Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3435574, member: 8814"] I don't get what people were expecting from Turpin. I thought he did his role. He shovelled the ball out, made his tackles - including some big hits, and he didn't do anything dramatically stupid. Sure his service was poor and he had zero attacking threat from dummy half but we knew that. Some would say I have low expectations, and they'd be right, he is our 3rd choice dummy half now and getting let go by the club next year so the club and coach see it too. He's just plugging a hole while paix returns to form in reserves, paixs poor was very poor defensively and that's our priority at the moment. If Turpin needs to play (I wouldn't be against no 2nd dummy half until paix improves mind you) then I'd be playing him 20 mins with someone else going to dummy half in the opposition 20m (sounds crazy but maybe even Reynolds and mam, at least in the 4th and 5th plays) and the instruction for the outside backs to increase their dummy half runs in that period. Have him there purely for defence and hopefully with less workload his service improves... [/QUOTE]
