Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3032803, member: 8988"] At the moment Dearden is not doing a lot more than Kodi, although his defence is markedly better (his passing has yet to make anything happen) but its early days. Its the same with Turpin. Let him play his game and watch him develop (or not) over the next few games. This hyperbole is ridiculous. Turpin is running wider at the ruck but giving shorter passes to our forwards. Macca tends to pass longer passes and runs straighter in the ruck. It's different and Turpin is using his superior pace to his advantage, looking for a chance to dart, but at the expense of our forwards running wider. This worked against Manly but the Roosters are a strong defensive team without the lack of cohesion, the poor old injury-ravaged Manly have suffered. I think he will do fine but we shouldn't be too caught up in a game against a team that has had terrible luck with injuries. If anything we should have won more convincingly. We need our forwards running harder in their hit-ups and defending together as a team more. How Turpin fits into that only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
