Well considering we started this season with one recognised centre Shenton & Webster are improvements. However they won't be much use to us next season unless we strenghten the pack and the all round defence.

Not being pedantic/obtuse but I believe everyone of those players are better than Webster, so to say he's one of the best in SL is very far fetched IMO, which is the key factor. If you think otherwise it's a good job I'm not in charge of your recruitment, although I'm glad I don't have that to worry about too!
As I said, an improvement but not jaw dropping.

Shenton is clearly a good signing. Before his injury was best English centre. I think Cas will allow him to be good again. I'd have been happy if Wakefield had signed him.
Webster I know less about but he is no mug.

Corrected some of the above. You're right that Webster has had his injury problems and that's fair comment. But when he's fit, he's one of the most dangerous centres in Super League and takes some stopping.

92 apps 32 tries is a good return. I think you're letting your red, white and blue/anti-Cas glasses get in the way of being fair and balanced.

So Millward is to investigate poor form. He only needs to look in the mirror and he will find the answer!

Re: Millward to investigate poor form : Tue Aug 14, 2012 12:41 am  

Shenton is a good signing for cas, not kicked on like he should but still of good quality.

Webster, think he was good but has had his injury problems and is probably in the bottom half of centres in SL.

Both decent signings for a team looking to try and snatch the 8th spot or be thereabouts come end 2013.

The real issue I think will be the fitness and conditioning of your players, I can only comment on the derby game though but stamina lacking in half the team. Perhaps you cas fans may have a different more informed opinion on this though.

No you are correct Trojan, we have looked very fatigued and dis-interested all season basically apart from the first match of the season and the comebacks to win a game

Quiet a few of those are not centres and some of them I wouldn't even wish on Wakefield. Thanks for your (none valid) opinion....now jog on troll.

Id rather have webster and shenton at wakey than some of the other so called top centres on the list.

When fit they are both quality signings and would make good aditions to any team outside the top 4
