Turpin has to play 80. 4 bench forwards until Walsh earns the 14 and can play a roaming role.

Turpin can’t play 80 though. He’d burn himself out quicker than Macca

He has to learn sometime. We are a mess when he’s off.

I think he should be 60-70 minute player. Maybe Croft can take the 14. Spot and give turpin a break.
I don’t know... we are such a mess, you’re right.
Yep Croft in the 14 and if a half goes down we got cover .

I agree Paix needs more time in Qcup and perhaps Croft can inject a fresh set of legs running from dummy half as he is supposed to have a better running than kicking game. Apart from Paix's huge tackle on JT13 I think he' has not shown enough to warrant the 14 spot. Someone else said Oates to the wing or Qcup as well, I totally agree. For what we're paying him he should be a leader out there and he's not even an apprentice 2nd rower. Waste of cap space trying to develop him I think. He has not shown anything either.

Player tackle and run stats are up now. No replacement times or minutes played, which would've been helpful.

All very similar , strange we didn't use our full 8 interchanges. Few extra missed tackles and some ass'y tries.Player tackle and run stats are up now. No replacement times or minutes played, which would've been helpful.

I don’t really think Croft is the answer either. Lucky Smith is coming.
I heard grant has gone down so that might put a finger through the "Cam has played his last game for melbourne" statement but who knows?
They still have Brandon who is not bad for a back up

How on Earth could Walsh playing cameo minutes in a 'roving role' off our Bench be better for his development that 80 minutes at Fullback in Queensland Cup every week?
Unless we're demoting Isaako and Walsh is replacing him then he shouldn't be anywhere near our NRL team.

It’s assuming he’s had a good first half to the season in Q cup. It’s not an unusual progression, that’s how Barba, Papenhuyzen, and Milford all were introduced to first grade.

FWIW, Karmichael Hunt was picked on the bench first game at 17, straight out of high school, and only started at fullback because Moty Tony got injured.
Paix and Croft would be better playing bigger minutes in QCUP. Walsh for the 14 in my view. K Hunt would be a useful signing at fullback but depends on how he is going in his personal life

I'm curious as to how the logic that says Paix needs minutes in Queeensland Cup isn't also the same logic that's applicable to Walsh?
