Surprised by that, but not going to write off our chances before we even kick off. Not sure about Makinson's omission or why Turner is only now moving to SO though.

Where does this idea that Turner can play in the halves come from?

Will you ever forgive McManus for sacking Royce? You just sound like a petty little child everytime you bang this particular drum, it is extremely boring.

Sure he's played there before. Not sure who for though. England Knights springs to mind but not 100%.

Played for the knights at stand off, he was also goal kicker and kicked 11 from 11 (I think)

nathan brown is your coach!!

He's going to play with 3 pivots like he tried against Widnes with Ashe, Turner and Wellens.

It will be interesting as to who he gives the first receiver role to - O'Brien or Wilkin. He'll split the other two left and right.

I have just been sat here thinking the exact same thing. I reckon we'll see Wilkin at 1st receiver with O'Brien down the left with Manu and Percival and then Turner down the right with Sia and Jones.
