Well i hear we offered 105k. This didnt match yours. Or Warringtons offers,

I can't beleive that Wire would offer over 105K for a centre when they've already got Bridge, Atkins and King. In a time of salary cap balancing, it would be madness.

Very overrated is Shenton, he's average in a Cas team. ridge is easily the best centre England has.

1. Bridge
2. Atkins
3. Shenton

In that order

NOTE: Did you not watch Bridge against the French and how good he was? His try assists, general play etc. Shenton was very very quiet, and that was against France god help him if he makes the team against the Aussies or the Kiwis.

Not that I want to join this childish tete-a-tete, but if you know anything about RL you'll know that comparing the stats of a centre from a top 2 club with those of a centre from a struggling bottom 3rd club is basically meaningless.

Fair enough Heres Shenton compared to an England centre palying Rugby for a team second from bottom. Again the stats don't favour Shenton and favour Clubb alot more. Does this mean Shentons England's fourth best centre. Link: http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010
