Fantastic signing. To beat leeds, warrington and wigan to his signature, shows we are still the team to play for.

What is your evidence that these clubs were in for him?

Beat Warrington to his signature? Why would Warrington want to sign him?

We were never in the runnig for him - I can confirm that. We have three of the best centres in the league.

I see Saints have signed a young English international. interesting. Shows you can indeed sign young English players.

Wigan are paying their antipodean army more than Shenton's getting too. Saints however don't see the point of destroying English RL by signing only NRL players. Doing it for the good of the sport, which is frankly good to see.

I wouldnt go that far.
shentons better than atkins and imo at his age would offer long term more than King. But no, we weren't in the running.
Besides, Bridge is the best of the lot.

How many overseas players did you sign last year, becasue we signed none. How many English youngsters have we brought through again this year? 3 overseas coming in, 1 overseas already confirmed to be leaving and highly likely another 3 could be on their way out. So whats your point or is this just another dig at Wigan?

Nice try but do some research before talking. By the way what nationality is Josh Perry???

Disagree completely. Have you watched Warrington atall this season? Atkins over Shenton anyday he's in the top three for try assists, isn't that a centres main job.

Not one of those other teams has ever confirmed interest in signing him. Just rumours, and we all know how accurate those are.

And when Shenton plays for a decent side, that comparison might be useful.

Fancy a centre in a second placed side setting up more tries than a centre in an 8th placed side. Mental.
