NO TURBO .. NO IDEA.

[TokyoEagle]

Our first set last night said it all. Marty Tapau gets the ball around 38m out on the 4th and instead of putting it under his wing and try to get field position, he throws it behind to absolutely noone. DCE ends up kicking from about 20m out instead of 45m out. Roosters score next set. I would be inclined to let Marty go early to NQ if thats what he is going to serve up for us in his last year on contract.

Changes I would like to see:
Marty out, Jake to prop, Schuster to lock when back from injury,
Croker bench, Lawton to start at 9
Harper out, Koula in - have to fix the right side defence that has leaked 8/10 tries conceded this year
Bullemor Bench, Davey to start, Aloiai in after suspension (sipley before that)

Turbo
Saab
Koula
Parker
Garrick
Foran
DCE
Paseka
Lawton
Jurbo
Davey
Olakauatu
Schuster

Walker
Croker
Aloiai
Bullemore

18th Sipley
19th Tuipolotu

I have similar thoughts on Jake and the Shoe, although, I have Walker going back to centre with Croker keeping his spot and Lawton in the 14.

Turbo
Saab
Walker
Parker
Garrick
Foran
DCE
Paseka
Croker
Jurbo
Davey
Olakauatu
Schuster

Lawton
Aloiai
Bullemore
Taupau

18 Sipley
19 Tuipolotu
20 Koula

As something a bit out there, and looking at what he showed last year, could Walker handle the defense at 9, or is he going to be a liability?

Well I am going to say.... he would get us out of trouble far far better when coming off our own line. Will he score the tries Saab does... if he scores them.... no! Saab's upswing is way better.... but if teams keep doing this Jorge is absolutely in play

Tuipolotu should be next in line

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Yes I think he has a bit of toughness about him that is for sure

Jeeze Turbo having scans on a knee after not pulling up to well after the game yesterday is a worry.

Hopefully just precautionary. If it was that bad he would of come from the field when he injured it.
Won’t be surprised if he is given the week off with the short turn around

 

[Woodsie]

Either way .. he can't keep taking it upon himself to use his body as a battering ram.

More courage than sense at times God love him.

Fingers crossed, the attack and defence with Turbo has been clunky, without him and no Schuster is a problem.

That tackle on Papalli yesterday was huge from Turbo, not many can do that.

Last year i remember des saying tom doesnt do short turn arounds . Something around origin and hammies

 

[WiseyEagle]

Probably no Walker as well with short turn around?
