Quote: Mugwump "Turner's not being helped by consistently picking him in the midfield. Right now he's just too heavy to play in the centres. I can't imagine Saints would allow him to play if he is consistently shoving cheeseburgers into his gut therefore there's been a conscious effort by the coaching team to bulk him up.
Turner's positives have always been good footwork, running dangerous lines and an eye for a gap. It's the reason he's scored such a high number o8f tries in SL. By putting an extra stone (or more) on the guy we've completely neutralised these strengths while further exacerbating his defensive issues.
I'd be interested to know what his try-scoring ratio is at centre vs other positions. I suspect it has dropped off a cliff recently.'"
KC tried him at 6 and looked pretty adamant he was staying at 6,,so why would they try and bulk him up to play 6?
I agree, it's not helped JT being messed around like KC has with him. Last year he was a centre, then he was dropped for few weeks, then he was bench player, then KC said he seen him as ball playing 13 like Sean O'Loughlin (funny as fu*k), then was moved to 6 this year. He's certainly been messed about but he's been rubbish at every position.
He's a out and out centre imo but a poor one. His whole defensive game is awful. He missed one on ones, he makes terrible reads and is soft as a bag of dog s*it.
I'd 100% cut him when he's off contract.
