Did you watch the Leeds game? Washy offered much more than Turner in both attack and defence.

I've been impressed with Washy since he came back in. Especially after the stick he took for his performance (or lack of) at Celtic.

Prozac? Viagra? Mogadon?

He did Dave, he played 6 for under 20s Great Britain, played alongside the boy wonder from Saints (Kyle), Turner was tipped for bigger things than Kyle, not sure about that though





Unless he has a spurt,

I have not totally ruled him out as a 6, and unlike most I am actually impressed with his defence, need to see a lot more in offence though. Early days me thinks, I am still convinced he will be a fantastic prospect.

Rohypnol

No deffo stand off.

twas Stand off correcto!!

On merit, Washbrook should play before Turner. My worry is and it's a huge worry, that whenever Horne and Washy play together in the halves we create very little.



Why not go for it and play whiting at 6?

I'm a bit underwhelmed with Turner to be honest but am hopeful that this is very much a development season before we see bigger and better things.

I think that Washbrook has had enough times to prove himself at stand-off and has failed to impress. Granted, Turner's no Long but I think he's got a smarter game than Washbrook. I'd prefer Turner or Tansey at half-back assuming Long isn't playing.



Just a question though: has Washbrook ever played at centre? If not then it might be worth giving him a try. Obviously with Hall and Yeaman both fit then that won't happen but he can't do much worse than he's done as a half.

He played there in France IIRC after we had suffered injuries. He's a loose forward with better than average skills, it's just that in this day and age loose forwards are just another prop.

Turner for me has a minimal skillset.

Spot on regarding both points for me. Not sure its this day and age though that means a 13 is another prop or simply Agars tactics. Leeds etc have ball playing 13 but that doesnt suit or up the jumper style.
