I am hoping Turgut will develop as a regular for next season.
Not really seen anything from him to get excited about but has the pace and build to be similar to Bateman

Savelio looks something really special given his age. BUT..Word is his attitude is off and hes a terrible trainer. Which I think sounds true if I think logically about it. Was at saints. Young player of the yr. Not long after moved on. Loan at cas but they never appeared to get much out of him or tried to sign permanent. Gone to wire on a 1 year deal. Started off the year looking a real prospect again. But suddenly out of the team a while. Back in now mind but still not tied to a deal
Maybe the kind of player radders could get right attitude wise in which case got a future international

I'm sorry but I really don't rate Turgut that highly at the moment, sure he's got time on his hands to get better but he's only 2 years younger than Bateman and the disparity in quality is massive. the likes of Fash and even Matongo are in front of him as far as value to the team IMHO.

he's also a niggly little sod, that late shoulder charge/hit on the Cas player well after the ball had gone and a few other things in previous games are really not something you'd expect of a junior player wanting to make their way up the ladder. If Green was fit and/or we had Hadley he wouldn't get a look in for me.

If you don't rate him he'll probably be in the England squad in a couple of years

You've had more bans than joey barton

I can see turgut being a good player for us. So what if he niggles the opposition. Nice to see a youngster who's got abit of mongrel about him. As long as he's smart with it and doesn't turn into a penalty machine.

turgut will have a long and successful pro career. Anyone who can't see how good he can be doesn't know much about the game

That's how I see him. 1st time I saw him play I thought 'I like him' stood out from the rest. That was the open day at KC 2013 playing for acadamy

Turgut reminds me somewhat of Bateman. Not that big, but runs good lines and has a bit of mongrel in him.
Future FC captain.

It is also ridiculous to compare him to Bateman who is an exceptionally good player and was one of the very best teenage forwards I have ever seen. Turgut has been progressing well still has room for physical improvement. If he carries on at his current rate then there's plenty to look forward to. Only 21 and more potential upside than the much older Hadley or the smaller Fash. Hope all of them go well though.

Not comparing them at all.
Just pointing out that certain elements of his game remind me of Bateman.

Sorry for the confusion I wasn't referring to your post but an earlier one from one of our most popular posters which wasn't too complimentary about Turgut.

Love your sense of humour!!

Sure I read a rumour on the wire board that Atkins is looking for a way out of his contract (probability total BS).

If we're struggling to find a bulldozing winger would be be worth a look? Keep Michaels for another year and have a back line of:

Shaul
Michaels/Griffin
Atkins
Carlos
Talanoa

Atkins has obviously got his limitations, and isn't the youngest, but would maybe fit in with the Radford mould: big, strong, good average gain

Not for me, Connor will be centre next year.

Willie Tonga released by Leigh with a view to looking to move to another super league club....past it / injury prone or worth looking at for a year if he can prove his fitness whilst we look for other NRL options / allow Logan to develop for another year and be ready for 2019?

Not sure we need a centre TBH, particularly an overseas one, our first choice centres should be Carlos and Connor, with Griffin and Logan as back up.

Think we need a winger.

Also we might have this French lad who is a utility back.

Even if we are looking for a centre, Willie Tonga should be just about last on the list.

I'd have Lineham back is they are looking to release someone.

Lineham can finish buts that all he can do.his average gain from back field is terrible

Ayyyy for a big lad he doesn't run his weight, plus at Hull he never stuck to his touch line when defending..... although this may have improved

WOuld not touch Lineham with a bargepole

Agree

I liked him, he had his faults, but was a decent winger, think he would do really well with our centres and halfs.

But can see peoples points about him.

Think we are struggling to recruit new to the cap and lack of quality available, just hope we can pull off a couple of suprised signings to try and replace Ellis and Fonua.

Lineham has gone backwards alarmingly, and wasn't that good when we let him go. I'd take a punt on Tom Briscoe if we were to bring anyone back to Hull.

Fair enough just wondering who we'd replace Fonua with, hopefully we can get another big outside back so we're not losing too much.

Ideally we'd also be looking to sign a line busting back rower similar to BMM or Moors to bring off the bench.

I think Ellis will retire at the end of the year too, so we need to be looking at replacing him (easier said than done). I don't watch too much NRL but lillyman at the warriors is out of contract I think, maybe he is worth a look, former origin player.

I don't want too much :p
