A couple of sound bytes out of that game:
- Yep, TPJ's position is definitely second row. He did an admirable job at 13 but you could immediately tell his best impact had been blunted by playing there.
- Turpin is so much better than Macca, it's frightening. Plenty of starch in his tackles, massive workload on limited minutes and brisk service from dummy half. Anyone want a representative hooker at a discount rate?
- Isaako needs to train at fullback over the off season. Boyd's form has improved somewhat over the past few rounds but his future is centre as he gets older. Best to get Isaako's development at the back started early.
