Tall & willowy (cf Eric Ashton) not built like Senior or any number of the Aussies & Kiwis you could mention.'"
Yes but he is still young and could grow into his frame. Look at shenton (granted i don't rate him but saints do) he ain't big, I could snap him! And even atkins ain't as big in the flesh. He looks alot bigger on tv. |

Shenton aint big?
Are you mixing your players up? You should stand at the side of him. Shenton is a big lad, perfect frame for a centre. |

Compare him to Inglis, Kenny-Dowall, Sau, Senior etc, then tell me he's big & has a perfect frame for a centre.
He may be reasonably tall but he's far from well-built. |

Why compare him to those? why not compare him to Gidley, Hodges, Tate, Yeaman, Gleeson? |

Compared to all those I still believe that he would be skinnier.
But keep on trying, eventually you'll find someone half decent who's even less well built than Shenton.
But that's only my opinion, but then it's only yours as well. |

I don't need to keep trying mate, he is bigger and more muscular (sound at bit gay here) than those that I mentioned.
I just don't think you know who Shenton is. |

The centre owned by the much bigger Keith Senior everytime I've seen the Rhinos play Cas, is that the one? |

You are certainly nearly correct. Although have seen Shenton hand Senior is harris on two occassions, though accepted the other way round has previosly been the norm.
However, that said in what way does Senior in his prime and a young Shenton have anything to do with whether or not Shenton is the right frame to be a centre?
Did you miss all the times that Senior in his prime owned nearly every centre he came up against? |

Seeing that as I saw Keith's debut, virtually every home game since & a good number of away games too, the answer is no. Nor do I recall the 2 occasions when (allegedly, in your view), Shenton outplayed him, those must have been in games I missed.
Hence my concern that we do not have centres or other backs of a suitable size, build & pace to trouble the antipodeans in particular.

I suspect one of the occasions Gotcha is grasping at was the game at Cas five days after the WCC win over Melbourne, in which Leeds fielded a patched-up side and just about every player got outplayed by their Cas counterpart.
Can't think of the other one off the top of my head, but even so I reckon that must make it about 12-2 in Senior's favour, not bad for an old man.
