The way I look at Shenton, hes young, hes english, hes got pace and hes got potential.

BUT when you consider hes signing as a replacement for Gidley, who replaced Lyon, hes simply not in the same bracket. Sorry, but thats true.

Thats not saying he wont be a successful player, but to put it simply, his signing doesnt fill me with the kind of excitement that someone like Jennings would.

But we have 'NO' chance of signing somebody like Jennings. You need a reality check.

You are right with Jennings, but we have manage'd marquee signings Lyon, Perry, Soliola were hardly at the end of their careers

Let us not forget Soliola will be a new signing next year as well so with Perry and the much rumored Shenton & LMS we have some very useful additions for 2011

I can't imagine another big name signing from Aus given Perry's already on his way.
Shenton isn't quite up to the level of Gidley, but is a welcome addition to the squad in my opinion. SL seems defence and forward orientated at the moment.
Where's the LMS rumour come from? Does it have any substance, or just is it just hearsay?

I know, I don't think we will make another huge signing, just highlighting that we can do when the right one is there. With Perry bagged and strong rumours about Shenton and LMS, combined with Soliola's return I do believe we'd have an excellent squad in 2011, I'd like to see Flannery get one more year too.

That'll be because he's not a Warrington player I bet.

That's because you've probably never watched a rugby game or you don't understand the game at all.

Don't worry he's too young for Warringtons team ... maybe in another 10 to 15 years and then he'll be the right age for Wire.

P.S does the winter heating allowance count in the salary cap .... just a thought given the age of the Warrington squad next year?
