[QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3286692, member: 1899"] Steve Turner was actually one of the best backline prospects when they signed him from the Panthers in 2003. He was considered the long term fullback option for the Panthers but then Wesser, Rooney and Lewis really came into their own that year and he had to look elsewhere. It was a good coup for Melbourne who had to find somebody to replace Marcus Bai who was the first real emerging star they had on their roster (followed quickly by Kimmorley). Unfortunately Turner had a string of injury issues that really impacted him. He suffered a serious knee injury against the Broncos and struggled to get consistent game-time as a result then he suffered a freak foot injury that basically robbed him of an entire season. I think he was still one of the best wingers in the competition when he returned in 2006 but he didn't quite become the freak that he promised to be. For instance I remember he replaced Slater in 2004 and scored a hat-trick against Penrith only to suffer another serious injury. I wouldn't mind doing a deep dive on Melbourne at some point because I read into what they were doing when Brisbane signed Seibold. I was looking for Seibs to make similar moves...and he basically did the complete opposite. [/QUOTE]
