You dont like turner thats OK but there is a lot that do..His Stats warrent him to be in the team , id be more concerned if you are judging on defense the missed tackles by goodwin this year hes at 88% LAST i looked...I hope you noted a pitiful attempt by cook last weekend in trying to tackle a line break.
Tuner has missed his tackles inside our own 20 defending our line leading to conceding tries.
I disagree about Clark. He has realised [or perhaps Maguire has actually allowed him] that OFFLOADING passes helps the team win. He is doing it very well too so I would have him ready from the bench he is providing a spark by continually offloading the football rather than just crashing into a wall of bodies. Its refreshing to watch and the wins are coming.
Turner has been pushed aside by the emerging successful combination of Fuimaono and Crichton. Along with Musgrove The Crisps have unearthed three potential Group 1 Racehorses. The wins are following behind these three because they are OPENING UP space for established players such as Sam B. Sam B is starting to look explosive again purely because of the emergence of these three stallions especially Crichton. Defenses must account for Crichton at all times he is that dangerous. Musgrove too is a real handful with his charges as is Fuimaono so teams cannot afford to stack players onto Sam B. Open your eyes Sam B is smiling and playing relaxed and wild because he now knows that defenses can no longer gang up on him. Did you notice the attention Crichton got from Penrith??? Sam B cashed in on it.
Keary is vastly overrated and he has a poor kicking game. To me Easts will end up winning nada on the season they are just not good enough. Cronulla badly exposed them out wide and Melbourne had them toasted SANS Cronk Slater Smuth and Marilyn Chambers. That's Bad form. These contests usually end up 1-1 in the season. Eastern Suburbs won the first game but that was with Tuggg Boat Talakai starting at centre. The Crisps look a vastly better team now with the emergence of Crichton Fuimaono and Musgrove and Talakai out of the frame. Its a must win contest for The Crisps so lets go!!!
Hunt fractured his thumb nearly three weeks il y a. He should be back soon even with a cast over the thumb. He will not require 6 weeks for that!! Running backs in The NFL - who have to grip the rock and pound into defenses - play with a broken Hand only days after surgical repair!! Sore but play with a cast on!!!
How many tackles do NFL running backs have to make?
Yes that is a big improvement in him.
In our high performance update today Paul Devlin said around 3-4 weeks away.
