Turpin is a bit of a problem. Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist though, hear me out.
Yes he tackled his arse off, which is great. Yes he offered very little in attack, which is not great.
But what worries me more is that I counted at least 5 passes on Friday night where he didn't take the fraction of a second to look up before he passed, which meant he passed to a forward who had a rushing defence in his face.
Last year, we’d drop that ball and put ourselves under pressure. Whilst we didn’t this week, I don’t want to keep testing the theory.
He needs to be A LOT better at his pass selection.
