Quote ="carl_spackler"No disrespect, but I strongly think you are very wrong. To say Turner has done [inothing[/i wrong is incredibly far from accurate.
Firstly, watch back some of last year and pay close attention to Turner waving at the players outside him as the attacking players cruise through the gap next to him.
Secondly, notice that this happened irrespective of whether it was Sharp or Whiting playing outside him at the time. Also - again irrespective of which player it happened to be in any given game - notice how far infield he often found himself, dragging the rest of the line with him and causing the winger to either be isolated or with too much space on his outside (or both).
Thirdly, the Bradford preseason game. Whilst the only try did come from a Martin loose pass, it was very noticeable that whilst Martin was on the pitch they didn't otherwise get a sniff of any joy down our right, but in the 2nd half whilst Turner was on they ripped us open down there several times. Sharp played the full 80, so it wasn't him that made the difference.
And finally, Seymour didn't even play in the Warrington game, yet our right side defence still looked much more solid. The only problems they posed on that side were caused by Waterhouse against Nicklas, which is understandable, and a McKinnon/Tickle error.
Yes, he scores tries. But he also costs us a fair few as well as a lot of field position. I'll be genuinely interested if you think any of the above points are untrue, or still maintain that they don't add up to Turner doing anything wrong. Please explain why if so, though, rather than just saying you disagree.'"
yes i totally agree with his defence not been upto scratch but tbf the defence last year was shocking cant really jus single anyone player out yes sharp came off his wing and yes turner dragged him in but the whole defence got dragged in last year on numerous occasions you can only do what they guy inside of you does i suppose otherwise you leave gaps imo i would still like to see what he can do other than playing martin every game turner is another utility player i dnt think his best position is centre but quicker and stronger than martin im sure gentle could sort his defence out and give him a couple of games it wont happen anyway because its always going to be experience 1st
