As always....

As always....

Better not be. That'll just be a slap in the face with a wet fish.

 

[Michael Clare]

And I believe we’ve bought Tuilagi from The Tigers for 2023. Another backrower with talent playing in a crap team.

This young man can play footy. It's a big "yes" from me!

 

[Rocky]

Turbo obviously didn't "look" his superhuman self v the Tigers - nor has he for most of the season.

Begs the question has he come back too early or is this something where he will get better with more playing time?

I've got no idea, but either way I would prefer to rest him if he's not 100% and a chance of getting worse.

I know we need to win games right now but if we don't have a fit Turbo in the back end of the comp we have zero chance of making any noise (could argue we have zero chance anyway).

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Turbo is not making the impact last year because we make it easy for sides to shut him down. Using him as a hit up off dummy half is something that should only happen close to the try line. We should be using him as a decoy runner and or putting him through holes. I haven't seen Jake's inside ball to Tommy for a while.

second year super human expectation syndrome.

while he has been less effective our team looks to rely on him too much and he is feeling it . looking too serious like he isnt enjoying it as much and why would he TBH

 

[Shoe1]

Look, if he runs more than 200m, busts a dozen tackles and sets up a try (+ no errors) in most games we will keep winning.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’m not sure if he’s ,

Injured
Other teams have worked him out
He’s just slacked off

I doubt in would be the last one but something ain’t right.

 

[mickqld]

He's just jealous of Burbo getting all the limelight , and tries. Let him spit the dummy, complain to mum and he'll be fine by Fri night.

God he will be pessed if Burbo scores another 2 on Friday night that's for sure.

 

[CBreeagles]

I think it’s a combination of the 6again rule change which has slowed the game in comparison to last year and other teams marking him more heavily.

 

[The '47ers]

Supposed to be a F-tonne of rain coming up here, doesn't bode well for Turbo

 

[Cliffymagic]

The opposition is tackling him like thier lifes depend on it. No half arsed attempts allowed on Turbo cause they know he will bust through.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Another thread that poses a question I am now willing to answer. The answer is yes - yes, he will.

Thread closed, mic dropped, etc.

Despite not looking 100% against the Tigers, he still had:

230 run metres
64 post-contact metres
1 Try assist
1 Line break assist
5 tackle breaks
3 offloads

This plus Schuster being out injured reduced our attacking options by one, thereby increasing the pressure on Turbo.

Not a bad day at the office.

PTB speed is down across the league. This is the single biggest thing effecting Turbo. He is big and fast but his ability to see opportunities before anyone else is his strength. The slower ruck speed has brought him back to the pack.
