| Shame to see Thornley go particularly when many under 20's watchers on here rated him. But glad to see we've managed to keep Marsh.

| IMO this situation is a perfect example of why we should have been in for Shenton.
You can never predict or bank on your reserves. It's great if they come through but when quality proven SL standard players are available you go for them.

Going off what IL has said we did make moves for Shenton but he was offered money from Saints that we refused to match. Same problem with LMS too

I'm not sure it's much of a problem given what we've managed to acquire instead. Besides, of our three young three-quarters, we've kept the better two in Marsh and Charnley.

Maybe not but Gleeson and Carmont are both the wrong side of 30 and won't be around forever

Excellent short sightedness there.
Senior wasn't as good as the centres we had when he left Sheffield but he turned out ok didn't he
You've gotta look at long term gain and swapping Shenton for Carmont is smart in the long run.

| Why is it short sightedness? Senior was the top scorer for Sheffield and had won a trophy with them. He was also younger than Shenton is.
I dont think Shenton is that good and posted on the Saints site that I dont think he is Saints quality.

Shenton has bags of potential, he's young, British and has proven he can play against the GI's of this world and not be made a fool of. That ticks all the right boxes for me.
He has slightly gone off form but then again Cas is a club in turmoil. I'd love to see him at a stable club with a great coach like Madge he'd really kick on.
The quota is reducing next season and with Hoffman potentially staying another year we will have to look to either our academy (can't be counted on e.g Thornley) or an English centre from another club.
Who do you suggest we sign?

For the centres? No-one, Marsh and Charnley.

I know you really like Shenton, and I think he's a good player, but if IL looked at the price tag and said no thank you, then I don't see how it's wrong.

I do appreciate and trust his judgement but I'm just trying to think who we will replace Carmont with that's all.
I'd love Marsh, Charnley or even Pryce to get the gig but the whole Thornley incident proves you can't always bank on them.
Either way if Shenton did turn us down I bet he regrets it after today.

| Why do we need to sign anyone? We have centres in the academy.
Just because hes British doesnt mean hes good enough. I thought we had a spare spot this year already so when it reduces we will be ok. Also we can have a south sea islander signing if Carmont goes.
If Hoffman goes then I would go for either, Hodges, Morris, Idris or Matt Cooper as they are all available for 2012, if he stays then I would look at Charnley

| I hope Thornley turns out to be a load of rubbish in Union, can't stand these players who use and abuse this fine club.
