I'm another one in the Shenton is over-rated camp. I just dont see it.

As I understand it we talked to Shentons agent for week, but in the scheme of things he wanted too much money, he's still not as good as he thinks he is, when it ended up an auction with Saints, Wigan, Bradford and a few others involved we bowed out!

Count me in too.

And me.

I rate him, no doubts there....BUT only at the right price.



The only player who is worthy of a BIG deal is Thurston

One more over here.

And me. In all fairness to Cas they aint a great side, some very good players but no world beaters and because of that I would have expected Shenton to really be an outstanding player in the current Cas side which I just dont see.

Dont get me wrong Shenton aint a bad player just dont think he is that good either.

Thank you Wilf, sometimes i feel like the lone ranger on here ( not a cowboy by the way ha ha)

He is a big fish in a small pond at cas thats all , he believes all he reads in the papers about himself i am afraid

I actually think he genuinely went to Saints to win things. He could have easily stayed at Cas and been their highest earner if it was all about the money for him.

trust me he is to become one of their bigger earners believe it or not!!
and thats a fact!!!

i think the fact he's now an england international was a factor in asking for more £££, met him a few years ago an was fairly down to earth lad but from sounds of things that looks to have changed.
