With it looking likely that this could be Ellis last year, do you think putting a contract to Savelio would be good business? He is a pretty destructive runner and isn't fully developed yet, very young, and combined with the return of Hadley next year, could see is with a high quality, young back row.

Savelio looks something really special given his age. BUT..Word is his attitude is off and hes a terrible trainer. Which I think sounds true if I think logically about it. Was at saints. Young player of the yr. Not long after moved on. Loan at cas but they never appeared to get much out of him or tried to sign permanent. Gone to wire on a 1 year deal. Started off the year looking a real prospect again. But suddenly out of the team a while. Back in now mind but still not tied to a deal
Maybe the kind of player radders could get right attitude wise in which case got a future international

I am hoping Turgut will develop as a regular for next season.
Not really seen anything from him to get excited about but has the pace and build to be similar to Bateman

I'm sorry but I really don't rate Turgut that highly at the moment, sure he's got time on his hands to get better but he's only 2 years younger than Bateman and the disparity in quality is massive. the likes of Fash and even Matongo are in front of him as far as value to the team IMHO.

he's also a niggly little sod, that late shoulder charge/hit on the Cas player well after the ball had gone and a few other things in previous games are really not something you'd expect of a junior player wanting to make their way up the ladder. If Green was fit and/or we had Hadley he wouldn't get a look in for me.

If you don't rate him he'll probably be in the England squad in a couple of years

I can see turgut being a good player for us. So what if he niggles the opposition. Nice to see a youngster who's got abit of mongrel about him. As long as he's smart with it and doesn't turn into a penalty machine.

Re: Recruitment and retention : Tue Jun 20, 2017 9:39 pm  

turgut will have a long and successful pro career. Anyone who can't see how good he can be doesn't know much about the game

That's how I see him. 1st time I saw him play I thought 'I like him' stood out from the rest. That was the open day at KC 2013 playing for acadamy

Re: Recruitment and retention : Tue Jun 20, 2017 10:33 pm  

Turgut reminds me somewhat of Bateman. Not that big, but runs good lines and has a bit of mongrel in him.
Future FC captain.

Re: Recruitment and retention : Tue Jun 20, 2017 10:46 pm  

It is also ridiculous to compare him to Bateman who is an exceptionally good player and was one of the very best teenage forwards I have ever seen. Turgut has been progressing well still has room for physical improvement. If he carries on at his current rate then there's plenty to look forward to. Only 21 and more potential upside than the much older Hadley or the smaller Fash. Hope all of them go well though.
