Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3045895, member: 9358"] Not much difference you reckon? Turpin has so far in his short career shown he has more to his attack and defence than Macca currently has. Turpin actually engages markers when passing from dummy half more naturally than Macca does. Also Turpin actually cuts people in half and hurts the opposition where as Macca is just a wrap them up and fall to the ground type. The only thing Macca has over him is experience and maybe his kicking game which he barely ever uses anyway. Turpin was ordinary last night no doubt about that. But I think you’ll find people are a lot more forgiving to a player who before tonight has been outstanding in all his previous games and has provided the team with a spark that we’ve been missing from the hooker position for years. He had built up enough credits to have an off night or 2 as long as it doesn’t become the norm he will be fine. This isn’t an excuse but merely an observation and opinion, but I think you’ll find if they played Segeyaro at 14 instead of Macca, then Turpin probably doesn’t play like he is trying to win the game before he is substituted as he is probably under more pressure to provide something knowing who is coming on for him.
