He's very much outside the first 17 when Swift returns, so Turner will be OK as a back up player, as mentioned will give KC another option than Owens who hasn't been a disaster in the last couple of games to be honest.

Owens got a very good report card from those attended yesterdays game and too be fair he's having to run around for lomax at the moment

He wasn't running around for Lomax before the last two games, when he looked just as bad.

I've only seen the highlights of yesterday so can't comment on that performance, but I hope he did have a good game and this turns things around for him, because he's been woeful previously.

Am i the only one that can see turner has natural ability and the things that let him down can be worked on.
probably doest help he gets switched to 5 different positions.
i think he could make a good winger.
ive seen nothing in owens that suggest he could ever be more than average. Hope he proves me wrong

He's a reasonable attacking centre but perhaps the coaching team have failed him to read defensive plays we don't know. I,ve seen him put in some big hits but these a few and far between now. Didn't we sign him for his attack and to add speed to our backline, I remember when he played for Hull giving Shenton who was at saints at the time a head start and chased him down after 50 metres.
The problem now is that he has become a "utility" player and I,m not too sure in the long term who is the lesser of the 2 evils, Owens or Turner. At the moment Dawson is the more consistent this season whether be it on the wing or centre.

Dawson reminds me of gardner
never world class but effort was second to none.

Turner is the lesser of the two evils, even though he can be poor defensively, in the centre he adds to the attack. Owen does neither at the moment.

In fact, it shouldn't even be a comparison really.

And Dawson is bang average, he's not even as good as Gardner.

Hopefully we've seen the last of "Turnstile Owen" if Swift returns next week, the pecking order:

Swift
Turner
Dawson
SMD
Owen
Makinson (n/a)
