Are you sure you weren't thinking of something else?

I'd have him at Saints like a shot.

Crazy world when we welcome wife beaters to the game with open arms, but someone who pulls a stupid drunken prank isn't fit for the shirt.

Correct,
Otherwise if Longy's book is to be believed, many of the Saints players in his time at the club would have been relieved of their positions had their actions been videoed.

True, and I'm pretty sure the drunken shennanigans aren't limited to Saints players.

I wasn't implying they were were, merely using Longys articles in his book as an example.

Oh yes you jolly well was.

According to Stuart Pyke, Castleford are in for him.

Makes sense considering both Shenton and Evans have left.

who would a St Helens supporter prefer at centre? Monaghan or Shenton?

Both.

Shenton - I like the fact that our first XVII is more British than most.

shentons there for the long haul,monaghan will be back home as soon as someone shouts 'here boy'

monaghan is world class though. shenton is... quick.

True, but shenton's got a few years to carry on developing. What is he - 24?

Monoghan will be a great signing for whoever gets him. I'm looking forward to seeing him in SuperLeague.

Shenton looked pretty classy against the World Champions and eventual tournament winners - despite playing with an ankle ligament injury for most of the game.

Correct, it's a great opportunity for someone, a bit like the Saints signing of Jamie Lyon, and Catalan signing Greg Bird, a very good player becoming unexpectedly available.

He's nowhere near the class of either of those players in their respective positions IMO.

He's never really impressed me when I've seen him play, I wouldn't be overly excited if he came to Saints.

Sign him up, he's top dog.

..if a little rrruff around the edges

At least he'll get the brunt of mickey taking at Cas with the added advantage of the home support seeing nothing wrong with lewd acts on animals

Whether is dog grooming or pig shooting, good to see a player of his calibre in SL.

Wires will have Atkins, King, Bridge and Monaghan all vying for centre spots in 2012. Unless that means the end of two out of those four?

King by most accounts will be back in Aus

Monaghan should be thought of as a direct replacement for King IMO. Bridge isn't anything special and Atkins could easily moved to the wing where Hicks will be leaving.

If this is confirmed it once again shows the difference in ambition amongst the SL clubs at the moment. Clubs like Warrington and Wigan seem hell beant on winning, whereas the likes of Saints and Leeds don't seem particularly focused in what they are doing.

Saints seem to be economising and not caring if we win and Leeds seem happy with their run of success and look happy to sit back and watch it unfold for a year or two.
