At least one Turner has a chance at getting a bone
I reckon Turner is on 350k a season with his new contract.
He's worth about 250k but no more.
I'd value Bryson as 300k.And out of curiosity, what would you value Goodwin at? Or Tom? Or George? Or Gray?
I'd value Bryson as 300k.
Gray as 250k.
Tom 450k
George 400k.
I agree.I would have him as a minimum wage player mainly playing NSW Cup and filling in for injuries and suspensions
I would currently rate Turner's value at between 0K to 150K so let's take the average and say 75K. So I would have him as a minimum wage player mainly playing NSW Cup and filling in for injuries and suspensions for about 5 games a season
Looking at the NRL fantasy points as a rough guide and ranking his score vs the other edge backrowers on the field, in Rd 1 he was 4th out of 4 (so the worst). In Rds 2 and 3 he ranked equal 2nd to 3rd out of 4 so he was average. So taking the opening 3 games he has been slightly below average. However these opponents are all low on the ladder so he could be well below average vs all edge backrowers in the NRL
Anyways the next 4 to 5 games will show us Turner's and Clark's true value. I am happy to upgrade their value if they perform well against better teams

Turner has been in the top grade for 4 - 5 seasons now.He needs to take the next step.
Not sure what you mean. Madge has selected him for starting second rower heaps of times. He'll have to lift otherwise Crichton will take his spot.It's hard for a player to take the next step when the coach keeps selecting players in front of you.

Sorry but I just don't think he's worth 350k.Ok. I don't value the twins that highly at the moment to be honest, not while they're yo-yoing between first and reserve grade.
I would say $350k is about right for Turner. He's an 80 minute backrower who has played most if not all games in the past 2 seasons or so. IMO he should earn more than 2 good but not great outside backs and be at least on par with the twins. $350k could still turn out to be a steal in a season or two should he continue to show the improvement he has so far this term. It'd only be so long until someone like Manly came knocking, resulting in his value going up.
I believe Crichton is a better player than Turner.If we're looking at fantasy stats we're not just getting rid of turner we're getting rid of musgrove, Clark, Sutton and starting players like Crichton and Rochow who make really good stats for the time they're on the field but doesn't really mean they're gonna be better players. The problem with fantasy stats is that it counts tackles as "3rd man ins"- a lot of the reason hookers get really high tackle counts. Youre right about one thing though. Our second rowers need to be running more. You just can't sit there and be a tackle machine you need to make metres. It's the reason why Shaun Fensom was dropped from the raiders and is the reason why turner can improve on his game significantly. 33 tackles a game is good but I think you'll find some of the best second rowers make about 30,40+ tackles plus 100 ARM. But turner is young and he has Crichton pressuring him. He will get better.
Correct and it's yet to happen.Turner has been in the top grade for 4 - 5 seasons now.He needs to take the next step.
