    Also let's not forget, it's generally accepted we'd have probably won the 2011 grand final, had we not lost Shenton and Wellens through injury
    and we played him on the right instead of the left. He always played left centre for Cas.

    Shenton wasn’t bad when you consider he come into a side that was amid an overhaul after the golden generation and was between homes and given he was shoved on the opposite side of the field to his natural position. We would have another Grand Final win on the board too, I reckon, if he didn’t do his elbow against Leeds.

    As someone who’s grown up and only seen us during the Super League years, it’s quite a hard job, putting together a worst thirteen because we’ve been successful for the most part and thus, some players like Morgan end up in our sides.

    I thought Shenton did ok considering we never had a settled team. One week he had Makinson on his shoulder, Gardner the next. He didn’t get great service either because our half backs were constantly changing around that time too. Over 2011 and 2012 we had Gaskell, Lomax, Eastmond, Pryce and Hohaia in at 6 and 7.
