Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 3470503, member: 9424"] If memory serves me correctly, it’s also worth noting that Billy wasn’t initially brought to the club to play 9. However, when it became evident he wasn’t our first, second or even third best choice at 6, he got parachuted into the 9 jersey. It’s almost as if the coach looked extremely hard to find a place for him somewhere in the starting 13. Sans a few games and moments, when the dust settled on 2022, it was there for all to see that Billy had turned out to be little more than Turpin 2.0, who had proven himself to be Macca 2.0. It seems we’ve just been cycling our way through dull, uninspiring 9’s, each new one praised for a few weeks / months because they were simply not the previous bloke, until it became clear they were no better than the bloke they replaced. The difference is, the Broncos didn’t offer Turpin a new contract, whilst Billy got his extended. For all the criticisms of Turpin, and I’ve made my fair share, he finds himself second choice 9 at the Roosters. If anyone thinks I’m simply out to death ride Billy, I am sure [USER=2290]@theshed[/USER] can confirm I have defended a lot of the criticisms he’s levelled against Kevvie from the get-go. However, unless Billy improves out of sight; if Kevvie keeps picking him I believe some serious questions will need to be asked. [/QUOTE]
