Quote: Dico "The frustrating thing is the amount of times Gleeson doesnt turn up.
Against the aussies he's simply not big enough or fast enough either yet he's still the best option outside of Senior.
Shenton does seem to have the step, the size, the pace but im not sure if he's got that experience yet, it's a different game international footy, where patience and clinical finishing is required.
Gleeson on his day is still a fairly class centre, I think sometimes he gets disgarded due to being one of the old guard and sometimes people would rather pick players because they're new but in reality they'd be found out more than the old guard. You can blood a couple but put 3 or 4 inexperienced in against the aussies and you're screwed'"
So when does is Shenton gain this 'experience' against Wales or France? When the standard is no better than super league ( national league in the case of wales).In order to compete with the best you must play them on a regular basis. Get rid of these tired old men who have failed with every chance theyve been given and get the young lads in NOW that way we'l be ready to compete come the next world cup/ashes.Oh and 'clinical finishing' how many tries has gleeson scored compared to shenny this season?

Quote: barnsley bill "He only got a 5 on the sporting life ratings, Crabtree got best rating.'"
Any rating that put shenton on the same level as mguire and worse than smith really are worthless. Those two were responsible for pretty much every aussie score.
Quote: duke street 10 "Im pleased Shenny did well, limited with ball in hand but defense was great. We could have found a centre/wing partnership of the future in Shenny & Hall.
The other side of the field where Mcguire & smith defended was a joke...love to hear the Leeds fans give excuses for their s***e performances
Quote: MR BROWN "mcguire and smith were rubbish, but to be fair the aussies targeted that side which put shenton and company under considerably less pressure. imo apart from crabtree, burgess and tomkins in the second half, they were all fairly average. the aussies took their foot off the gas in the second half, the game was already theirs. shenton should be one of the first choice centres. to be honest the english haven't got many decent centres when compared to the aussies and the kiwi's. we seem to lack the same desire and aggression and will to win, that they have.'"
However, despite this, Shenton made more tackles the the others and did not put a foot wrong all game.

Shenton playing against the kiws too, hopefully we will get to see what they he can do in attack as well as defence with eastmond and tompkins in the halfs.
