Rnd 18 vs Broncos @ Accor Fri 4th July 8pm

Surely Todd comes onto the bench and Morrin 18th man.

Hughes is no certainty. Not sure if he’s passed his fitness test but might be a situation where he doesn’t run out and Todd is brought in. Could see Curren starting with Hopoi and Todd giving a spell to the starters.

Yup. As to those who said Sexy‘s form only improved after Galvin signed that’s nonsense. Sexy clearly missed Presto next to him and since Presto’s return he’s been better - created one and almost two tries against Pennies last week. Not a co-incidence and nothing to do with Galvin who I agree likely needs some Cup time to better learn our systems.

Having said that, in their limited minutes together, Galvin has feed a couple of good balls to Preston whose good line running hasn't been fully utilised that well by Sexton. They are going to work well together!

It's not turpin per se, it's his obsession with his system with smaller 'forwards' who can work a lot in defense.

But Turpins idea of defense is hitting someone high and giving away penalties

They may well. I’m just struggling to see Galvin in a traditional 7 role - he may well create plays but I haven’t seen much game management (yes, I know he’s 19, hence benefit of the doubt). Maybe the longer term question mark is on Burton - it’s hard to tell right now and with Woods coming through the picture that looked like a Monet is suddenly now a Picasso .

Lesss fuckin go. It's game day my fine ladies and gents

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Broncos will self destruct off a short dropout, Bulldog by 4

In terms of a possible game plan, Mam and Reynolds are a defensive shambles have to isolate them in 1v1 situations

What is CCs fascination with Turpin.

He literally almost lost us the game against the Rabbits in the second half.

He has his favourites.

Yep.

 

[Cantabrian35]

He has his favourites.

To be fair, Turpin has only played two games this year and we were missing 11 players for one and six or seven in the second.

There's a very loose definition of the word favourite.

Where??

LETS FKN GO!

 

[Harry Oz]

I suggested earlier in the week an option would be Turpin would be 14 - Tuala dropped.
Burton to centre, Xerri to wing. And Galvin starts.
I don't think this will happen but Turpin at reserve means it is still a possibility.
As is Todd coming in for Tuala or Hopoi.

With their halfback & prop gone. Realistically they are in the hurt locker.

Beware of the wounded warrior
