his mistakes gave us game but i would like to see him at leeds what the thoughts .. do you think he is our type of player

on last nights display no.

I think he would be a quality signing and to just judje him on last nights preformance would be silly, the conditions were horrible and he is still very young.

i would agree on that. i think he will become a really good player,although i'm not sure he will reach the very top level

I would sign him in an instant, however it has allways been my belief he should stay at Cas for the good of the game.

Shenton would make an excellent addition at Leeds. English, young, experience of playing left and right and shown an ability to do both.

Why would he want to leave Castleford though? He has already shown them loyalty despite two relegation seasons, will already be one of Castleford's highest earners, under contract, well coached with a proposed new ground to look forward to.

Just changing the subject slightly, Jodie Broughton has just scored a nice try for Hull, playing on the wing though. Maybe we can look forward to:

Jones-Bishop, Broughton, Smith, Watkins, Hall

in a few years time?

I believe Michael Shenton has signed a four year contract just last year for us at Cas so he should be there up to at least then.

That only means he will command a fee....
Money talks..
therefor he won't be coming to Leeds

Leeds were offered Shenton in the off season and rejected him - so I don't see us signing him anytime soon - plus having David Howes as your agent makes it tough to get a gig with the Rhinos

both times I've seen him play when I've made a point of watching him he's made significant errors which have handed the opposition team meaningfull advantage.

But that's just two games out of however many he's played for Cas.

What's our type of player?

So Cas offered Leeds a player that they had just persuaded to re-sign with the club?














Funniest thing I've heard since Hethrington supposedly offered Brent Webb for McGoldrick

Not just saying it cos im a Cas fan...but Shenton is a class player, wouldnt say he had a poor perfomance yesterday, but didn't he have a standout perfomance either. You cant blame him for picking up the ball yesterday, he was in a loose, loose situation really.
When you watch week in week out, you can see he's class.
Yes money talks, but I can't see Cas offloading one of there main players.

If I had to pick only 5 players to keep he would be high up that list

Shenton, Westerman, Chase, Sargent and Mcgoldrick.. Sherwin but can't see too many seasons left in him, theres a lot more I would keep and not sell but shenton 4 sure Is 1 of them

No Cas didn't offer the player his agent did - not quite the same thing

Shentons agent David Howes tried to arrange talks with Leeds before Shenton resigned with Cas. Leeds rejected the advance so Shenton took the only option open to him.

You look really silly now but you'd be used to that.

Shock horror agent tries getting player a better deal!



No that doesn't make me look silly because we all know that he had offers from other clubs.

The original quote also said at the end of last season, which was AFTER he signed his new contract.

Where does he say it was last off season? It was the one before as it happens.

As you were.

HTH

slow week again i see

But the bottom bit is true.

LMAO

no realy!!!!!!

But i thought it was within our CEO's powers to simply click his fingers and get any right centre our fan based dreams of?

I haven't seen too much of him but he was no great shakes Friday and the previous time I watched Cas to see how he went I was far more impressed with Owen.

Clearly a well regarded player but I am not yet convinced he's the answer to the problem I am not convinced we have.

Where have you heard that?

As I explained in my earlier post I see plenty of reasons why a player who has shown tremendous loyalty to Castleford through two relegation seasons in the past would remain loyal to Castleford now.

The question is would posters like to see Shenton play for Leeds? This poster says yes while acknowledging it's highly unlikely to happen anytime soon.



Right centre is a problem area, has been since Toopi's departure, but it's not the only issue facing Leeds.

To have a better chance winning silverware.

Which other issues do you think there are?
