For me, a fullback is a third playmaker in attack, Tom Briscoe as good as he is ain't a playmaker.

Out of curiosity, why do you think Turner should play over Crooks?

Good point. Turner has scored tries on the end of good work from other players. He is patently waiting for the end of the season and if I were PG I would make sure that he's already reached it. St. Helens must have been looking for a dance instructor when they signed him, because his little hop and skip is the only thing he has to offer.

I Think actually he's got a fair bit of talent and he clearly thinks the same. The problem is there's no heart. Did anyone notice how he was desperate not to slide on the artificial pitch when going in for his try? In trying to avoid a "burn" he almost put his feet in touch by going feet first!

I suspect he thinks he's got more than 'a bit', and more than he actually has.

We've had a problem in the past few years with our talented players not developing fully, they seem to get to a good level and think they've made it and don't need to work on other parts of their game.
