Turuva for whatever reason is well below NRL standard when attacking the opponents line.

Seems to lack the instincts to be where his inside men need him to be when the play isn't the one rehearsed at training. The Walker/AJ combo is one of the all time great winger/play maker connections and it'd be nice if we had anything similar.

Turuva's other work has been outstanding though, he's really improved his defence and staying on his wing since his early games.

Thats what people don't get. His grunt work has been outstanding but he's capable of so much more with the ball. Especially at 1

People forget to separate their emotions for the team from the facts. It's also inevitable we will have reasonably high turnover outside a few core players and fans won't like it because they'll be attached to all those players.

Which part is incorrect?
The bit where you say he's an out and out Fullback. He's a safe, hardworking winger atm, more than doing his job in an unbelievably successful team. Just because he's not a perfect player, doesn't mean he's not a very good one. Also, he's a rookie. Rookies usually improve.

He may be a better fullback and if someone wants to come and throw fullback money at him (or he's got ambitions in that area) then there's not much we can do. But that's a cross that bridge when we get to it kind of situation.

Just a little silliness.

May coming back messes with it as well unless you move may to centre with Critta leaving.

May to centre seems likely at this point, given we seem disinterested in recruiting there. But either way, as good as May is it's hard to know how he'll come back. ACLs can change a player.

True. Hopefully being young is on his side. Tedesco became the best player in the game after early career knee injuries.

Tago as right centre next year is a must.

His ability to break tackles next to To'o will destroy teams.

His ability to engage the line and flick to the winger is probably the best we've had on the right since Whare.

He looks very lost in the attacking 20m. One of the worst finishers in the comp id say.
What he does at the other end of the field is excellent

Hopefully his fortunes will change and he bags himself some tries in the weeks ahead.

It’s not that long ago yourself and the usual suspects were bagging out Tago for being a hog, bombing tries, refusing to pass. Stupid statements at the time, look even more stupid now.
