Quote ="Magic Superbeetle"Experience? Laffranchi has that, but doesn't seem to count for much.
Defensive work? Yeah, Wilkin comfortably takes the crown. But then Flanaghan trumps him.
Orgaqnisation? I'd say Turner is doing a pretty decent job at the moment on his own. Wilkin has been doing the makeshift leader thing for longer so probably edges it, but I wouldn't say there's much between them on that front. Either way, they'll be 4th runners for this, behind Burns Walsh and Roby so hardly a big contributing factor.
Passion and aggression? ... It's a long time since I heard those words to describe Wilkin. And Turner, to be fair. Not sure one has significantly more than the other, neither are going to rip up trees on the matter.
As for what Turner brings over Wilkin: speed, backing up, ability to offload and eye for the gap. If Lomax isn't going to be the support runner that Wellens was, mold Turner into it instead. Wilkin couldn't of scored the try that Turner did vs Castleford for example. Imo of course.
I fully expect Wilkin to be our lock next year, rightly or wrongly. But Turner hasn't been as bad as you claim. In fact he's been quite good.'"
Where was he when the going got tough against wolves?
He was good when we put a cricket score on cas but that's it.
Why move a average centre that struggles to defend into the pack to play 13 ?
