Turpin? Being quick?? No no noooo. Unfortunately he is anything but quick. -
Thats right. From what i've seen of him he is a real tough defender-perfect type of player to bring on when you are defending a lead......but as far as his attack he lacks creativity. Maybe a new team and coach can help address his attackOriginally posted by ChookMaster View PostComment

Speed is great but Friend was a slow hooker who did ok.Comment

I know nothing about our training regime but I mostly wonder whether we over-train. You wanna train hard but equally you don't wanna be in situations where your ACL, achilles and patella tendon are all snapping without contact.Originally posted by roosterchook View Post
Using B-Moz as an example, I think he was in top shape when he did his ACL. Similar with Collins (selected for Origin + coming of age), Verrills (had just won a premiership and was cementing a starting #9 spot) and Sitili (had won himself a regular spot in 1st grade).
New players often comment that you don't know a training session until Robbo's kicked your butt. Makes me wonder if our 'warrior mentality' style coaching needs an adjustment whereby we are all 'warriors' but will listen to the warning signs if something's feeling iffie.Comment

Yep that’s the one mate.Originally posted by The Lip View Post
He lacks speed and creativity out of dummy half for sure - I would say that it would be one of his traits that he is working hard on but definitely lacks the speed skill out of dummy half.
Maybe with a reduced game time and workload he could perhaps play a freer role with less structure in his game?Comment

Ca Smith wasn't the fastest either...I know he is a generational player that could make everything slow down, but I think we need a 9 who cna just give go service and tighten up the middle....we have enough creativity in the team.Comment

Even Api Korisau is a very good example..somehow he is still possibly underratedOriginally posted by Nicola Tesla View PostComment

Who's his opposition... Grant, Cook, Cheese, [DCE / Hunt depending on how liberal we wanna be], Rein...etc? I don't watch him enough to know where he sits really. However, having 3 premierships aged 30 seems like a pretty good record to me.Originally posted by Easts75 View Post
Enough to get the Tigpies out of a hole? We'll see. Be guessing the Riff chose to drop him before considering the prospect of losing Cleary, Luai or Edwards (none of whom you'd release unless they actively want out and are threatening to kick stones like a certain player did to us a few years back IMO).
A top 5 hooker but getting close to his final NRL contract. Has had a few weird indiscretions in the past too, which makes me wonder whether there's a reason clubs keep moving him on.Comment

Connor posted a story on his Instagram last night showing he was in hospital and thanking people for their support so whatever severity the injury was it required surgery.Comment

Yeah not good!Originally posted by Cooko View Post
‘A partial patellar tendon tear is typically treated with immobilization for up to six weeks, knee braces, and physical therapy. A complete tear or rupture, or a partial tear that doesn't heal well, will require surgery.’Comment

Kurtley Beale did his Patella (Torn clean off the Bone- see x-rays below - Left is normal and Right is Beale's Torn Patella ) - I think he was out for 6 months or so ? - The NRL Physio say's recovery time is 6 to 9 months when surgery is required
