Quote: Dux "Not that I want to join this childish tete-a-tete, but if you know anything about RL you'll know that comparing the stats of a centre from a top 2 club with those of a centre from a struggling bottom 3rd club is basically meaningless.'" Fair enough Heres Shenton compared to an England centre palying Rugby for a team second from bottom. Again the stats don't favour Shenton and favour Clubb alot more. Does this mean Shentons England's fourth best centre. Link: www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2010

Warrington offered him more money but he chose saints.

Obvioulsy Tony Smith doesnt rate the centres he already has....

Where has this been comfirmed?

I very much doubt that is true considering we have three great centres already and a very hot prospect in Rhys Evans coming through the ranks.

Let me take you back to the Four Nations final, last November. England outplaying the Aussies up until the hour mark. Shenton comes off injured after a severe clash of heads, and Australia score 4 or 5 tries all down the side Shenton would have been. A narrow England lead becomes a comfortable Australian victory.

So if you are such a strong believer in the stats and how it categorically proves Bridge is better than Shenton, do you also believe Graham's show how much better a prop he's always been than Morley?

Hasn't bridge played alot of games in other positions, like scrum half?

You seem very determined to tell us how much better your players are than ours.

I think the comments prove what a quality 'young british' centre were getting. In a quality side and as he develops physically he'll undoubtedly improve.

With the pack he'll be playing behind next year let's see the stats in 12 months time!

It's a petty argument, but it's also a pointless one as senior and gleeson are still better than the lot of them.
