Do you follow every match in the round ?
Turpin was MoM last weekend ...
Nothing new for our former captain, Kevin Walters Award 2021 winner, Try of the Year recipient.

I can't see him hunt coming to the Broncos, just doesn't fit with what we have at the moment, but I am surprised the Cowpats haven't been mentioned.

I assume they would probably need to move on the Chad to free the cap space tho.

I wonder if they've signed that Brooks contact yet.

Does that mean Billy doesn’t make the tackles people are talking about? No. Your response was dumb

How many GF has Hunt won ?
How many times repped Australia in how many positions ? Berro > Hunt

Easier for him to stand out at the Dragons in weak teams .

Rep caps are pretty light on the ground for anyone not named Cam Smith, Thurston, Cronk etc, who were his peers in his position throughout his career. That doesn't stop him from being elite.

He's also stood out as pretty impressive while playing in the Maroons jersey. Granted, it's the worst Origin team of all time, but still.

Dude, Jake played 80 minutes and made 53 tackles. You can't on one hand bucket him for being a spud, and then point to an inferior defender's record as proof he's some kind of prodigy. Billy has been fine for us, but no need to embellish it.

Dude, the comment wasn’t about quantity of tackles. Turpin can make a lot of them, sure. But they’re useless in the grand scheme of a game of rugby league. The comment you responded to was about quality of tackle. Walters has been folding people in half, getting them on their back and winning the wrestle in the process. Something Turpin can’t do with 53 legs tackles.

It's 2023, we're on top of the table, we're playing like no Brisbane team has in five years, we've got a team that's eminently likeable from 1 to 17 and beyond, nary a dickhead in sight, a strong team culture, electrifying young playmakers, promising rookies, the boys are having fun, half the team could deadset be male models...

...and somehow, we're being haunted by the ghost of Jake Turpin.

We’re not, @McHunt is not representative of a normal person’s view.

Having Ben here ..even just for the rest of the season .. could only help Billy advance his skill set .. in preperation for next season. Can see Kev having a red hot crack at him.

B Hunt is a #7 in his day job .
Plays #9 three times a year for a portion of a game before Harry Grant takes over . What is he going to impart to Billy that Cptn Coach Reynolds couldn`t teach him ?

Its hard to use that argument really when Berrigan played in a team with Hodges, Hunt, Lockyer, Webcke, Carroll, Thorn, Petero etc. Not difficult to have success in a team surrounded by blokes like that.

Or his own, for that matter.
Quite possibly. My views on Billy Walters are so mainstream and ubiquitous, it's possible I assimilated them from the masses. You pair might very well be pioneers in this stream of fan service.

As for Turpin, it all seems consistent with @Sproj 's daily sermon that Uncle Nick can pick and choose whoever he wants regardless of price. He chose Jake Turpin, and yes, we can see it hurts.
