He was still on the field during your 2nd try, so technically you had 14 on the pitch.

Cheats.

If he was then I wouldn't disagree. I have no time for cheats, no matter who they play for.

Hence my pathological dislike of S. Bunnykins.

He was on the field, he was down at the opposite end of the field lay on his back with the physio, whilst Foster came running on. Foster must have got the call from the 4th official to enter the field of play though.

He'll be fit for next week, as will Roby, Cunningham and Tommy Martyn.

If only!

I know this cannot and will not happen but if Saints were to name Cunningham in the squad fro Friday every singe Wire fan would take a gulp.

He did do a number on you, didn't he?



*sigh* Those were the days!

Talk about dramatics instead of waiting for some clarification when looked at!

Diagnosis from the touch line - truely laughable.His next post said it may not be too bad! Even more laughable.

I think you find it was Gaskell he kept going round Shenton gets no ball what so ever its a joke

I think you need to watch again as it was GASKELL, who Carmont left for dead!!!!!

I feel really sorry for Shenton, gets no ball and when he does, it's from a hospital pass.

Hope he isn't out for too long, as we would really miss him......

Please Royce, get our backs to get the ball to SHENTON..... He is the guy with a big number 3 on his back!!!!!

MMMMM not sure.

You are right he has got no service whatsoever. The only chance he gets with the ball is jumping into dummy half on an exit set.

He has just been asked to tackle.

If that is the way saints want to play then they may as well play Falnnery at centre and have done with it.

Lacking a decent strike centre with pace for a couple of seasons and don't use him. Bonkers.

We do lack a strike centre and we have Shenton.Say's it all

Is it just me or do you lot that watch him week in week out think Shenton is struggling a little at Saints compared to his time at Cas?

Nope, I don't think he's struggling. I think we have some daft fans looking for scapegoats for a loss though! Shenton has hardly had any service since coming to Saints. With losing our halfbacks for the season we have had inexperience there and they can only pass to their left. Gaskell has tended to kick to the right, so Shenton does see action occasionally. But for the most part he's left to freeze his nuts off unless he comes looking for work, which he does. I've no complaints about him.

Yeh the left passing does make us a tad predictable. Something for Lomax and Gaskell to work on in the off season.

Shenton is probably just really bored.

I would probably change the word struggling for frustrated. This season I can,t recall any game where he has received Quality Ball, there dos,nt seem to be any set plays involving Shenton either. Most of this can be all down to our season long half back disruption.
I,m sure when saints start to fire on all cylinders (!!!!!) we will see Shenton's quality come through. If we are lucky, we might see some combinations with Pyrce and Shenton, but I'm not holding my breath.

For me at the moment he really seems to be getting the basics wrong though, quality players do not need quality service. I was really hoping Wigan would sign him from Cas but from what I have seen thus far more than happy we have not.

Yeah right. You know feck all about rugby if that's your summation of it!

how so?

It was the "quality players do not need quality service" bit. Think you got off lightly from SAINTSFAN just then.

I would agree. I was too busy having a more interesting conversation IRL to be ar$ed!

i'd agree with jonh to be honest. He's been disapointing, yes hes not had amazing service, but that never stopped Gidley or Lyon. Yes we've been spoilt with true world class centres, but he knew the boots he was filling when he came here

And, er, who did they have playing around them? Lomaskell? Andrew Dixon? Matty Ashurst? Purlease! No comparison.
