Yes.

It isn't an injury really if he has put off getting it done until now for two years. If he'd done it at the start of the season then played on then fair enough.

I HAVE TO ASK....who cares what you think? please do take this the wrong way, spit your dummy out and never darken our towels again!

After we had signed him I re-read an interview that JJB did with him in RL World a few months back. Reading between the lines he is more in the mould of senior than Gleeson. I think he compared Shenton to Gleeson.
He played at Stanningley where Peacock, JJB, Carvell played their junior rugby.
There were some stats on here that suggested that he didnt pass. His offloads stats were quite high which makes me think he is more likely to pass through the line rather than before it.

I didnt see all the game on Sat but I did see a brain explosion when he kicked to the in goal on the second tackle.

I will trust Smiths judgement on this one.

Great comment - well said

Why the hell is he having an operation if he has no injury?

Give him a bell quick and let him know he doesn;t need the op, he isn;t injured at all.

Stupid little boy. I would have thought you'd learnt your lesson when you was on here sprouting rubbish making allegations about Reardon's non-injury. Now you're doing it again with Atkins.

In case you have forgot this is your pmI heard what i posted from other people and decide to post so.

Ususally i don't post rumours that i hear for this reason, i'm genuniely regretful of posting that. In hindseight i shouldn't have posted it even if it turned out to be true. I cannot explain any more than that.

Honestly i regret posting it and truthfully i don't like spreading un-truths about people.

In future i will not post rumours about anything that i cannot substantiate full.

Honestly Sorry.

St_Conroy'"

because last off season it wasn't as bad and he felt it would not impact on his game as much, but itr may have got worse , posibly, who knows, ask him yourself dingus!

No, you said it wasn't really an injury, that was your point.

Not at all.

It isn't an injury in the sense that it doesn't prevent him for playing, and hasn't for two years. Similar to Paul Wellens for us. It was said near the beginning of the year that he needed a knee operation, it hasn't inhibited him from playing, so i wouldn't consider him injured.

I just thought the operation was strange timing wise, to not have it in the immediate off-season after the injury occurred but when he has a chance to impress his future club manager further and was almost guaranteed to be a starting centre for England in the four nations. I'm not suggesting any dodgy goings on, just making an observation.

Like when Cunningham conviently needed surgery during an Ashes Test, yeah?

I get what you mean.

If he left it another year, he'd have to miss.....the Four Nations! St Conroy talking out of his rear again
