Quote: Cecil B "I'll 2nd that.

Whilst expressing my doubts about Shenton (above) he seems the best centre available from the 24 man squad picked (Lee Smith may appear a greater attacking threat to some supporters but I have my doubts about his defensive abilities, particularly against the big guns).'"


And they are BIG guns. I'd have gone Shenton/Bridge myself. At least Bridge is 6 foot and more than 12 1/2 stone wet...Oh, and he's not leaving the game in a few weeks

Well, the French are winning at half time. We've got to do better or we don't stand a chance against NZ and Oz.

In a far from convincing performance by England I don't think Shenton looked any better or worse than most of his team mates. Though he must take a fair bit of responsibility for the 1st French try when he failed to put a decent tackle on Greenshiels allowing him to offload to the tryscorer.

He barely got an opportunity to run with the ball, receiving it only occasionally and invariably in a position with the defence right on top of him, though he's had plenty of practise of that with some of the passes sent his way by the likes of Goldy this season!

I'm caught in two minds about whether he should play next week. On the one hand I don't see why he should be singled out to be dropped on the back of last nights effort and it's not as if there's a compelling alternative to put in his place.

On the other, Australia's current test centres - Inglis and Hodges - are 2 of the best they've had in a long time. Remember how Shenton went against Senior at Headingly this year and imagine that multiplied fivefold!

All professional sportspeople are incredibly positive and there's no doubt Shenton will have it in his head he would love the challenge of facing up to the best in the game. But next week could be one of those games where anyone not selected for England could improve their future prospects by not being associated with the game!

Look at Shenton record of playing against Senior scored loads trys against him and believe it or not but Inglish known in ARL for not been the best tackler and micky has an even advantage over Inglis he faster than him and Inglis will not be used to that.

But they will be on opposite sides, Smith will be up against Inglis, Shenton up against Hodges, going by what i saw in the 2 matches, if of course they get selected.

smith has played shenton on both the left and the right(whichever way most of the play isnt going it seems) so we cant know who will be up against who.

Very true, he did switch Shenton in the Welsh game when Bridge came on, but Smith always plays on the right for Leeds. Going by other peoples comments on the forums they dont want Shenton in, Ellis, Bridge or Eastmond to play there instead but all seem confident in Lee Smith.

It's because he's a Cas player. If he was playing for Leeds or Saints, everyone would want him in.

Can't say Shenny's put a foot wrong in any of his games for England. He's hardly stood out, but nobody has

I thought he had a decent game too, but can't say I heard anyone slagging him off where I was sat, although many of those around were Cas supporters, maybe those who watched on TV could give their opinions and let us know what the pundits had to say about him. Have to say that Tony Smith must have thought he did ok to select him again.

He did nothing wrong buddy, i'l tell you why they will have been slating him, because he doesn't play for Leeds Rhinos, Saint Helens or any other "popular" club.

And to you who was slating the guy, give him a break. He deserves that spot and even if he's far from greatness yet, you need the experience to get there. Cheer on your country for gods sake!!! d040.gif
