Paul Turner released to the Broncos as part of the Reece Walsh deal.

TVNZ Breakfast 6 April.

Bugger, I rated Turner.

 

[Big Marn]

yeh would rather we kept Turner out of this deal, but made me wonder what was going on when SOS got the start ahead of him CHT got injured.
Maybe contracts etc made it easier to release a development player?

 

[SmashEmBro]

Lots of people calling for wingers with speed, at least if this is done and dusted, it will hopefully put a rocket up Maumalo and Fus for the rest of the season.

Put Walsh on the wing and Fus to centre, and when Hiku comes back literally who ever plays worse out of Fus, Maumalo and Walsh makes way

 

[Leber]

Yea heard that. Gutted to lose Turner. He seems like a good prospect. Especially since our halves atm are not firing.

 

[JJ]

Things that make you go hmmmmm

disappointing tbh

 

[Big Marn]

Walsh is a development player at the Broncos, and under NRL rules would not be able to debut in first grade until round 10.

Keen as to get Walsh early but definitely not at the cost of Turner.

 

[TheDMC]

Why sacrifice Turner to get Walsh early? Sounds like we got the short end of the stick. We had already secured Walsh from next year... Maybe we have another signing lined up as again a spot free in our 30 right?

 

[Tongue]

Sounds like it’s between Turner or Perham for the swap.

 

[TheDMC]

What is meant by swap? Hope it is just a loan for the season

Turner is staying put for now. There was a muck up on the Broncos side. Walters and co thought Paul Turner was a development player and not a top 30 player. They don't want to use Turner for their spare slot in their top 30 for until later in the season in case something pops up. In other words they either take Turner and make him top 30 over there or take someone else. I hope the ignorant and aggorgant bastards take the later. Turner is more exciting and a threat.

I think if we want to keep him we will need to start playing him ...probably in the halves as he knows he wont be first choice fullback once Walsh gets here.

given the level of plod being exhibited by the current first choice lot I’d love to see him get a shot

 

[JJ]

Walters, like Broncos management in recent years, really is making every post a winner eh

Turner should be our ad-lib roaming half (Replace Nikorima) SOS/CHT can be the organizers / kickers. An ad-lib Paul Turner behind our pack with this assistance of RTS/SOS all taking on the line (Nikorima has become allergic too in recent years) would be awesome to see.

I’m gonna put it out there. Would you take Milford at a bargain price?

Nope

 

[Tongue]

Nope

Interesting point made on 360.
26 years old. New club. Less responsibility. Less money. Still plenty of football left in him.

He’d have to come fairly cheap.

He’d prob go better with our forward pack than what he has to deal with at the moment.
