Look at Shenton record of playing against Senior scored loads trys against him and believe it or not but Inglish known in ARL for not been the best tackler and micky has an even advantage over Inglis he faster than him and Inglis will not be used to that.

But they will be on opposite sides, Smith will be up against Inglis, Shenton up against Hodges, going by what i saw in the 2 matches, if of course they get selected.

smith has played shenton on both the left and the right(whichever way most of the play isnt going it seems) so we cant know who will be up against who.

Very true, he did switch Shenton in the Welsh game when Bridge came on, but Smith always plays on the right for Leeds. Going by other peoples comments on the forums they dont want Shenton in, Ellis, Bridge or Eastmond to play there instead but all seem confident in Lee Smith.

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

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!!!
