canberra are a better team than newcastle, newcastle are bottom of the table at the moment...again (2016 too)! canberra finished 2nd in the table in 2016.

would imagine they have very good centres too at canberra...someones feeding rapana who tops the nrl for tries so far this season

Think thats a bit unfair to compare Wardle and Turner in the NRL. Wardle for a start Wardle been playing in the back row predominately. Also Turner had a current Canberra legend (Croker) and someone on the verge of origin (Leilua) in the centres in front of him. Wardle is also playing for a coach he has played for before and also in a poorer team.

I do agree Wardle is the better player though just different situations in the NRL. I think Turner will go well for you guys would love to see you make the 8 again and I think you are now seeing some improvements on what you have with Stones signings. Also really hope what ive read on here about Symonds isnt true too think he is a cracking line running back rower

Turner was playing in the back row too as a loose.
Canberra are doing better than knights- but he's not been covering himself in glory in the 9s either. Will have to wait and see- eden wasn't doing so well but came back a better player.

Wardle was part of the Mamo deal not in a deal for Turner. yes we had to loose a good player to allow us to get Mamo who is a very important player for us going forward. Stone is building a very good team and knows what he is doing. This does not happen over night and will take a couple of years to bring in the players we need but we are taking steps in the right direction since he has been here.

True, I think if you get him in the right form he will be a very good signing for you. Just think he needs to stay away from the halves though!
