Great post

I don't disagree that his positioning can be questionable and his performances appears to have gone down hill as have Manus imo, however I still think some posters are being particularly harsh on him recently when imo there are are a lot of others in the team whose performances are just as if not more woeful. Some posters talk as if he is absolutely shiite and he is most definitely not imo, put it this way I would sooner have Turner than Welham and as we know Welham is a knights player.

I dont't disagree with any of that tbh, especially the last sentence

Are you here all week? If none of them play, £10 to charidee from me, if any of them play, £10 from you. Deal?

Also, Turners metres are bloated by the fact 2 break away tries account for 170 of them.

'eh ain't that what we want all our centres to do ?
Although for arguments sake if you knock those meters off he still makes more than the majority of the team including the other centres.

Don't really care, he's and has proved it since he's been here except for the odd purple patch of 2-3 games.
Metres are a daft stat to measure outside backs by anyway.

In fairness to Turner about his metres, his drives are usually pretty decent.

That is fair enough you are entitled to your opinion, however apart from his defensive positioning which I agree can be very questionable he makes good meters and only misses approx 10% of tackles compared to our other 20%, he makes more tackles, has decent hands & feeds his winger and is a strong lad, I fear you may be disappointed with our future if you call that poop.

Where's this Turner you're telling me about? Because he ain't the one I watch.

If Turners decent then were all fooked.

Our judgements often affect what we see and don't see

, I always think it is good to question what we see by checking out the evidence of what is actually happening



Not our player next year so this matters very little, however like posted earlier I think some people are being particularly harsh on him.

I just don't see it in him, but tbf 2 years of his deal he played under Agar. But he's not a player we'll be worried about when we play Saints next year.

sandy's exceleld himself then, naming 4 injured palyers in his 19 man squad. Fecking genius

What are they,block paving?

Horne
Foster
Whiting
Yeaman
Briscoe
McGoldrick
Seymour
Lynch
Heremaia
Aspinwall
Manu
Westerman
Pitts
Subs
Watts
Houghton
Turner
Bowden
Would play Whiting in the centre for his defence because Rovers best attacking side is there left. Turner can rotate loose man with Pitts. Horne at fullback for his steadyness and Watts of the bench for his impact.

Not a bad side that (on paper) so lets see how it performs in reality

Maybe a surprise or two in the line up

Do feel Whiting is best used in the forwards but would agree that he should take Turners place in centre, at least for tomorrow and if it works well then keep it like that for the rest of the season.

Has McGoldrick played in the halves before?

Who's replacing Seymour, Andy Hay?

Reckon our halves will be Horne & Westy/Whiting/McGoldrick.

Don't believe Seymour's just been dropped either.

So who's dropping out of squad, Seymour and bowden? that would mean lineham is sub

article on Sky saying Gentle is tempted to make big changes because he knows the players will be up for anything with it being a derby

Got a feeling Lineham will start and Foster will play FB, with McGoldrick playing in the halves alongside Horne. Gentle was very quick to point out he could slot in at FB.
