Turpin hasn't been great but he hasn't been a total dud either. With having a different player wearing the 7 'calling the shots' basically every week most of 21, Seibolds era apparently the game plan was too complex or something like that and nobody knew what they were doing, so I think its fair to give him this year with a elite game managing halfback, more experienced forwards and some stability in the team to step up and show what he's got.Carrigan is priority. The others are "nice if you can" territory but i wont sweat it at this stage if they fizzle.
We need quality from hooker but i think we might see improvement regardless if we have a half like reynolds taking the pressure off their shouldiers.
I felt sorry for turpin, and macca before him who often had to deal with halves who were clueless, carrying injury, or terrified to "take the bull by the horns" for fear of stuffing up and being sacked.
If used properly him and Paix could really form a really good rotation utilising both their strengths.
