We've been spoilt for quality centres particularly during the summer era. Newlove, Iro, Gleeson, Lyon, Gibbs, Talau, Gidley etc who could create a bit of magic & turn a game on its head. I'm sorry but Jordan Turner's not in the same league as the players I've mentioned. And if some fans believe he is, then we really have settled for mediocrity.

When was the last time we had a quality centre?
Or
When was the last the we actually had two out and out proper centres? |

I can't Believe we even tried him at 6! He was worse there. He'd do his run across and then that slo predictable drop off.
Some even called for him to play in the pack

Played most of his junior rugby at 13 - which explains why he struggles with positional sense now I suppose.
He don't look like a winger to me - he has the body shape and attributes to be a quality centre - and we saw the potential of that last year. But, recently, his flaws have been exposed and he's looked poor. That doesn't make him a winger. |

Turner is a proper centre, whether or not he is a good one is a matter of opinion. So yeah as MS said atm we have two at the moment.

You honestly think he can be a quality centre? Really?
Come on!
Maybe a average centre. |

I'd say Matt Gidley. Shenton was alright but wasn't top quality IMO. Percival has got the ingredients to be a quality centre but he's got a lot to learn yet. |

The Pansy doesn't look like a rugby player at the moment, never mind a centre. |

Percy looks like he has a bit of class about him. Great potential but needs to sort his defensive reads and execution out. |

Has the potential to? Yes. Performed so far - very good centre. Performed recently - direly. |

Form doesn't make him any less of a centre. |

Turner has done nothing for Saints to suggest we would want to extend his contract. If there is anyone of any level of class in the academy or out of contract, I'd suggest he's fairly close to the door now. Terrible defensively and no way near what he should be in attack.

Yes but how many on here actually thought he had any chance at all of getting it?
I didn't even think he'd be anywhere near our player of the year. |

www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/3330 - and yes, I thought it was deserved.
On his day he's a very good centre (with signs to say he has the potential to be "quality"icon_wink.gif - being woefully out of form doesn't change that (nor does it change the fact he's been very poor in the last month or so).
Over the long term, Percival and Jones should be our centres (so even if people want turner gone, we have the players) where that would leave turner depend entirely on recapturing last years form... |

He shouldn't be playing against London but I certainly wouldn't call it a rest. |

You said you don't think he is a proper centre, but you're basing that on recent form. |

He's got the physique to be a centre but In my experience, when a centre can't tackle to save his life, he's usually shifted to the wing. |

I'm bored of this now. I'll stand by my opinion that he's not good enough and never will be. He's to soft and lacks heart. Not good enough.
That's it from me on the subject. |
