It's because he's a Cas player. If he was playing for Leeds or Saints, everyone would want him in.

Can't say Shenny's put a foot wrong in any of his games for England. He's hardly stood out, but nobody has

Was a bit fed up of the number of people behind me slagging off shenton last Friday. what did he do wrong that the others didnt?

I thought he had a decent game too, but can't say I heard anyone slagging him off where I was sat, although many of those around were Cas supporters, maybe those who watched on TV could give their opinions and let us know what the pundits had to say about him. Have to say that Tony Smith must have thought he did ok to select him again.

He did nothing wrong buddy, i'l tell you why they will have been slating him, because he doesn't play for Leeds Rhinos, Saint Helens or any other "popular" club.



And to you who was slating the guy, give him a break. He deserves that spot and even if he's far from greatness yet, you need the experience to get there. Cheer on your country for gods sake!!!

On the vt people seem to constantley slagg off his defence even though he made more tackles than any back in the last two games and has missed two tackles out of 40 odd in those games. Someone else said he offered nothing attack even though he scored more tries than any other centre, i guess that means no centre in sl offers anything in attack then!



Compare that to lee smith whose defence has been worse, has given away penalties and whose only contribution has been to score a walk in try where the only defender opposing slipped onto hi a*se before he got to him. For someone reason though everbody seems to think he's a much better choice for centre.

Well said that man. Just hope shenny gets some ball though this weekend.

Im abit fed up too of folk slagging of Shenny. He made 21 tackles on Friday, more than the aussie or kiwi centres on saturday.



He will be up against Hodges, who is a great ball handler but isnt as bigger

threat than Inglis.



I think Shenny will do ok, he can raise his game against

better opposition....good luck Michael!

I'm sick of hearing the bloody idiots having a go at Englands best centre.



Come on Shenny, shut that bunch of tools up with a match winning show

Did not got much ball or room to move today BUT he did what he could, at least he looked interested in the first 40. Given time it may well turn around for him.
