Plenty of promise but not ready yet. Reminds me a bit of Leon Price,

I said that last week, I am totally buying into the kid, I see some-thing special but like you say early days yet.

Still a long way to go to prove he can play in the halves imo. If Long isnt back next week i'd play Whiting at 6.

Not great last night, but is young and learning.

Agree, and now he has dipped into the team for a couple of weeks and got some hunger for it he can dip out again and be used for cover. He's a great young addition to the squad and will be a star of the future i think.

Could have played last night at a push

Thought he had a poor game last night, would have replaced him with Whiting if Long wasn't back next week. Think it will still be a year or two before we see the best of him.

It's nice to know we can win without him mate isnt it.

Quite agree. He will play a few games this year, but is not quite at the stage where he is a regular.

Very astute signing, though.

Think he looks a great prospect, has a good turn of pace and a few different ideas to the usual tactics.

not ready for a first team place when everyone is fit, but a good squad player for the moment

is that for sure??
I heard a chap saying he had been told that the injury was worse than FC are letting on

first time for a long time we had been able to say that statement huh??

A bit harsh that.I think he has filled in pretty well and has done everything asked of him.Still young and raw but a star in the making.

Wouldn't go as far as saying he was poor but was much quiter last night and didn't really have much influence on the game.

Yup. When you look at the last few years and look how poor we were when Dykes and Head were injured we were clueless. (last year we were clueless with our first choice 7 fit)

Nice to see we've learnt how to win in different ways.

Its a luxury to finally have thought process in more than one head on the park, even Horne appears to be looking up and around again which is nice to see!!
I agree though we can now win in many different ways depending on the mnatch in process

He is a young lad stepping into a tough position to play. Nothing spectacular last night and a couple of dropped balls but he certainly got some air on his kicks. Expect him to miss out if Long returns but he will improve with time.

he will be in squad for wigan game i'm led to believe ,

Also thought he had a quieter game...some of his passing from base of scrum was terrible and took a lot of wrong options..........wont be able to dislodge centre pairing and should be behind Whiting.

horney said after the game in his mom interview that the team had been training all season with different combinations to cope with any injuries to him and long,smart move eh it certainly seems to of paid off,turner done a good job filling in while longy been out,but it will be great to have him back for the wigan game,said he cant wait to get back into it,also said he wanted to play last night but pope put a stop to that

.

seems sensible that he would not be risked against Cas but in a potential top of the table deciding match he will play if fit i am sure of it, knowing the manner of the man i can see him having a blinder against Wigan!! after lay offs he used to come back with a bang I recall...
However despite recent perofrmances some on here would have you believe that turner is useless so i guess were doomed if long isnt fit huh

Who said useless........just thought he had a indifferent game......some good touches and looks strong put his passing wasnt sharp and was low down from base of scrum and took a few wrong options...the inside pass to Manu near the end...pass didnt need to be made...he could have used him as the decoy....im sure his time will come but dont know where in the team...a long term replacement for Fitz......he may offer more than Washbrook?

Just my luck. Thought I was on for free money when a Rovers fan bet me that Long wouldn't even play 10 games this season. I'm starting to think I could lose this bet.

Half backs need to want their hands on the ball and to take on the defensive line putting runners into gaps. Horney drifts in and out of that mode. Longy has built a career on it. Turner I suspect wont be doing that for most of his career and will fnish up as a skillful back rower. Credit to him for filling in in able fashion in the last 2 games and I am confident he will go on to be a valuable addition to the squad.

Agar and Long both said on the radio he is definitely playing.

Back to Turner I didn't think he had that good a game, hopefully it was just a one off but his passing was not very accurate.
