Justin Turner Definitely rookie of the night!!

Chris O young was good but when Justin Turner came on there was a difference He had the boys going forward at a hell of a rate. I am really impressed with his attitude and thinking. He ain't afraid to try things and took on the best defensive team in the competition and did pretty well.

[Hoolly Doolly]

I cringed when he almost isolated himself twice and did that harlem globetrotters pass.......

[Working Class]

Turner was very impressive. Good young player. The Force actually have the potential to be an excellent team in the next 2 to 3 years. I have to congratulate the fans most of all. Incredibly loyal and were finally rewarded. Great crowd. Being a Tahs fan aswell I wish they could have a fan base as loyal and passioniate.

I see hard times ahead for Chris "O" and Shetland if Turner keeps that up.

[Burgs]

The #9 is in good hands as we shouldn't forget Swanepoel's efforts last week either!

[pieter blackie]

How do we retain all of them

[BDAVEY]

Turner has a top pass I saw him play for the Aussie school boys a few yaers back he was good then and will fill out..... he reminds me of a Nick F-J

[Burgs]

I imagine either of the senior two will be gone by 2012 for an as yet unknown reason, just the nature of Pro sport. So long as we can keep the junior two.

Isn't it odd the way one year we have a gaping shortage of something and then the next there is talent aplenty. 5 years ago we didn't have two quality props to rub together with the Wallabies and now there are a handful of contenders from every team. Things looked pretty grim in the 9 department post Gregan (Burgess has had some absolute shockers) but we have Will Genia in astonishing form, Justin Turner, Richard Kingi and a couple of others too.

If I must pick 2 for next year it will be Turner and Swanepoel. I really think they have more to give than "O" and the Pony

[benny]

Personally I would have Turner 2nd to Shennan.

COY is too slow and at the break down last night was out of position many of times.

Saying that COY has been loyal to the club and has always been in a shadow of other players "henjak / valentine / chucky / & now looks like turner".

If I was COY I would be knocking on the rebels door as he is a good player just keeps being pushed down the ladder - feel sorry for the bloke but he'll be there still young and a good backup.

For next season, I'd like Sheehan, Turner and Swanepoel, which is vary hard on O'Young, but I like Sheehan as a local lad and aren't Turner and Swanepoel local, too?

I'm not sure that Turner gets my prize for Rookie of the night, though. Nathan Charles looked very good. He might be a target for Melbourne.

[force addict]

i thought someone said that swanepoel was from QLD? but has played in our WA club games,.? that person could have lied

[Sheikh]

I'm perfectly prepared to be proved wrong - on occasion.

We should be able to carry three scrum-halves next year, and both Turner and Swanepoel are young, but they both look capable of backing up Sheehan.
