The mighty Josh Perry once carried on with a broken leg I seem to recall.

2 month on the side lines for the pansy apparently

Percival and Jones is a good partnership to run with in Turner's absence, I reckon. Assuming one of them is able to switch to the other side of the field, of course.

I'd leave Percy on his centre. He's not great in his defensive calls as yet on his good side, so moving sides will only make that worse.

I'm sure jones can slot on, he's pretty adaptable and plays well which ever position we play him. Jones is a good pro.

I'm surprised we don't use jones on our right more. Most teams attack that way and he's far more solid defensively than anyone other centre in the team. Percival attacking down the left suited him as well.

His injury could be a blessing in disguise if jones and Percy make the centre positions their own.

Where would that leave turner when he's back? He's contracted til 2016, and on too big a contract to play back up to Percival and jones I'd imagine ...

If those two perform at centre they should stay there. Simple as that. I'd be disappointed if brown brought him straight back on if they are playing well.

Percy being injury prone and Matty Dawson out leaves us very short in the centre. I know Sia can slot in there if need be but that then leaves us with both sia and jones (also two backrow) short in the pack.

I was supposing Percival and Jones make the role their own and thinking longer term (I also think, though a lot has been made about Percival's injuries and him being prone - but he's no where near biscuit bones wheeler, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now)

If for a moment, we supposed turner didn't exist, we'd still be relatively happy with the centre options you say above (potentially flicking through the academy lads to see if there's someone ready to plug a gap if absolutely needed) - and these are the options that we should work with long term. So for turner to get back into the team, it would make sense for him to cover another position, whilst back up the centres (as I say, he's probably too expensive to be missing out week after week) - but I couldn't see where that would be, without being bold...

The doctor would have him back, wasn't he a Salford junior?
