Other News Source Bulldogs to try lure Brisbane hooker Jake Turpin to Belmore

I was just looking at the 2019 roster. Upgrading the team goes in stages. We had Nu Brown and Michael Lichaa holding the fort at 9 back then. We didn't really give Brown much if a shot, but neither did the clubs that recruited him after he left the dogs. Plenty of people would've gotten excited to replace them with a packet of peanuts. We had Marshal King playing in the halves back then and he was eventually transitioned to 9 as a decent upgrade to Lichaa.

I think Turpin had been found lacking by the time we got him which was indicative of where we were at the time. I really think that getting Mahoney jumped us forward a lot. A hooker that can get every play going with a bit of momentum will make the rest of the team perform a bit better.

So while I don't rate Turpin on what I've seen of him, it's not ti say that he wasn't better than Lichaa or Brown when he joined us.
 
Turpin looked decent until he became the main hooker at Bronco, pushing McCullough out of the club.
