no no ive not come on here to slag him off, but im watching the png v aus game, and ray french just said that shenton has torn his ankle ligaments and may miss the rest of the tournament!

just thought id share that!

He's on crutches at the moment, and was supposedly having a scan earlier today.

Another one to chlak up to sick bay.

Maybe it is time we got Leonard McCoy on board.

As long as he's back for the start of super league I don't really care.

I heard it differently. I heard that he had sustained an ankle injury in the first half of the game against the Kiwis but had recovered from it enough to play in the second half. Ray French described it as an 'ankle knock', and he made the comment when Shenton made the break for the second try.

Just looked at the Sky website. Bugger.

Very disappointing - he was one of our few bright sparks yesterday.

maybe that was my hearing then, but im sure its what he said! anyway, it could be due to the fact id been awake since watching our game yesterday morning and wasnt thinking straight lol!

Doesn;t look good

Well, the BBC crew referred to an ankle knock that he'd recovered from but since typing the first bit of my last post I read the Sky website and found that it was a sprained ankle rather than an ankle knock. And we know what they can be like from our experience with Kyle babes.

So much about this England side remind me of Saints ala 2010, actually. Poor defence, dropping the ball, giving away penalties, no halfbacks, poor kicking game, a handful of players performing well, and one of them subsequently out injured with an ankle sprain ...

Let's hope we can make a final then : )

we need to get him back and treated asap. dont want him missing the season start

If its torn ankle ligaments, you are looking at 2 months before you can even walk again, let alone train

More like 6-8 weeks maybe 3 months prior to being able to start training again.

Thought he was poor first half but upped his game second half.

Despite someone who has posted on this thread blaming Goulding for the first try, for actually making a tackle, he was ball watching on the TL pass on the next play and got caught out as we had the numbers. Not the last time he struggled in defence in the first half.

Better than Atkins though by a country mile.

Not alot he could do about the try. They had an overlap on that side and Shenton was effectively marking 3 men.

Thats what I thought at the time but looking back the inside defenders had moved across and it was a 3 on 3.
