalf was part of the Warringah team thrashed 52-7 by Gordon last Saturday.
