Very good point on the tackles though, he's a machine.

Think it only fait to also give an honourable mention to Gardner, had a cracking game last weeek, really put himself about, and is maybe starting to benefit from his partnership with Shenton.

Gardner has been excellent for a few weeks now. Shenton is bound to be playing a part in that.

Shenton reminds me of Gleeson (when he first came to Saints) in some respects. He doesn't have Gleeson's footwork, but he's more direct and maybe possesses half a yard extra.

I suspect Lomax and Gaskell are both right handed halves, which would explain Shenton's lack of service as he's on the wrong side. It takes time for young playmakers to develop a solid wrong-side pass - but it'll come. The return of Pryce should help as he can shunt the ball to the right with some zip.

Shenton as always been a very good defender so dont know where that came from.
He is from pontefract so close enough to cas.

According to one wiganer "in the know", whos past exclusives include, "Eastmond had 100% signed for union in 2009", "Mcillroum was guaranteed to be the next gb hooker for years to come" and "wheeler had defo signed for wigan", Shentons first choice was wigan.

Everyone's first choice is Wigan, isn't it? Or perhaps it is Warrington ...

Can't think why Wigoon would want another centre when they have world class players in the shape of Gleeson and Pryce . Oh hang on.

It was better than that, he wanted to go to Wigan, but they weren't fool enough to match his outrageous wage demands, but saints would.
