Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3108252, member: 8988"] To my mind an 80 minute hooker is a compromise to an under-performing pack. It's too much to expect a player to do it and maintain a consistent performance. Something has to give. So assuming our pack is fine, it makes sense to play mecca off the bench. With Turpin the preferred candidate, he will play a good 60 minutes, with mecca filling in the remainder and leaving an option as lock, second row in the event of injury or depending on the bench to relieve a younger forward that starts. It's the kind of role berrigan used to fulfill and with Turpin's versatility and that of our starters, makes sense. People may talk about other hookers playing 80, but inevitably it leads to poor performance down the line. Camera smith manages it, but only with having spells away from the spot on the field, and he's not exactly your average hooker. [/QUOTE]
