Micky Shenton : Sat Nov 07, 2009 8:03 pm  

Just finished watching ENG NZ game thought the whole team were oustanding in defence! But shenton really stood out for me, IMO i reckon he wasnt far off hitting the 30 tackle mark!

As a Cas lad im proud Shenny and also glad we have him

On 17 tackles?, is that all Shenton did?, sure he did more than that....must have been getting him mixed up with Tomkins through the beer goggles

Did'nt let anyone down again, think he will be ok for the final,not sure about Bridge on the other side,be tempted to play ellis there, reckon shenny will be up against jennings in the final

either way what an experience for him,can't wait for the final got my tickets already

the reason he only made 17 is because the stats only count the first 2 men into the tackle, if you watch the game again youl see shenton came in 3rd man to take the legs a few time last night, he did well, doesnt lok out of place in the international scene.

i just hopw he gets some more service next week.

I just want to say i though Tomkins and Eastmond were outstanding last night.

I agree. It seems that most of England attack seems to be shifted to the other wing, whereas the combination of Hall, Shenton, Ellis is more defensive.
It's working as well. The England left has been pretty resolute for the past two weeks.

Eastmond is going to be outstanding in a few years, let's hope he stays in our code.

And though it pains me to say it, Tomkins is also going to be fantastic.
