Not really, I just have a pure rivalry with Saints, sort of want you to do well as long as you just finish behind us sort of thing. It's better for both of us if we're both up there. Shentons a good signing, but he's not a top class centre (at least not yet), but British talent is in such demand I just hope you've not had to shell out top class centre money.

Warrington however, is just a general dislike!

Shenton wasn't worth the money he was asking. He is a good player, but his form this year has not been great, he is certainly no Lyon/Gidley.

How much was he asking then?

.... unlike all the other British centres out there that we could have approached instead.

Re: Michael Shenton : Sat Jul 24, 2010 12:57 pm  

I personally think Bridge is the best current British centre.

I regard Shenton as a good player that good develop further in a top class side.

I am not however expecting Jamie Lyon or Matt Gidley.

I agree, he is a great talent, very under-rated too.

Still can't believe Gleeson isn't in the squad though, he's been fantastic all season.

Except his match-losing, missed tackle on Lee Smith in the Challenge Cup Quarter Final?
