Well i hear we offered 105k. This didnt match yours. Or Warringtons offers, But it wasnt the money he has left for, He wants to win things, And he feels he can help you do that

I'd be a bit surprised if he's really on well over £100k. The truth is noone knows what we, cas, or anyone else has offered him

So perhaps it's Warrington that have signed him, not us?

Not a big fan - he's definitley the third best centre England has.

I can't beleive that Wire would offer over 105K for a centre when they've already got Bridge, Atkins and King. In a time of salary cap balancing, it would be madness.

Looks like hes signing for us. Cracking news, best english centre by a country mile.

Is he balls

Hes no Chris Bridge/Ryan Atkins thats for sure.

Very overrated is Shenton, he's average in a Cas team. ridge is easily the best centre England has.

1. Bridge
2. Atkins
3. Shenton

In that order

NOTE: Did you not watch Bridge against the French and how good he was? His try assists, general play etc. Shenton was very very quiet, and that was against France god help him if he makes the team against the Aussies or the Kiwis.

Agree completely - I think the stats prove Bridge is better

Hes played against the Aussies and Kiwis and gave a very decent account of himself, before going off injured in the Final and then England falling to pieces after that.

Warrington have all these players that are the best players in the league, yet they have only beat one team in the top 4 all season, and they aren't top of the league. How can that be possible.

But he has scored fewer tries and missed more tackles. I think most Saints fans are aware that they are getting a work in progress with Shenton, and are quietly pleased about it. All the panicking about who the best centre is seems to be coming from Warrington, which is, perhaps, telling.

Warrington offered him more money but he chose saints.

Obvioulsy Tony Smith doesnt rate the centres he already has....

Where has this been comfirmed?

I very much doubt that is true considering we have three great centres already and a very hot prospect in Rhys Evans coming through the ranks.

Let me take you back to the Four Nations final, last November. England outplaying the Aussies up until the hour mark. Shenton comes off injured after a severe clash of heads, and Australia score 4 or 5 tries all down the side Shenton would have been. A narrow England lead becomes a comfortable Australian victory.

So if you are such a strong believer in the stats and how it categorically proves Bridge is better than Shenton, do you also believe Graham's show how much better a prop he's always been than Morley?

Hasn't bridge played alot of games in other positions, like scrum half?

You seem very determined to tell us how much better your players are than ours.

I think the comments prove what a quality 'young british' centre were getting. In a quality side and as he develops physically he'll undoubtedly improve.

With the pack he'll be playing behind next year let's see the stats in 12 months time!

It's a petty argument, but it's also a pointless one as senior and gleeson are still better than the lot of them.

it is, but for all those who want to throw mud at us for it, judge him on how he plays when (and if) he pulls on a Saints jersey.
