I'm predicting he'll be as effective as Googy was at the Brumbies. At least in his first year if he signs, that is.

Bloody hell! One thing I might ask is how this would help on the field i.e. what actions on the field require this sort of strength? Scrum time only?

Only because you keep dicking around.

Yeah, sounds like Ma'afu too.

I'm waiting for the call... ;)

Probably because he's a sprinter. Im not anti-Davies, by the way. I really look forward to him going on to becoming an awesome player.

Yeah, I agree chief. But we really already have one of those in Ioane. I think Turner could be the perfect foil for the rover type winger. Its like Ioane is a Winger/Centre and Turner is a Winger/Fullback.

Pretty tame, real mellow actually. Basically if one player improves and the other doesnt, he'll get the spot. Not really breaking new ground, Copernicus.

What else is he supposed to do? Apart from finishing and defending? I agree he was pretty lacklustre last year for the Wobs, and he was definetely overshadowed by Mitchell at the Tahs, but he is still a good player and he can get the job done better than the alternatives. Plus, being one of...

Compared to Turner, yes. Davies is no slouch, don't get me wrong, but Turner would be a better pick for the TNs.

Cool story bro. I'd prefer a good defensive winger over a liability any day.

Hey, I read this too! One day this knowledge will come in handy.

Not every leader in the team needs to be captain. Everyone talks about the great team at the turn of the century and how it was filled with leaders; this is the beginning of a similar formula.

Wont the case be put on one of the legal databases online? (AustLII comes to mind)

Yeah, I think Australia just dont earn the right to swing the ball out to the backs at the moment. Backline opportunities are earned, not given.

I completely agree, Austin. Whenever I'm involved in a backline I try and bring in a system where the flyhalf is the main controller, and plays are set up so that he can pass it to any player and they will be ready to recieve and attack. A great example of this is the AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) try vs the Boks in...

I believe "playing whats in front of you" is like zero- not a number, instead representing the absence of a number. That dumbarse Deanspeak refers to winging it rather than establishing a suitable gameplan. My question is this; do the Boks change their gameplan to beat us?

Yikes, my apologies Riddler and Gordon folk.

Yeah, they're definetely class defenders too, but defense is more than just tackling, its safety under the high ball and positioning (when the opposition are kicking etc). These elements of Turner's game have really impressed me this year.

He probably is the best defending winger, though.
