For mine, Shenton is already a better player then Atkins, has proven that he can play on the right hand side as well as left, and is younger. If we were to go for one of them it'd be Shenton for me. Personally I wouldn't want Atkins, although I do see that at times he's a more than useful player.

I'd put Atkins in front of Shenton just but simply because he's played on the right I would rather Leeds try to sign Shenton and bring on Watkins slowly to cover for Senior.
As as already been mentioned either player would be an improvement to what we have already.

It is lovely to be right! All those who doubt my source - being a certain player lol!

Shenton if he comes then, as he should, no real Westerman like aliegence to Cas and dislike of us.

Dont know where you got that one, he's cas through and through, thought he was going to burst into tears after the last derby (though he always seems to look like he wants to cry does shenny).

I hope Shenton stays at Cas. I hope I'm not the only person that wants clubs like Cas to do well from bringing through their own players. From what I've seen Atkins wouldn't be a huge leap forward from what we already have (or may have).

I hope you are. Because these self righteous people coming out with this sort of poope on here is becoming increasingly boring.

Money that Cas would get for Shenton would far better help them out than Shenton staying. Players come and go, and it is up to clubs to match the aspirations of their players if they want to keep them. Not just to keep them to get a closer playing field. If they cant do it then that is their problem, they then need to look to their next best option.

Shenton plays both but prefers the right.

As rhinoms said, it wasn't really the game to judge Shenton on.

I have to say I agree though that Shenton has hit a plateau at this point in the season and is nowhere near his early season influence or form. I guess it coincides with Castleford's overall performances having done likewise.

The full back(winger) Richard Owen saw plenty of ball last night which helped him stand out but he's not a centre..... yet.

Shenton is no better than what we currently have, i would be very disappointed if he was to become a Leeds player.

Atkins is supperior IMHO.

Got to agree with you RR, shenton is well over rated and
would'nt be good for the loiners. He would deffinatly be a weak link in your super star'ed squad.


If i was you i'd go for atkins every time.

plus he banged that wannabe chantel bint from big brother.

We could have tried to snap Atkins up before wakey but he needed time to develop and was too raw/inexperienced. He's got the experience but he still needs development. He could do an Ellis and bloom but given a straight out choice I'd take Shenton everyday at this stages of their careers.
