Jake Turpin requested a release from the broncos today, one of the clubs he has been linked to is the knights (naturally)

May be the only hooker in the NRL I’d pick Randall over
Yep. He's a bit too similar to Randall for mine. No surprise to see the Broncos excelling after Walters and Paix have stepped up at #9.

You'd only consider him if Randall did his ACL at training this week. Even then I'd be inclined to go Mann or give Huth an opportunity.

Twitter seems to be of the view he is headed here. Twitter is the Wild West as we know, but smoke and fire lads.

Ugh. Imagine your weekly headline this week is "Knights sign barnstorming backrower Elliott and young crafty hooker, Turpin".

Elliott the guy who is 3rd or 4th string backrower at the Raiders andTurpin who is 3rd string hooker at the Broncos and not shown anything above what Randall offers.

I get they're positions of need or improvement, but this barely fits the bill.

Why did they wait until the season was basically over to work out Randall/Crossland/Mann weren't going to cut it with Brailey out. I could have told you that in pre-season.

Whoever is spinning the wheel of mediocrity to come up with these uninspired signings needs to be asked some questions.

I like Randall, lots of effort but yes he is 2nd or 3rd hooker who fill in occasionally due to injuries. When Brailey went down Randall should have been fill in only for injury and immediate search for suitable replacement due to likely length of time, very poor management/recruitment

Lol listen to you all

Turpin being released and us having an injured hooker doesn't mean he is headed here. It's the internet putting 2 and 2 together with nothing else behind it

Even if we were bringing him here, remember the last Broncos reject hooker we got? He turned out to be pretty handy until he snapped his Achilles

Lay off the pipe. McCullough was an aging struggling former Qld hooker. Nothing like Turpin.

Way to miss the entire point of my post mate. Getting hysterical over something thats not happened is silly

To reiterate:

A. There is zero evidence that Turpin is coming here. None. Zilch

B. If in the off chance that Turpin signs with Newcastle, it will be for small $ and at the very least strengthen our hooker stocks which are dire right now and add some experience

No no, you've missed the point of my post - comparing Turpin to McCullough.

But as you said, cross that bridge when we/if we need to.

Just watching this Titans Cowboys game and it got me thinking.. How much do we think Luki re-signed for at the Cowboys? If we signed Elliott at 450ishK then geez that should have been close enough to get Luki too?
