Didn't think he was signed as a replacement for Briscoe.

But he'll be played as one next season

I guess he will have to be because with Briscoe going we will only have two specialist wingers.

I only count 1...

give the kid a chance

I would play Shannon on the wing ,he played there a lot in Oz.

Ill clap him on and off the field while he wears the shirt but heirs not good enough and we need rid. He's had a full year, not impressed once, brought more unwanted bad press and to top it off has had 2 consecutive performances were he looked like he'd never played the sport before!!



Awful awful signing and, along with Ben Galea, will go down as Gentles major clangers!!

another poor signing by Gentle: players like Crookes, Arundle, Johnson, Galea have brought nothing to the table this year, and are no better than the supposed 'fill-in' players like Aspinwall, McGoldrick, Martin we had last year.

Personally I still think the kid should be given a chance. He started well and got injured. Briscoe started having a rubbish season and he could have replaced him for a bit then but didn't. If he knew he was replacing Briscoe I think he should have played him more as I don't think Briscoe has been good at all this season. He was dropped in it playing at Wembley as well which isn't his fault and that's a big think to expect of anyone. I still think he needs more time to blend in with the team.

None of these players are in the 17 when everyone is fit. You can't expect top rate signings (should they exist) to simply cover for the 1st team.



The youth system is for developing potential stars for the future, but you still need reliable squad players who won't look out of place when picked.

Crookes and Arundel have hardly played due to a combination of injury and the breakthrough of Crooks and Lineham.



Arundel actually was actually looking pretty good up until his injury. Think he could be a good signing.



Crookes needs more game time before being judged. Looked completely gash in the game where he replaced Briscoe but has looked a lot better since coming in for Lineham.
