Turpin

[Brisbane Tragic]

Sorry if someone has posted this already but he is asking for a release from the Broncos... while Croker is a great defender - this guys adds some value in attack as well. I would have him in a heartbeat.

More than likely off to the Dolphins next year and whilst the Broncos are flying this year,hooker is not their strong suit and he wasn’t playing well enough to get a run ahead of Walters and Paix.I don’t rate him but just my opinion.No better than Croker

 

[Pepi]

Respectfully disagree.
6 appearances this year. No line breaks, tackle breaks, try assists or line-break assists, and an average of 20 running metres. He offers less than Croker.

I haven't watched this year but certainly noticed him last year and he certainly had some attack

 

[Coops manly]

I would say he is similar to Croker .
I think we need more out of a 9 .

 

[Budgie]

Knights?

Turpin maybe offers a tad more attacking thrust then Croker, but the leaky Manly defence would be worse again with Turpin in the middle and this is the biggest area of concern.
If/once defence improves, the attack will improve off the back of that and points "will" come.

I certainly don't think our forwards are the leaky area - I haven't seen us steamrolled down the park... our problems have been in lazy props generally not covering off on the inside but mostly our issues have been out wide especially on our right side defence. I think he averaged 40 odd tackles per game last year.

 

[Brookie Bob]

Throws more than his share of forward passes from dummy half.

Turnip is a dud, no attack at all and looks like a de-fruited mango pip.

[master blaster]

That Paix goes ok

 

[KNUCKLES]

Pass for mine

 

[Eagles4Life]

Croker goes way better now, than Turpin ever will. Hard no from me. If we are getting a new hooker, an upgrade and not a downgrade from Croker is needed.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

It's a no for me
We have Manase

 

[Will on the hill]

For better or worse Croker is our 9 until Manase's future is determined. If he is found guilty I'd hope we could do better than Turpin.

"a de-fruited mango pip"….that’s one hell of an imagination you got there Joeboy.

 

[Ryan]

Didn't he usurp Andrew McCullough?

 

[Remy]

Hell No

I have - almost every game our forwards are slower in just about every contest.....and not to excuse some woeful defence on that right edge, but it's from the middle being comprimised they are constantly under so much pressure.

We’re not talking about Croker
