I like Shenton and hope he stays at Cas

I'd rather see Watkins get the chance at Leeds and I also think Watkins has got more potential to his game than Shenton, if he ever reaches it is another thing.

Because what we want is a league where every game is tough so the players can't just go through the motions. The top players need to be playing at a higher intensity.

In a league consisting of a big 2, then a host of mediocre clubs beneath them, then that will not happen.

I can only wonder what sort of fate you'd wish upon a player you didn't like.

What he said.

Making judgements on the basis of one performance?

How very ted of both of you, apparently.

Typical though.

I think we can also point to the respective careers of the two players. Shenton was built up in that particular game and Senior gave him a masterclass.

However. Castleford 38 Leeds 20 anyone?

I can understand the principle of what is said, but we are years and years and years away from that.

In the meantime, if every potentially really good player plays alongside mediocre players they will just not improve. Therefore the logic of making us stronger internationally goes out the window.

I understand it needs to start somewhere, but it will always be catch up working that way.

Michael Coady will be the man to replace Senior.

judge a centre by how much quality ball his winger gets.
hall got nothing off shenton in the 4 nations. for me he is not good enough.
watkins by plenty although coady looks pretty usefull too

Shows how much you paid attention because Shenton didn't get much either. However their side in defence was immaculate. Although can you blinkered views possibly give anyone but a leeds player credit? I shan't be holding my breath.

nothing to do with team bias. i just don't rate him that highly. i like owen and i rate westerman but shenton? not really

That dream pairing of Eastmond & Tomkins not get the ball out to him then?
Doubtless it was Sinfield's fault.
I thought defensively that side was pretty sound & that surprised me since I thought that was the weakest part of Shenton's game. But then I've only really seen him trying to defend against Senior who has tended to nullify the attacking potential of any Superleague centre playing on his side of the pitch.

I'll give you a nice shiny shiny if you can manage it for 10 minutes.

Work the time out on your new watch.

Just so that you are aware, you are on the Leeds board and we reserve the right to be biased towards Leeds players.

If you don't like that I politely suggest you F off.
