I think Turner has done ok this year. He's not done anything special but he looks pretty dangerous with the ball and could be a strike centre for us providing he gets good ball.
His defence has been ok as well. He's not missing tackles like the hull fans said he would.
He's got the makings to be a good super league centre. He's big, fast, athletic and good foot work.
Everything above is what i expected.
I think many fans listened too much to the Hull fans, rather than looked with their own eyes.
I remember saying not to expect a world beater, but that i thought we had got a player who would fit in better to the Saints setup than Shenton did and therefore offer us more.
Interesting about his move to left centre. Makes me wonder if the long term plan is to have Makinson playing right centre, with Josh Jones providing cover in the backrow on the right hand side.
I suspect many are unaware that Makinson is a centre by trade, and pretty much played most of his academy rugby there.
A Makinson, Turner combination would inject pace into both three quarter lines.
