Turbo running style

[Mark from Brisbane]

Less of them (us?) this week.... maybe? Lol

I roll with the emotions of the good and bad , but honestly many on here just sit back , say nothing until we are bad and then on they come again.

Annoys me I must say.

 

[manly al]

Sure that Turbo is just taking it all in his stride

 

[Snake]

His legs were more straight up and down I reckon, not angling out to the side. Definite modification.

I agree. I noticed this. He looked a million dollars to my eyes. His old running style looked less economical. I thought he looked faster than ever in Mudgee.

 

[Highflier]

Agree. Whether under instruction or not, it was good seeing Saab looming up to relieve Thomas the Turbo’s hamstrings.

I know Saab is still learning but gee how good is it when he gets in the open after a beautiful pass to know that know one will catch him
The try’s from Harpers and Tom’s passes were just gold

They say hate is a stronger emotion then love MfB...

And plenty of ST members hate losing - which is fair...

I think ST is an opportunity to vent for many supporters so while we may have to endure a lot of comments we don't agree with, it probably saves a lot of wives and kids from listening to it instead...

Hopefully we keep winning and it can be all peace and mungbeans...

Yeah we certainly hate losing !

It’s not so much the losing for me , it’s the not having a crack !!

Make us proud , even with a loss!!

Nail on head...

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Shut the gate, his gait's been changed!

I didn't really notice... but I did notice when watching the highlights that after he scored his try, making it 16-0, the titans wingers slid heavily into him, deliberately late.

😡

I thought that usual b/s of nailing the guy who just scored a try went out in the 90's (or when slater the cat retired).

Go.... go watch now then return and shower me with praise!


(I said praise ya perverts!)

Best bit of that was parker when Tom scored he sort of pushed everyone back as they ran in. Parkers face went from hell yeah to **** no in milliseconds and you can see him say 'are you alright'... he looked horrified that tommy was down and possibly injured.

I took your advice and put them on ignore during the game day thread last week. Improved my enjoyment 100x

I Was taught to accelerate by taking small steps initially and let yourself increase stride as you gain speed.
A big first stride is slow.

sounds like the gearing of a manual sports car

Agreed. He looked like he was running similar to Saab in terms of technique.

 

[QueefRichards]

He was still fast but it just seemed a different “ gait “.

I could be wrong but I thought it was different.

Yeah that's the word I was looking for but I'm obviously not a cunning linguist

 

[Eaglehauser]

Watching the game back closer, tried to focus on Turbo and what he is doing right the last couple weeks. Seems he his accelerating right before he hits the line which is catching the defenders off gaurd and the leg drive leaves them flat footed. Hard to defend when half a gap is presented. Especially evident in the second try bust yesterday. Just needs to keep that willingness up and will be very hard to stop. If they start throwing defenders his way to trail him, he becomes a decoy leaving holes open elsewhere.
