Did I fall into a wormhole and end up back in time?????

No you fell in a hole and ended up in cas.

I know this is really really old news but that aside what does going back to Cas say about Shenton's ambitions? he's 25 and he's just signed back for a club with little chance of winning anything in the next few years on a long term contract. I assume he's going to be well paid but it just smacks of wanting to go back to being a big fish in a little pond

Maybe he wants to play for England again?

Thats why he's going back to Cas more chance of winning a trophy than saints

It depends on the circumstances. It may well be that Saints have said, "We don't want you, you're leaving". Shenton has then gone to the market and found only Cas willing to meet his wage demands. It's a club he knows in a location he's happy with. What is his alternative? Refusing to leave and creating a very awkward situation with Saints and then being released in 12 months time and finding no club willing to pay him what he wants to be paid.

Maybe it was Shenton who engineered the move, maybe he didn't like the travelling and being the only one on the 'Yorkshire bus'. That kind of 1.5 hour commute could easily make it hard to adapt at a club, given the other players will all be doing stuff together after training and you live almost 2 hours away.

Obviously, I mean Cas have a great track record of winning pots in the SL era

True, I guess we wont find out more until he has actually moved back to Cas and maybe does an interview.

Sometimes it isn't about the money and it isn't about the glory. He is a Cas lad and he has a young child over there. He may be a family man who enjoys his rugby but wants to be closer to his family. His decision may be nothing to do with money or glory at all.

I'd agree and I think is mainly lacklustre performances are not down to a lack of ability, but simply a move that just hasn't 'clicked'.

I think you'll see something like Shenton of old when he turns out for Cas.
