He was due to be part of the swap between Warriors and Broncos with Reece Walsh. Turner wants to get over here to be with his brother. The Broncos tried to change ( read low-ball) the deal after it was done so he pulled out. Warrior really wanted to keep him. Just look up his YouTube highlights and you will see we have a good one. The Warriors forum had some teary people also.
Highlights of Paul Turner:

Guess we don't need SJ. So who loses? ATay or El CaptanoQuote:

5 year plan.
Gee i’d like to see a “been there done that” head in there somewhere.
Boyd is on the outer for mine but hopefully he can prove me wrong.
I have also read somewhere he can play back up hooker could be the next utility for us ???? or ball playing lock didn't someone say he is 6 foot
I also think Boyd wont be re-signed now we got Turner
Taylor I have no worries in saying goodbye to him but I would like us to go after L Lam
Sexton to me has the something x about him just want him to have 2 or 3 games this year to get the taste for it
Luki from Cowboys would give a good young 2nd row edge player and Atoni 2nd row centre would great cheap pick ups
Also bring back XAVIER SAVAGE from the raiders fu## he is so quick . Just cant find a Hooker B Smith would be good Maybe we should look at the Storm understudy in Smoothy From the Falcons
What do you see in Lam, JAF?
I think Lam has a good has a bit of team management about him seems to have a bit of time on his hands
In the games I have seen him play he seems to be able to hold his on in a tackle Where Walker and Keary seem to get hidden in the line when defending I felt a little bit sorry for Boyd the last game as he did get no-one to help him
I think Sexton really is our half for the future I just hope he not just thrown in next year
KYLE FLANAGAN would be good as a number 2 half but not to lead the side but just in kicking and taking the pressure of the number 1 half
Fair enough. I’ve not seen it myself and have thought Lam lacks creativity and game sense when I’ve seen him play, but I admittedly don’t watch Roosters games religiously. Hard disagree on Flanagan. Don’t see anything in him at all.
Both Lam and Flanagan have played in a roosters pack with some of the best heads going around and Cronk as a halves coach and have struggled to fire. It will be interesting to see how Lam goes against the titans this weekend.
Flanagan can't even make the 17 of the worst team in the comp. I feel he has had the shortstraw over the past few years, but when the Roosters and now the Dogs are dropping you, things aren't looking promising.
We need to go something along the lines of a creative five eight that can run kick and have a little X factor, which is why I like Paul Turner. He would complement a game controlling half like George Williams (if he's even possible. I'd be doing anything I could to get him in a titans jersey) Fogarty hasn't impressed me at all this season. He is a strong leader but you can see why he has struggled to crack first grade over his career.
I also feel as if we need another prop that brings fire power to our squad. Lindsay Collins would be my pick as he is off contract at the end of 2022. He could be our NAS to complement Moe similar to what NAS does with Christian Welch. Collins is also a Queenslander so he could be willing to head back home?
Well said mate. I for one am with you with the Williams/Collins additions if that was possible?
Wow they would be great inclusions IMO
Collins is quality. I would take him for sure.Quote:
