Manu and Turner : Sat Sep 14, 2013 9:13 pm  

I think these have been two very good signings, specifically Turner as he has youth on his side. The team in general have started to play to Manu's strength which is showing up really well. As for Turner he has the makings of a fine centre, his handling skills and speed have never been questioned it was his defence that was suspect but that now appears to be improving with every game. Really good signings in my book.

All three from this season ( adding Walmesley) have been great. If next years are as good as well, we'll be a very tough side

Turner was my MoM today. I thought he was outstanding. And his goalkicking was a real bonus.

To top it off nicely, he's really goodlooking, which makes watching him play even better!

I can't understand why he hasn't been kicking all season.

He wasn't kicking earlier in season due to having an injury.

PS: you need to update your sig it doesn't show AMOR as one of our 2014 signings. So don't think we need any more props.
Also I don't believe we need a winger as Makinson and Swift are two very good young players.
IF Lance can play like he did today we also don't need a standoff.

He started the season as our kicker and pretty much missed every kick he attempted. Either he has grown in confidence over the season or he has practised more or something else because yesterday he was positively Fosteresque.

2 excellent signings, I assume, by Brown. Add that to the signing of Walmsley (which was a stroke of genius considering how good he is/can be) and recruitment has been very good for this season.

Hopefully, we have got it right with Walsh, Amor, Masoe and Beaumont.

Both have settled in well, attack being there priority. Think we forget how quick these two are when they get into open spaces, can only get better for 2014. Hull FC loss our gain.

I always knew Manu would come good. We still don't give him good ball tho. If we could get him better ball he'd be devastating.
