Hatred, really?

Got a feeling turps will surprise us with a good game. I like the guy and I hope he gets a contract at another club. Here's to hoping he plays like he did off the bench when a few years ago! Wishful thinking?
Didn't everyone say this before the storm game and he stunk it up as per usual? He's a straight up awful footy player and is too far gone. Speaks volumes that he doesn't even have any offers yet and still puts out garbage.

He was pretty handy before Kev took over tbh, he’ll go fine at a new club imo. Probably my only criticism of Walters as coach, my own personal belief is that it’s been partially coached out of him so billy could be shoehorned into the side. Quite the anomaly, most players have gotten better under him and the deadwood has been cut out.

Nepotism still... boring

Turps was playing like garbage in 2020 when Seibold was still here.

He's trying to play like CS9 and engage the markers all the time and he just can't do it.

If he wants any sort of future in the NRL he needs to simplify his game to pass straight off the ground or run when the markers are split... that's it.

I'm sorry but are you seriously suggesting that the broncos coaching staff have deliberately coached Turpin out of being a good player just so they can get rid him to put Walters in?

I would love to go into a rant about how absolute batshit crazy that is but for any one to suggest that means your probably to far gone and nothing anyone can say to you will convince you otherwise.
 
Are you sure? My memory is telling me ‘20.

19 was the year he took maccas spot wasn’t it?
2019 was the first year of Seibold and we had a million injuries which eventually ended with Turps and Boyd in the halves.

Milf was playing about 3 positions at once from fullback and we had Macca playing 9.

Turps had won the hooker battle against Macca when we played Titans at Suncorp on a Sunday afternoon and Dearden was picked in the halves... but Dearden got injured about 15-20mins in and Turps was moved back to 7 (I think he had filled in a couple times??) and Macca was brought back into 9... injuries from then on meant Turps stayed there.

2020 was covid hit and wooden spoon year... Turps went into that year as Seibold's preferred 9 (I think Macca was eventually sent to knights on loan). He got a fractured arm against eels in rd 3 when the game returned and was way way off at hooker from that point on.

It’s ok, you have probably never dealt with nepotism in the workplace, trust me it exists. I might be wrong but that’s the great thing about opinions, everybody has one. If you think it’s batshit crazy than more power to you, but it’s a definite possibility.

**** time goes fast.
 
Anyone know if this will be a wet game?

Looking dry as a bone up there at the moment... not sure if they've been copping it the previous days though

He actually came back well from the injury, Brisbane produced their best performance of the season against Cronulla only to have their hearts broken when Dearden lost the ball off a goal line drop out. Brisbane carried injuries and had some dubious calls go against them versus Souths and then he got injured before half-time against the Raiders (from memory).

The jury was still out when he came back and had one of his best games against the Eels. However he never maintained that consistensy and outside of the odd game it became noticeable how much his service was affecting the side.

Could only recall that during that year the calls were starting that he's a tackle bot that no longer runs it and also that his service was poor.

Hard to get a gauge on any of the poor sides that year when a team is getting about 35% possession and 40% territory for an entire year due to ridiculous rule changes

You’re entitled to your opinion, 100%, but I’m telling you it is to far fetched and utter crap. If you ask any one of us in here who thinks Walters is better than Turpin I reckon it would be about 98% who agree with that statement. So for Kev to jump on that 98% backed wagon means it probably isn’t nepotism. You have to realise that Jake Turpin had the starting role to begin with. If this was a plan to complete cut out the competition how can you explain the reason Paix has improved leaps and bounds through both Cup and Nrl levels during Kevs tenure. I am 100% sure Kev would rather his boy in the side than out, just like any father. But to claim that he would just neglect Turpin completely to help Billy get a spot is ludicrous cause at the end of the day Kev gives a **** more of a shit about his job than his sons. His son still has a job in reserve grade. If Kev starts picking inferior and incompetent players it’s his ass on the line.
