Over the long term, Percival and Jones should be our centres (so even if people want turner gone, we have the players) where that would leave turner depend entirely on recapturing last years form...

He did well last year which buys some recovery time bug he is not undroppable.

Needs a rest v landan.

He shouldn't be playing against London but I certainly wouldn't call it a rest.

Not sure what that means tbh.

You said you don't think he is a proper centre, but you're basing that on recent form.

He's got the physique to be a centre but In my experience, when a centre can't tackle to save his life, he's usually shifted to the wing.

Or further in field where it doesn't matter so much

I'm bored of this now. I'll stand by my opinion that he's not good enough and never will be. He's to soft and lacks heart. Not good enough.

That's it from me on the subject.

Fair enough.

No one said that, when people suggested we had one of the best back 5 in the league it was a fair suggestion as they were in form. Notice how it says "one of" implying there is others. Don't twist peoples words.

You need to look up the meaning of 'sic' mate! I know it wasn't being claimed they were the best and I explained earlier in this thread (prior to the Leeds loss) why I used the phrase. For the record, it wasn't said when they were in form as it was after defeats from both Wigan and Widnes and on the back of a couple scratchy performances prior to that. The phrase that was used was 'shortly have...etc.' At the time of writing the back 5 looks a long way from being comparable with the best in Superleague. As it stands, I can't see any being in contention for international honours for example (Lomax, your current best is way behind Tomkins and Hardaker at the very least) and when you consider Leeds, Wigan, Huddersfield and Catalans have current internationals and Warrington and a couple others count recent internationals among their backs it seemed rather a bold claim. My take on it is that you have a combination of a couple of good backs who COULD go on to be something, Makinson and Lomax who are already good, and Turner who is..well, see the rest of this thread! Not exactly the makeup of a backline 'shortly to be among the best in Superleague' ( again, for the record...sic!). Just my opinion of course...
