You guys are very lucky picking up Stevie Turner for 2004.
Being a big Panther fan, I saw a fair bit of him in action for the Cougers in 2003. He didn't get much opportunity in first grade due to a bloke by the name of Rhys Wesser.
Turner has got it all. Pace, step, fend. He is pretty solid in defence and his positional play is first rate. There was talk going around out at Penrith that he has the potential to be the next Lockyer.
Personally I think we should have hung onto him and groomed him for the centres, but alas you guys have got him now.
I think you guys will be a big danger in 2004. You were the only team to beat us convincingly in the 2 competition rounds in 2003. You have picked up a couple of good players for 2004.
Storm were the only side I was really worried about meeting in the semis this year. Lets hope for a Panthers v Storm GF for 2004.
