As for Shenton, he's not world class, he looks a big fish in a small pond at Castleford, if he did come to Saints, it would be interesting to see what wage he was on, as i dont think his ability would command a high salary, however, something tells me he wont come cheap.

130k P/A is the rumour, Cas & Wigan told him what he can do when he demanded that.

If true I'm glad we didn't get him. Certainly not worth that sort of money.

If people honestly believe Saints will give him 130k p/a then you're seriously deluded. We're not Wigan Warriors.

We won't be paying that much to Gidley let alone Shenton.

Like previous posters have said it reminds me of a bit like Gleeson when we signed him from Hudds.

Shenton for me has all the potential to be a top class centre.

Seems like his injury wasn't too bad: "He's going to go for precautionary scans but he saw the specialist yesterday and we're 99% sure it's not serious," said Castleford coach Terry Matterson. "He definitely won't play at Salford on Sunday and he probably won't play the week after but he could be back the week after that. "We're really pleased because it didn't look good. Something popped out but it popped back in again. We're due a bit of good luck." http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... eford.html

We aint signed him yet. Could all look a bit silly in a couple of months,

Re: Michael Shenton : Thu Jun 17, 2010 4:12 pm  

True, but it's a very strong rumour from numerous sources and makes perfect sense in terms of our squad.

I'd be surprised if he's not a Saint next year TBH.
