The kid is a star, developing more of a passing game and the games where he switched mid game to fullback he was playing excellently.

Did he have surgery in the off season? Or did he just rest up? Worried about the chance of recurrence.

That's very true but TB and TA along with the tries he will score will.

He's gone when Gray returns. Not sure how long Gray is out though.

Edrick Lee to Cronulla confirmed.

Nick Cotric should now be good to go. Currently he is just a CTR, so if Turner plays centre and Cotric on the wing then he should get DPP

I like Cotric as a CCow but that depends on how long Crocker is out. How long will Crocker be out injured??

I wouldn't be too worried about Crocker returning.

TTrubo averages

FB -13 games. average 40.7
CTR - 4 games. average 49
Wing - 6 games. average 37

He played far more games at FB than at CTR or Wing, big enough sample size for me to think that unless his ankle injury affected him he will score around the same.

Obviously getting the gig fulltime and another year in the system will aid him, but like a said flip a coin

McInnes (VC), Brailey
DSaifiti, Gurgess, Wallace Hoare
DeBelin (C), ET, McGuire, SMAt, Sironen Stimpson
Norman, Cleary,Lamb, Elgey
Idris, Scott/Kelly, Scott/Kelly, Cotric
TTurbo, RTS, Hayne, Phythian, Jennings

*DeBelin + McInnes would need to carry on great avg from starting stints last year.

On second glance, saving money on no CS9 and Fifita still doesn't give you enough cash to turn mid rangers with potential into guns so not worth the risk.

only way TTurbo is undervalued is how badly his ankle injury affected him IMO so a toss of the coin because no stats back up him turning elite at FB

I've been looking at stats ad nauseam lately, but sometimes I think you just need to trust your eyes. I love watching the guy play. He will be a superstar. Breaks tackles for fun. He's only 20. He's fully fit now. And like you say another year in the system training solely at FB. Like I said locked in for me.
