Turley was a real talisman for you guys.
Around the same time we had a guy at full-back called Craig Lingard playing for us, who was just as (if not more?) proflific than Turks and played in what was a pretty average team during his time at Batley. I think Craig scored something like 130 tries for us in 160 appearances.
Linners never really got the praise and credit he deserved, unlike Turley.
Great player though Turley, bet he'd still be playing and scoring for fun now if he'd not picked up his injury

Take a look at Gene's try in the GF versus the Giants in 2002. One of the softest attempts at a tackle I have ever seen.

You'll have to post the video....plus would you stop gene in full flow when getting wacked in a final

You could be talking about me there. In the wrong context though. We were playing very bad at the time and Neil was walking around with his head down and I shouted at the top of my voice " cum on Turley get your bloody head up, cum on the rest of yer. Your better than this crap". Neil lifted his head on hearing this and made an attempt to play better even though we lost. No doubting that Neil was a fantastic player for our club that someday will be regarded in the same light as Woody and the others.

OOPS Correct.

very good player the player all haven fans loved to hate which to me shows how good he was, good off the feild also always came into the havenbar for a crack and took loads of banter and laughed it all off

great player
