Turpin is efficient, but nothing more, although he played a lot at The Bronco's as a seven , so maybe he's coming for that role. He is defensively a very good tackler and a hard little nugget but not in the same class as Clifford, but who knows under Smith? Appo is a very , very underwhelming signing when the likes of Blore was being discussed and I can't say it has me overly-optimistic, if we are talking about upgrades on our current backrow, I just don't see it with him. Still, got to trust Smith, but maybe we are concentrating our efforts on props for next year, with the youth being given a chance in the back row.
