Thought he deserves a special mention with his outstanding contribution to the team on friday



Starting to score tries now and looking a good replacement for Gidley

Strange listening to his interview at the end of the match as i've never heard him speak before and thought he'd have a thick Yarkshire accent yer knows

Where is he from originally



Keep it up Shenny

He's a Cas lad, isn't he?

I heard him on the Saints podcast when he first started with us. He is very articulate with a nice voice that I enjoyed listening to again when I watched the match back.

He's doing very, very well for us. I remember a few Cas fans saying he was poor on defence but I have found him to be the total opposite. He's a demon tackler. I remember looking at the stats after the Leeds game: he made 22 tackles in that game (as opposed to Meli who made five). He seems really eager to get the ball and appears to know what to do with it when he gets it.

Based upon his performances so far I think he's been a good acquisition and I hope he is able to become more involved as the season progresses.

I think he's top player. I've always liked him from when he was young lad at cas playing in the league below.

He's got great feet, pace and solid in defence.

I should point out that there are a few people in Yorkshire who can articulate properly, as there are here in 'tellins

As for shenton hes doing a great job, and as he builds an understanding with the players either side of him this will only get better

He's top quality Shenton. His defence in particular is extremely good and he's happy to make 20+ tackles per game.

5 tries so far and he's not seen a great deal of ball. That's a good return.

He finished his try extremely well on friday and really showed George up when he put Ade in.
Top player.

He's shown a couple of times what he can do when he gets service. Something we need to think about.

But on top of that, his D is superb.

Shinton is rubbish.





YEAR OF WOLF

Ahh I see the school holidays are upon us

Dead funny lol....

Just think Shenton is no gud, we have Evans, Atkins, King and Bridge all lots better than Shenton.

Any cas fans that said his defence was poor dont know what they are talking about, been fantastic in defence for us over the years, glad he has settled well, always be one of my favourite players.

When we played HKR t'other week, Welham was being marked by young Gaskell and was causing him all sorts of bother. Late in the 1st half, we turned the ball over in their half and they quickly spread it wide to Welham who was 1 on 1 with Shents qith plenty of space either side - as soon as he got the ball, Shenton had the whole situation under control with 0% of Welham causing any bother.

Watch back the 2009 Four Nations Final. As soon as Shenton got knocked out of the game, it was a procession of Australian tries down that side of the pitch. I never had any worries over his defence.

Is he as 'gud' as your spelling?

What an hilarious fake account, congratulations on your lack of a life.

Now that is 'dead funny'! Evans is a promising young player, Atkins is very good against poor sides but no great against good teams. King was better than Shenton but I've not seen anything at all since he came to England to suggest he is anything other than on a par if not slightly below Shenton. Bridge just isn't.

thanks, changed it now

Jeez, the fishing's sure easy in the St Helens pond, this season.....

Hang your heads!

Very good point on the tackles though, he's a machine.

Think it only fait to also give an honourable mention to Gardner, had a cracking game last weeek, really put himself about, and is maybe starting to benefit from his partnership with Shenton.

Gardner has been excellent for a few weeks now. Shenton is bound to be playing a part in that.

Maybe some of us like being caught!

Shenton reminds me of Gleeson (when he first came to Saints) in some respects. He doesn't have Gleeson's footwork, but he's more direct and maybe possesses half a yard extra.

I suspect Lomax and Gaskell are both right handed halves, which would explain Shenton's lack of service as he's on the wrong side. It takes time for young playmakers to develop a solid wrong-side pass - but it'll come. The return of Pryce should help as he can shunt the ball to the right with some zip.
