Might get slaughtered for this but not as well as last year unfortunately. He has picked it up a bit since he came back from injury but Shenton is the best out of the young lot here at the minute imo.

Got to agree tbh.
In saying that though i think TM as played him all wrong this season.
He's just hitting the short ball all the time, he as no space to work in.
Still a great tackling machine though.

Yes well done Shenton and also well done Myler, Hall and Tomkins all young players making the cut which is good to see, lets hope they all get a game although I doubt Tomkins will.

What happened to Ainscough mate ? Looked a quality winger one of the best in SL when i have seen him ? Pretty sure he is English too ?

Have to agree. Joe has not been at his best this year but, IMO, will definatly be the No.1 choice for England/GB in the near future.

3/4 of his skill set absolutely wasted by TM. Keep this up and he'll look elsewhere in a year or 2 IMO

Westy's tackle count is through the roof this year. He's not being played as creatively as last season and more teams are aware of the threat he poses - so they man up on him.

Not worried on him missing out this time, he'll be there in coming internationals.

Well done Shenny! Thoroughly deserved call-up.

This the TM that has took us to the top 8 ?

Like i said some of you are deluded and think we should be a top 4 team. We only got back up in 2007 ! 1 and a bit years and we are in the playoffs.

Not bad in my opinion.
