Shenton's a great player in the right team, but his strength comes from him getting ball while coming from deep. Unfortunately, our lack of available halves, inconsistent starting line ups and (once rush took over) narrow game plan didn't suit him. He did improve mightily once he'd agreed a return to Cas, though, which shows there were some physiological issues.



I remember him scoring at home (widnes) against Catalans, he hit a short ball from Leon pace at full tilt, absolutely class finish.

Shenton seems to have switched sides. Played down our right, has been on the left for Cas this season. Could that be the reason his form's picked up?

He was switched to the left as given the ball early, he is able to create space, and thats what we wanted for Carney



For me he has been for years and still is, the best defensive centre in the league

Leeds - Featherstone, it's all the same place really....



























Stands well back

I wouldnt get too hung up on all this playing him on the right stuff, we signed him as a right centre and in his first stint at Cas he predominantly played there.



I'd say the other stuff mentioned about a lack of halfbacks and our limited game plan for a while effected him far more

I was surprised how poor he went defensively to be honest.

That's nearly as dangerous as saying Leigh's in Wigan

The only difference between Leigh and Wigan is pie crust, one with and one without.

I always thought the difference between Leigh and Wigan was Platt Bridge.

Word is he'll be in black and white next season.
