Kevvie throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, where have we seen that before… if we lose to the dogs he doesn’t have many moves left, Mam might be next..

He doesn't have the cattle but in fairness, he is giving blokes a month in positions at least and then pulling the trigger. I don't mind it.

I genuinely wouldn't mind still having Turps on the bench as a lock/middle defender to come on as starch once Hetherington goes off but definitely not as a 9.

I'd still have Turpin at 9, but I don't see much value with him off the bench. If we are going to try and use him as a lock, I'd stick him there after his initial stint at 9.

Yeah I don't disagree but the other benefit to me of having him on the bench is that if worse comes to worst, he can also play in the halves. So he is a decent utility on the bench given that he can play 6, 7, 9 and 13, albeit none of them all that well. It also helps Paix being on the bench who really can only cover 9.

seems we shot off early re Turpin, he did get a run with the top squad at 9. But it's a three way race. Walters not training at 6

 

[1910]

Turpin is injured- he's wearing the no contact vest.

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Jensen deserves to start based on last week.

8 Jensen
10. Haas
13. Hetherington

14. Palaisa
15. Carrigan
16. Flegler

That's my ideal forward lineup

Palasia dropped

 

[McHunt]

Confirmed

 

[Morepudding]

Apparently turps dropped? Hearing walters and Paix at 9

 

[Broncapz]

Tyson Gamble training at five-eighth with Broncos today. Cory Paix/Billy Walters interchanging at hooker. Jake Turpin training with reserves squad.

This is the way.

 

[Accept]

Lol you're just making this up to troll the forum.

I hope it's a troll.

Turpin is injured- he's wearing the no contact vest.

Yeah. He has been battling a collar bone soreness and something else so Kev probably just bit the bullet and dropped him with the injury excuse to back him up.

Are you saying he shouldn't be making changes after 4 losses in a row (BTW, at least one of them is a forced change due to injury)

 

[McHunt]

Training notes (CM)

Turpin nursing a collarbone injury.
Gamble 6, Walters 9, Paix 14, TMM 1
Capewell doing no-contact work, but expected to play

Are you sure? I have info he trained full contact... Maybe bad info

 

[Accept]

Just replacing and shuffling around a bunch of plodders. It might result in a victory but so what. The Dogs are sitting in dead last. Will be lucky to win even one of the next eight following this match.

I disagree here. Paix played juniors and qld 20s in the halves. I much prefer to have him over Turpin on the bench. Turpin would be the slowest utility/half if we had him. He either starts or out of the team. Much prefer out of team

Source is the Courier Mail, numerous reporters but probably Peter Badel:

"Hooker Jake Turpin is in doubt with a collarbone injury. He wore a red no-contact bib running with the Renegades"​

​

Adam Jackson confirmed he was training with the reserves.

Turpin has been struggling with collarbone and pec injuries for some time:

Ex-Broncos skipper Jake Turpin could be dropped for Round 6

Jake Turpin looks set to pay the price for Brisbane's dismal run of form, with Kevin Walters reportedly considering dropping the Broncos former captain to the bench in Round 6.
