Offloads=Very rare event

Actually, I was agreeing with you and reinforcing your point. Others within the forums seem to be expecting far too much far too soon.

Looks like I completely misunderstood yours then.

I,m suprised we have not given Turner more expectation. It was my understanding that he couldn,t handle all the travelling to Hull.
If he is in a settled environment here and Brown gets to work on him, i reckon he will be a much improved player, he can also play stand off so I believe.

It's easier to rely on the assessment of bitter Hull fans (who largely only voiced such assessment once it was announced he was leaving for Saints) and already assume he is going to be a failure.

That way, you can spend each game eagerly anticipating any error he makes (while ignoring similar errors from your current favourites) so that you can blame McManus' poor recruitment / Brown's poor coaching etc.

If he doesn't make any mistakes, never mind, there's always Meli.

Personally, I'm really excited to have some pace and power in the centres and will judge him on his performances for Saints.

Potentially 3 top signings.

Manu has got the no 13 shirt and I think he should play from the loose forward position and not second row. He has plenty of experience and he could create some kind of partnership with the not so healthy half back scenario.
