Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3244944, member: 9853"] If you were listening to Nine commentary - Fatty, in particular - they were going on about what a great player Flegler is. Sometimes I think they run on autopilot. I thought we beat them man for man almost right across the field, except Cleary and To'o. Not to knock Xavier, but he was bettered there last night. Capewell was terrific, but TPJ was stellar, and Kikau was contained. Glenn was unremarkable, and his captaincy undetectable, but he certainly didn't let us down. But if anyone personified that performance it was Turpin. Effort dialed to 11, just lacking the attacking finesse to seal the job. Again, outplayed his opposite number. As for forward passes, he handled the ball 127 times for 1 error. Forward passes are always going to happen when you're the one scooping the ball, each time trying to accelerate the momentum, and you're so buggered you can barely think. Better to get the odd forward pass trying to push the pace than play it safe with little lobs like Macca and have everyone flat and cautious. Many are calling for Turpin to be rested to bring on a spark from the bench. That's all very good except I don't see anyone in the wings who can replicate what he's doing, plus challenge the line. One thing is for sure, he must be getting match fit. [/QUOTE]
