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.

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

| Similarly, if Webb gets injured again, should BJB be first call for his replacement? I would have thought that was an even more urgent question for the future.

Good question. NRL teams tend to move the next in line in and prepare for next season when the know a player is leaving or being cut.
However in our case. Watkins was given games at the start of the year and looked out of place. Ablett isn't a centre despite what the numpty boys think. Really dropping Smith from centre would be cutting off our nose to spite our face. He's been the most dangerous player at 3 all year scoring and provinding a threat that has less obvious knock on effects. Tt's no coincidence some of our better games have come with him at 3. Should Watkins hit the straps then giving him another whirl would be an option. If a big game or the GF were tomorrow Smith lines up at 3 100% time with this current squad imo.
Would you cut him??

| With the salary cap biting we're going to have to get used to players leaving, and agreeing to leave before the end of the season. Dropping one of your better players because he won't be there next season is a ridiculous thought. Would anyone here like to have seen Gareth Ellis play less of a role last season? This is Smith's hometown club, he's going to give it 100% and is our best right centre. Watkins is a natural left centre anyway, he's the replacement for Keith IMO.

Out of interest. Why would we have to get used to that?
Our CEO has always championed us for been under the cap. Took delight in telling us that we have space left incase a top player becomes available.
Therefore why should we accept the cap as an excuse for losing Smith?
It might be a case of having a structure in place that cant meet a players needs. But that can not be blamed on the cap surely? surely it is just how you want to manage it?
