Shenton
Dixon
Gaskell
???

A quota player?

I mean four players he wants to come in.

Don't blow your cover.

Rogues and Deano G. Dr Jeckell and Mr Hyde. Both insane!!!

Any idea where that leaves Gaskell?



Turner and ? (have I missed a signing? I thought the Manu deal had fallen through?)



Dixon, Meli, Wellens?

We've still got Manu as far as I have been told.



Two of them are definitely off from what I have been told, don't know about the third.

Turner, Manu, Finch and that prop we should have got last year????

But he isnt in demand and most clubs dont want him in their squads. The only clubs that have been linked with him are Castleford and possibly Hull KR, hardly the creme de la creme of Super League. You talk as if Leeds, Wigan, Warrington et al are all ling up to sign him, they are not. The fact that Saints want rid says it all about how in demand he is and how he is viewed by a top club.

Who said we want rid? Apparently - and nobody from either club has confirmed this - Shenton has been given permission to talk to other clubs. Assuming that is true, and not just gossip, that could be because he requested permission. He may be unhappy at Saints. Or it may be that being a Dad and trecking in on the M62 almost every day, on his tod, is too much and he prefers to be closer to home. Who knows?

Quite - fact is that we don't know definitively why he wants out, or whether he does actually want out or is being pushed, or what his contract demands are, or what everyone else's salary cap situation is etc. etc. It's all speculation, What isn't speculation is the fact that a pre-Saints form Shenton would be a guaranteed starter at virtually every team in the country (and certainly at Wigan). Maybe he'll never recover that form and maybe a lot of teams don't want to take a risk that he will. As you say, we don't know. But, let's let the clueless numpties make stuff up and fantasize away - it keeps them happy, bless their deluded little minds.

Who's laughing now as Carmont scores a try from over 80 metres out? George's class is there for all to see. Newlove better than Carmont? You've lost all touch with reality.

The same player who was a reliably plodder his whole career in the NRL goes past Michael Shenton and is therefore class, and world class before he did that. Logic bypass.

The logic bypass is that the comparison is with Newlove, who just wasn't special. I know you paid a lot of money (and shipped out players) to sign him, but he was a long way from being a world beater. Carmont has been one of our best overseas signings for many years and was sensational last season. Just watch him in the Exiles game or the WCC. Newlove backed out of playing at international level. I wonder why?

Sorry he went past Newlove did he?

WTF has the try tonight got to do with Newlove?

Are you on drugs again?

The try tonight shows that George is still a class player, though I tend to agree that embarrassing Shenton and Wellens isn't that great an achievement... mind you, that's not Carmont's fault, all he can do is beat what's in front of him....

As for the references to Newlove, please see earlier in the thread!

You mean one post earlier:
"The logic bypass is that the comparison is with Newlove, who just wasn't special".

Had you forgot that with your goldfish like logic?

You're demonstrably a clueless idiot who knows **** all about RL. Or mad. Or a Wigan fan. Or a combination of all 3. Troll off back to your own board and back to rolling in filth with your other inbred brethren before you lose what little comedy value your lunatic half-baked opinions still possess.

33 tries in 83 starts in the NRL. Not bad plodding.

You know what - I'm going to go onto the pie board and start a thread about how Hanley was a decent player, but that he never quite reached the heights that Wilkin has. Let's see how they like being exposed to a little bit of this preposterous and laughable lunacy that some of their more deluded and clueless spawn seem so keen to peddle on us....

remember peter shilton goal keeper for england his nick name was ty ey shilton...exclude shilton cos that what he is....ryan atkins 20000000000000000 million times far better...but then again he plays for saints

What in the love of god are you talking about?

Ok this has been derailed enough, nothing to do with Shenton. It's getting shut down. One off comments fine, but you have harped on long enough.
