Must admit I'm a bit confused at the Turner signing. We have plenty of better back row options and plenty of centres who are fighting it out for a starting spot. He doesn't look likely to be someone who will command a regular starting spot.

Where does his signing leave g horne and rich whiting?

playing for someone else, hopefully.

I know Rich has a lot of fans on here, but he is the square root of average.

The signing of Turner must also put Whiting's future in doubt. Personally, I wouldn't mind if Whiting left with G Horne, Lee, Thorman and Motu from our backline. All we would need to do then is convince Stefan Ratchford to come here with his bessy mate !!!!

Maybe with the news that we have got Manu off quota coming out we can expect some news with regards to an overseas signing soon

We don't need another overseas signing !!! Give the last quota spot to Big Sam now then bring in a good British SO/centre like Stefan Ratchford or Ryan Atkins.

If we had the ability to pull off something similar to that, I would be very happy with next years squad.

OUT : Motu, Lee, G Horne, Thorman, Tickle, King, Thackray, Byrne, Whiting

IN : O'Meley, Fitzgibbon, Tansey, Lauaki, Turner, Long, Ratchford/Atkins

RETAIN : Moa, Maloney, Cusack

That would be a fantastic off-season of recruitment and our squad would be well capable of challenging at the very top of SL.

I understand you point of view, however i believe the club are already actively talking to an overseas back, if thats the case then it looks like Moa will be playing elsewhere

Massive loss if they dont sign Sam up !
