You big up Bridge and Atkins as though they're world beaters. Put them up against Inglis and Hodges, who they'll be facing at international level, and they look like primary school kids.

Shenton will be a good signing if true, he has pace, good pair of hands and nothing goes thru him.

Not that I want to join this childish tete-a-tete, but if you know anything about RL you'll know that comparing the stats of a centre from a top 2 club with those of a centre from a struggling bottom 3rd club is basically meaningless.

Thank christ someone posted that.

My fire alarm chili might

It is potential we are going for & I'm fairly pleased (once confirmed) a current GB international, still pretty young and will be hungry for honours.

If he can develop like Gleeson did after stepping up (less the gambling) we have a talented prospect joining us

Re: Michael Shenton : Fri Jul 23, 2010 5:24 pm  

last season atkins was no were near as good as he is this year but with some good "coaching" from mr smith he as become one of englands better centres which i am sure will happen to shenton with our new coach. shenton is also younger than both bridge and atkins.

Nah. I'm just bigging up Bridge because I watch him every week and I know how good he is and his potential. It's not often I "big up" a player but Bridge really does excite me.

Massive blunder there wasn't it!

Still can't believe Gleeson isn't in the squad though, he's been fantastic all season. Him and Bridge should be our centres imo.

As for Shenton, cracking signing for saints. He'll be your centre for the next 10 yrs, he's stood out in a poor side, just hope you've not had to put too much money on the table to get him.
