Seems to answer three of my questions:
What is he like in defence? he seems to be a good defender
What is he like in attack? seems to be a good ball runner and 4 try assists is good aswell
Does he have a kicking game? No, it doesn't seem like it
Sounds like we have signed Paul Turner from the Warriors according to Clarkey (and Warriors have just announced his release). Never really heard much about him, is he a good one?
Haven't really heard about him, but hopefully it means the club is gearing up to let go of Atay, use Paul Turner as a backup half and go after a marquee half.
If the rumours are true on Daryl Clark, means we need 1 half and 1 big bodied outside back to complete the squad.
Rumour on social media that Paul Turner may be announced this week.
Turner is as naturally gifted as they come, really surprised the Warriors didn’t find a way to keep him. He’s better than CHT imo.
He’s signed with us for less than the Warriors offered him, and chose us over Brisbane as well. Pleasing.
These highlights give a good indication of how he plays (different to previous ones posted):

He's got some good instincts, could def use a player which takes the line on. If it's not on overs I'm a happy man
He looks worth the punt and am happy if he signs with us. Also if he is signing for less, it shows a certain amount of intelligence and work ethic for long term gain.
I also think lisone and Clark must have something to do with this. Both being previous warriors and their careers succeeding at the Titans. With Holbrook in charge creating a happy environment things are on the up.
Interesting to watch how Holbrook operates. Last year he declined to resign injury prone players (Copley, Roberts, Cartwright, Hipgrave).
This year might be a clean out of players that are deemed to be on overs.
The Drongoes have not made a play for Ash, so it looks like his future may be in England. Proctor on a reported 600k may also struggle to remain here in Queensland.
We may not seem to be in the player market, however with money to spend, I think we are, we are just better at keeping the cards close to our chest.
Remember that we now have Ezra Howe (ex Warriors) as our recruitment manager.
Paul Turner's older brother Lee plays Q-cup for Tweed at centre. Nice to have a link there to the region.
We’ve signed Esan Marsters effective immediately. Isn’t he ****? Especially defensively
That Marsters signing is a weird one as he can't even crack the Cowboys side at the moment...although we are very short on centres I guess so he might be better than nothing
