I'm sick of hearing the bloody idiots having a go at Englands best centre.

Come on Shenny, shut that bunch of tools up with a match winning show

Did not got much ball or room to move today BUT he did what he could, at least he looked interested in the first 40. Given time it may well turn around for him.

Was certainly England's best centre to do. That tackle on Slater to get him out of play was world-class.

best game so far from shenny he did nothing wrong and tackled very well,thought he was going to score at the end if only he got more service from the halves.

Him, Tompkins and Hall were fantastic on our left side, Australia got nothing down that side, shame we can say for our 'experienced' heads of Smith and Maguire down the right

First half today and the ball just didn't get passed across to Shenton's side. I don't think Shenton could do much more than he did. Second half and Shenton was a bit more involved. I thought he did well and deserves his place against New Zealand. BTW weren't all the Aussie try's down the opposite side of the field to where Shenton was.

I was very pleased by shenton was our top back in defence (the combination of ellis, shenton and hall outwide was inpenatrable for the aussies), caused two aussie knock ons, forced an aussie player out of play, made meters out of dummy half and made an offload under alot of pressure that if roby had took could have resulted in a try. Cant recall him making a mistake or giving away a penalty.

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

And we know there is more to come.

He only got a 5 on the sporting life ratings, Crabtree got best rating.

Crabtree made a difference when he came on, but Shenton didn't see much of the ball because England just didn't play it to his side of the field.

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.

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.
