Glad you're ok Jordan.
Think your anger is better directed at the person who told you that you were the next Wally Lewis and to go on the Brendan Hill diet.
To then drop you like a stone.
You have had a few shockers but the club has damaged you more than the fans.
Salford might be the right place to reinvent yourself.
Personally another season with Nathan Brown would have made you into the quality Loose forward, I think you probably are
All levity aside, I haven't seen anything in this thread I would regard as offensive re Turner. Certainly nothing that would overstep the line of decency.
Plenty of criticism of his performances, and rightly so imo.
When you're in the media spotlight (celebrity or professional sportsman) you have to take the brickbats and the bouquets.
Given he was in the shower and getting changed after the game as normal he is probably fine, he'll undergo head tests and will probably get a few days rest.
As for the 'mean' comments ..well tbh he's been shite now for a while , seems to have lost the ability to defend and does look to have stacked up a fair bit of timber which gives him the mobility of the titanic. Mean maybe but sadly true and getting a bump on the head won't change that.
That said I wouldn't wish concussion on anyone , I had a double one and it was pretty nasty to say the least
Personally thought he faked it at the time - guess the coach did too judging by his lack of concern
According to a write up in The Daily Star (OK, pinch of salt) he'll miss this weekend with concussion.
Makes Cunningham's apparent lack of concern look ridiculous, another shining example of a total lack of man management / motivation from the genius.
Very rarely do you see rugby players fake an injury and I personally think the suggestions he did are totally out of order.
Really don't know what him "putting on a bit of timber" and "being shite for a while" have got any relevance whatsoever to the debate regarding his apparent injury either

to be fair Catalans away in the heat.....I'd have a concussion.
Learned comment from The Don
He was asked about how Turner was in a post match interview and he was quite nonchalant, almost dismissive in his reply. Can't recall his exact words but something like 'Is Jordan Turner ok?' KC ' I assume so , hes in the shower and getting changed' . He didn't slag him off or anything.
I got the impression there was a clash of heads early doors in the collision. Hopefully Turner will be ok and available for selection. Catalans have some big players out wide.
According to the Star he wont be. They are probably just guessing however rightfully these days head injuries are treated with extra caution

When questioned about the nature of his injury - on probably two or three occasions - he merely repeated "I don't know" It was his apparent lack of concern - shown by him appearing not to have made himself aware of the possible injury to one of his players who'd been grounded for over 5 minutes and carried off on a stretcher - that made his comments sound pathetic

Have a listen, about 2:40 unless you really want to hear the words of wisdom about places Cunningham wants to be , how hes taken stick since he was 17 (really?) and how those of us sick of the crap being churned out aren't real fans.

No wish to fall out with you pal, but whilst the original post started some while ago was just about his performance, it was reactivated by a specific question about his injury.
Him bulking up - and the possible impact on his performances therefore are a) not relevant to that and b) are almost certainly down to the way his development has been mismanaged by the club.

It's all good , cant argue he's been badly mismanaged. He's been played all over the park and looks a shadow of the player he was a few seasons back. I think he may have made a good ball playing loose forward myself, bit of pace, size and hands good enough to play at 13

Terrible to listen to. As long as the efforts there, you will get results and it could have been 26-24? No Keiron, effort is the minimum expectation, however skill and coaching is what wins games. Im sure you can get a team off redvee that would give you 200% in the shirt, but you will lose every game by a cricket score. The bit about I presume we are looking around was also terrible and agree, he didn't give a shite about Turner, I think the journalist was gobsmacked.
