Has it been officially announced that Shenton has been signed by us?

I really do think Shenny will thrive with you lot and become a better player then he is already.

Tiny bit sad he's going, but I'm confident we have another local lad who'll be just as good.

Errr.....no. Not allowed until Sept 1st I believe. So sshhhh, don't tell the RFL.

Not true, though, is it? If Cas give permission then it can be announced at any time. However, it's just that people on here are making statements as if he has already signed and so I was just wondering if I'd missed the announcement.

Where Saints are concerned, announcements are like buses. You don't see one for bloody ages and then a million come all at once!

Nothing official yet. But the tone of Castleford's statement suggests that he's going with their blessing, in which case I doubt we'll have to wait until September to find out one way or the other.

fantastic signing by the "S"

So you're saying sh.enton has no pace or eye for the try line? Have you ever actually watched him play?

He's a much better centre than atkins, who is a winger anyway

One thing you learn about Cas is they cant hold thier own water, Everyone knew Danny Orr was signing 3 months ago, The agents/ Players/ Officials etc cant keep their mouths shut and everything gets out, its only a small town

Everyone has know Shenton was joining you for ages too

As for figures, People who know him close, Say you beat our offer, And i know we offered 3 figures

Whhhooooo. 3 figures eh? Would have been one of very few Castleford residents to earn more than £99 a year eh?

So we've got him for £1,000 per year. Superb. Wait till I tell the goons.

Christ, no wonder he left!

*Edit - Saddened beat me to it.


A further addition to the notions above that people on message boards have an incredible insight into player finances - ie none at all.

Come on you know he means £100K+

I'd be happy to have him at Saints. Got to be better than Dean!
