Agreed about his defence, but some of his ball skills are great at times the offload at Catalan earlier in the year was sheer class. He's played stand off all his life until he made it to the first team, has a great rugby brain and great vision, and showed what he can do when he played stand off for a half eariler this season. Saying that I really don't think he has what it takes to make it as a loose or as a centre, but IMO defo worth a shot at 6.

Have to say that I agree with Enfield Exile on this. We've had lots of talk about his potential now for about 3 years at both half back and loose but he's clearly not as good as Ratchford even now, so for him to claim the number 6 shirt here is not going to happen. If he wanted to develop as a loose forward then he needs the ability to tackle anything that moves like Swain or Alker (which I don't think he does and doesn't look likely to develop either) and he needs the ability to be able to get his team mates to stay on his shoulder for when he either creates a gap or gets his hands free in a tackle, which again he shows little evidence of.

Of course, I may well be proved wrong but I already think that Jordan's development has slowed to a stop recently so perhaps a change of club might be the thing he needs. Certainly, if he stays with us, it's difficult to see where he fits in both now and in the future. If he does go, then best of luck to him but I don't think it's such a big loss.

The Hull deal was rumoured to be done months back and Turner had no intention of staying at Salford.

It was never a question of Salford offering a low contract because I've been reliabily informed that his agent (Phil Clarke's brother) kept telling the club that they wouldn't discuss new terms until the end of the season.

This was basically a devious plan so Turner would go on virtually a free (Apart from youth player compensation scheme) and be kept in the side, giving him more SL experience.

Fella, you have seen him play far more than I do so I'll take your word for it. And with you being a half-back for Folly...

Does he show these ball-handling skills often?

He has never been the same since he got that head injury at Batley last year.
He seems to be frightened now when going into a tackle.
I agree SO would be his best position, whether he wil get that at Hull is another matter.
Sad to see a player who has come through the ranks leaving, but good luck to him
