Turner is very good with ball in hand in the centre and has pace. If saints can sort out his poor defensive reads and positioning they've got a decent young player. Hopefully we'll try to exploit his weaknesses next season.

Turner tackles, but they're not always good tackles. Many times he fails to put the player to ground or wrap up his arms, resulting in the player getting an offload away and a hole appearing in our defence.

He doesn't seem to read the game well defensively. He regularly leaves his winger exposed.

He is also 3rd in the squad for Errors, with only Manu and Seymour making more.

He's pretty good when he has the ball - his drives are decent and he has pace to get past players - but he's severely let down by his defensive displays.

Great post

I don't disagree that his positioning can be questionable and his performances appears to have gone down hill as have Manus imo, however I still think some posters are being particularly harsh on him recently when imo there are are a lot of others in the team whose performances are just as if not more woeful. Some posters talk as if he is absolutely shiite and he is most definitely not imo, put it this way I would sooner have Turner than Welham and as we know Welham is a knights player.

I dont't disagree with any of that tbh, especially the last sentence

Are you here all week? If none of them play, £10 to charidee from me, if any of them play, £10 from you. Deal?

Also, Turners metres are bloated by the fact 2 break away tries account for 170 of them.

'eh ain't that what we want all our centres to do ?
Although for arguments sake if you knock those meters off he still makes more than the majority of the team including the other centres.

Don't really care, he's and has proved it since he's been here except for the odd purple patch of 2-3 games.
Metres are a daft stat to measure outside backs by anyway.

In fairness to Turner about his metres, his drives are usually pretty decent.

That is fair enough you are entitled to your opinion, however apart from his defensive positioning which I agree can be very questionable he makes good meters and only misses approx 10% of tackles compared to our other 20%, he makes more tackles, has decent hands & feeds his winger and is a strong lad, I fear you may be disappointed with our future if you call that poop.

Where's this Turner you're telling me about? Because he ain't the one I watch.

If Turners decent then were all fooked.

Our judgements often affect what we see and don't see , I always think it is good to question what we see by checking out the evidence of what is actually happening

Not our player next year so this matters very little, however like posted earlier I think some people are being particularly harsh on him.
