Turner is doing phenomenal on the left wing and is both scoring tries and doing his job defensively. There isn't a place for Eden because of that. He has to earn his way back in.

How does he earn his way back in unless Turner gets a knock or loses form?

And swapping wings makes very little difference. Its only a preference to play a certain wing or a relationship between the centre and respective wing

I think you have answered your own questions there. In my opinion it makes a massive difference. Having being a centre myself, albeit at a lower level, you do the things you say, building trust and relationships with your winger. I used to always tell my winger not to get drawn to the ball as he had to have as much faith in me making the tackle as I did in my own defence and, if they did bite in, the opposite winger had a walk in.

Think it definitely makes more of a difference for a centre than it does winger. They have a preferred way of passing the ball, right handed centres play left center as it makes it easier to pass to winger.
But I was just a fat bloke in middle lol

As another fat lad in t'middle I've never really got to the bottom of wingers, their preferred side to pass (if any) or their preferred way to step (if any).

Very few wingers seem keen to take a man on the outside these days as the touch line can be used as an extra defender so do wingers have a preference for stepping of one foot or t'other.

I've also seen some wingers who are terrible at passing back to the inside of them so does this make a diffreence in the side they play?

Whatever the complexities are, there is still no substitute for speed and if I had it, I'd be happy to run down either wing, avoiding having to run around Ben Thaler in the middle.

A right winger controls the ball from a pass with his right hand then clutches the ball wit both, plus the right winger when needed to pass the ball inside will control the ball with his right arm and propel it mainly with force of his right hand. Ditto the left winger.

In fairness I've been pretty impressed with Olpherts. He makes really good metres on kick returns and always seems to find his front so he can play the ball quickly.
He's playing much better than he was towards the end of last season, in my opinion.

Wrong again.fergie bought players who were family men or intended to be very shortly.players with partners and children.even Beckham,nevilles,scholes,butt got married early 20s, was only giggs who was a bit of a play boy and he still had a long term partner at the time(fergie left him out on the occasions he misbehaved).name me a player(s) he still played who misbehaved outside of football.and don’t say cantona because his misdemeanours were on the pitch.you need to stop making things up mate to support your argument.by the way I’m a Liverpool fan so it pains me to make a argument for fergie.
Lee Chapman may disagree with your view on EC..?
Pogba? I'm also a liverpool fan lol. Not the worst crime in the world but partying before a game and setting fireworks off in your apartment are abit silly aha.
