I could say Turner, too. but he never really got a sustained shot at it.

Cosgrove - left, AToolis - left, SHC - left, various flyhalfs - jamesmatthew & left.
Dean, Kinghorn, Bradbury and Ritchie were all standout age grade players destined for the top.
He didn't do a good job at all.

Just one example. How many others slip through the net?
The plan to bring young players into a good team was fundamentally flawed in we couldn't sign the players to make us a good team!
Cockers has his faults too with youth development. Think he could take a few more risks.

Perhaps Leonard was never really going to make it at top league level, perhaps with the right guidance he would have done.
I agree that Turner is a good fit at Glasgow, but when I saw Fenton play last season I thought we got a good deal

I was talking to someone in the pub when Harry Leonard first signed, he had coached Leonard at school and the opinion was that he was not a Cipriani, but he was a brilliant game-manager who took instruction well, I think he's with Yorkshire Carnegie now.
