Not a good signing for me, not as good as our current youngsters but hope I can be proved wrong. Just think from Lyon to Gidley to Shenton to Turner can we get much lower?

I would agree with that.

He was told he would be playing wing next year and if he didn't like it, we was happy for him to move on.

The problem with Shenton is that he never really kicked on to another level when we signed him from Castleford. I know he had poor service but I thought he would have imposed himself more onto the team. A good coach can always improve a player, this has not really happened with Potter and Simmons, it would have been interesting to see what DA could have done with him.
With Turner it looks as though he has loads of potential but needs lots of development, as already mentioned this might be Nathon Browns perspective with Turner turning him from a "rough diamond" to a future star.
I,m not too bothered at the moment of his inconsitent performances, that can be fixed. I,m sure i read somwhere he is fro this side of the Pennines and he found travelling to Hull a bit of a chore. Maybe settling into a more comfortable environment might speed up his learning curve.

Millward spin.

You don't let under contract players leave, especially without a transfer fee, if you don't want them to.

IMO, he went backwards rather than simply failing to improve.

He made the England team while in a struggling Cas side. He's not looked in the top 2 English centres since being at Saints.

I'm looking forward to watching how Turner develops. Even if he doesn't become a top class centre, we won't be in any worse a position than we are now and almost certainly with a fair bit more cap space.
