.... unlike all the other British centres out there that we could have approached instead.

I personally think Bridge is the best current British centre.

I regard Shenton as a good player that good develop further in a top class side.

I am not however expecting Jamie Lyon or Matt Gidley.

I agree, he is a great talent, very under-rated too.

Except his match-losing, missed tackle on Lee Smith in the Challenge Cup Quarter Final?

So for 1 tackle at the end of a long hard game he should miss out on the squad?

No.

It's in paper today that wigan have denied they going to jump in and get shenton.

Which paper?

News of the world or the people, not sure which but it's defo one of them.

Wow some real highbrow reading there. Like a challenge on Sunday do we.



Thnx for the info though.

Thought you lot don't rate shenton ?

Over last few weeks all the pies have done is bag shenton off.

I have heard that steve matai is being linked to saints, so might be some truth in it.

Can't see wigan signing shenton, he's english!

I can see Matai slotting in at Saints. He's used to being out injured so should fit right in with your fragile youngsters.

He would slot in at wigan with all the other overseas players. He might even have a irish grandparent knocking about somewhere.

Leneghan said he went for Shenton but the money you offered for him he wasnt prepared to match/beat

He spoke to you in person and told you this ?

All wigan and warrington fans are born with an ability that tells them what every single player in the world earns, or wants

Or have actual Irish parents? We cant all have a team full of local lads born and bred and eligible for there country like Fas'avalu

If you see IL in person and ask him a question he wont hide or refuse to answer normally hes very honest and open dont be surprised if he has told people in person. IL has got a pay structure he wants to keep to and wont be taken for a ride for the likes of Shenton.

Nobody claims he has english, irish, scots or welsh grandparents, i think you'll find he played for GB on the grounds he's been here playing for many years, not because he has irish mum and dad.

Maybe you just couldn't find the cash for a good young english centre because of your new imports?

which is more British...someones parents whos are or someone who lived here 5 years plus



The Shenton thing was before the imports. I still dont think hes saints quality like I said on page 2. You normally have top notch players and I dont think he is.

Fas'avalu meeets the criteria laid down by the respective sporting bodies, if you keep getting winks like that you need specsavers,

Must try harder

No, just "local lads" who play for New Zealand...
