As as already been mentioned either player would be an improvement to what we have already.

Shenton if he comes then, as he should, no real Westerman like aliegence to Cas and dislike of us.'"
Dont know where you got that one, he's cas through and through, thought he was going to burst into tears after the last derby (though he always seems to look like he wants to cry does shenny). |

I hope you are. Because these self righteous people coming out with this sort of [ie[/i on here is becoming increasingly boring.
Money that Cas would get for Shenton would far better help them out than Shenton staying. Players come and go, and it is up to clubs to match the aspirations of their players if they want to keep them. Not just to keep them to get a closer playing field. If they cant do it then that is their problem, they then need to look to their next best option. |

I have to say I agree though that Shenton has hit a plateau at this point in the season and is nowhere near his early season influence or form. I guess it coincides with Castleford's overall performances having done likewise.
The full back(winger) Richard Owen saw plenty of ball last night which helped him stand out but he's not a centre..... yet.'"
Shenton is no better than what we currently have, i would be very disappointed if he was to become a Leeds player.
Atkins is supperior IMHO. |

Got to agree with you RR, shenton is well over rated and
would'nt be good for the loiners. He would deffinatly be a weak link in your super star'ed squad.
If i was you i'd go for atkins every time.

plus he banged that wannabe chantel bint from big brother.
We could have tried to snap Atkins up before wakey but he needed time to develop and was too raw/inexperienced. He's got the experience but he still needs development. He could do an Ellis and bloom but given a straight out choice I'd take Shenton everyday at this stages of their careers.

Not that I hanker for us to sign either, just an observation.
Oh and thanks for clarifying that Owen's not a centre. I didn't think he was mind but its' most helpful.... |

I suspect Leeds will sign a centre for next year now, and I'd hope it would be an English one.
Interesting question - for the remainder of this season, shoul Smith continue to be picked at right centre? Or given that he's leaving, should Watkins (for example) get more of a chance there?

Ive already mentioned this when the thread first stated up. Should the coaching staff be waisting valuble time working on smith as a centre when they could focus on watkins? Obviously if smith is to be involved(which I expect he will) the club will work hard to get the best out of him for the team. I don't think smith should rot in the reserves but I would like watkins to get more game time now smith has confirmed his future lies else where |
