On a good day, Turner's a great player. he just seems to puntucate them with horrors, much like LMS, much like Saints.
As Percy has developed, he seems more and more like our star centre. I think its much more likely that Turner will play centre and Jones will(should) play 13. Jones at 13 should be able to combine the high defensive workload that you need somewhere in your back row with a dynamic pseudo centre attacking game outwide - in a similar manner to when Darren Smith was here. Leaving the other two back row slots to be filled by bigger lads.
I'd go
Lomax
Swift Percival Turner Makinson
Burns Walsh
Amor Robes Walmsley
Vea LMS
Jones
Hohaia, Masoe, Thompson, Savelio/Greenwood/Richards/Flash/Wilkin/Any new signing
I've got to say that once you dilute Wilkin's versatility, he becomes a lot less valuable to us. He's too small and nice for a top club back row in the current game.
You can never describe Turher as "great". He's nowhere near great, he's at times not even average and for 60% of the year been utter rubbish.
His defence is woeful. He's half hearted. He just plods in and hits the ground but every few month he churns out a decent performance but that is by no means great.
If a decent centre came available like Marsh at Widnes I'd have no hesitation in swapping him
