I actually think Warrington was the largest offer he recieved, But he feels his best chance of continued Success is St Helens, I would expect you to announce it more or less straight away now its been officially confirmed on our website he is leaving'"
Are you sure he's out of contract as we can't afford another cock up like the Ricky Bibey scandle? |

That would be a little crazy, considering they already have King, Bridge & Atkins!? |

Really? I thought the pieland view was that all Saints players are plodders who only look good because they are surrounded by quality players. |

You've got a cracking player in Shenton and I hope to see him get even better at your club. Sad he's going though.

Wigan wouldn't match his (or his agents) asking price. I presume Saints did.

I have my doubts about how good he really is.
Hope he isn't on too much if he joins us.

Wigan decided to spend their pocket money on Finch,Lima and Hoffman.Saints spent theirs on Perry,leaving some left over for Shenton,maybe LMS and maybe one more.
Its more likely you had no money left,not that you wouldnt match the asking price. |

Great news if we get him, a real quality centre with top defence and genuine pace.
He'd be a brilliant signing for us.

No, nobody but Saints would match his asking price; Cas, Wigan & Warrington told him to stick it with his ludicrous demands.

So one fan says Wire offered more, one says Wire told him to stick it. 
Saints have been signing top players under the salary cap for years. He'll be getting paid his market rate. |

| Quote: FearTheVee "So one fan says Wire offered more, one says Wire told him to stick it. I agree though, isn't it funny how people know exactly what happened in private meetings with players, clubs, agents... its a shame most of the stories from those in the know differ so much!!!
At the end of the day only a select few will know what Shenton has signed for, we might have offered most, we might not have, it isn't always about the most cash there is career progression and development, finals, medals, new team mates, how well the club treats you all sorts will go into a decision like that - unless you were stuart fielden and were offered the earth would money be the only choice

Meh he's ok. He ain't at Gidley's level and whether he ever will be remains to be seen.
Who ever plays outside him won't see much ball that's for certain, so if it's Lomax he better get ready for some pretty barren years ahead.
I'll now await for ChieftScout to throw a hissy fit about Wigan fans always playing down Saints signings.
Being nice I actually think he'll do a decent job for you. He's got pace a bit of footwork and the main thing he's got age on his side, so any little weaknesses in game he'll have time to iron out.
