Sorry to see him go but can't say he hasn't done his bit for the club and has been loyal in some very lean times, best of luck to him.

Good news about Arundel, already a real prospect.

ps: For some reason I don't bedgrudge players going to Saints rather than Wigan or Leeds, just seem not to have that aura about them as one of the 'big' clubs. I can only think of Wardy & Chris Smith going to Saints from Cas in recent years, any others?

Failed attempt by Michael Smith after we went down the first time.

Well remembered that man! Wasn't it Smith's thirsty problems but reported as him having to commute too far?

Like everyone else disappointed Shenny's going but he goes with our best wishes,he's been a loyal player and helped us when we were down,That said as one door closes another opens hope to see Young Joe get more game time and develop into an outstanding player for the Tigers.

Yep. Good Bye Thanks and Good Luck.... Now moving on swiftly.

Good luck to Shenny (no player has given more in the past 7 years) but my main concern now is Arundel and in particular the expectation being heaped upon him. We should all remember Shenny's early ups and downs and not subject Joe to the criticism Michael tended to suffer from certain quarters during 2005 when he didn't tear up NL1 defences on demand. Joe will be on a steeper learning curve in a much tougher environment and we must be patient.

Sorry to see Shenton go, he's been my favourite player for a good few seasons but I suppose we can't really begrudge him. Best of luck Michael.

Re: Arundel stays, Shenton leaves. : Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:56 am  

My six year old lad is gutted! Shenny is his favourite player, a real role model for him. I managed to calm him down by telling him Shenny will still play for England!

Can't begrudge him going - he's given very good service to Cas over the years and it's probably time for him to take a step up and look to play in a different environment and give himself a chance of glory.

I wish him all the best (apart from when he comes back to play against us, of course).

And we've got the good news about Arundel to ease the hurt. Give him a couple of years and he could develop into a very good player. The potential is there, he just needs the right development environment and time.

Thanks for some great memories shenny, good luck fella, hope you win some trophies.

Glad its saints, good chance he will win some silverware and a club i have some respect for, they will use his attacking talent better than anyone else i suspect.

Plus when he's won some trophies there will still plenty of time for a return as he's got another 10 years in him.
