Brent Sherwin

Hi everyone,

I've heard rumours that Sherwin could be on his way to the Castleford Tigers next season if we make Super League (Just need to win the Grand Final on the 7th October) and I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this?

He's got a contract with us still. As much as I'd wish he'd leave, I doubt he will.

And it's BRENT.

how whould i rate him let me see 3 years ago he was as good as johns but now he is either hot or not. when he plays well the dogs win when he plays crap we loose. maybe a move of coach and country might be good for brent as he has had a few personal problems over the past couple of years. but he has the ability to be a great player, if he could recapture the form he had in 04 he would be a great buy

Maybe a change of scenery would be good for him. He is a confidence player and seems to have lost his way a bit. On his day he is awesome with one of the best kicking games you'll ever see. Sadly, he has not had that for some time.

Sherwin= never was.

I know you didnt say this, as im quoting your statement, buit To even suggest to Rate him compared to Joey at anytime of his career, is one of the dumbest things ive have ever heard.

Sherwin only looked good, with a decent five eighth in Anasta was at the club.

Sherwin has a very good kicking game, but he goes missing in the attacking 20, and he doesnt attack the line himself, he relies too much on SBW and Mason to attack the line, and many teams have got the feel of the dogs game plan.

ever since Anasta left the dogs, Sherwin has been rubbish, he has been on the outer for years imo, and they are just waiting for a decent half to come through the ranks, before they ship him off.

Sherwin's problem is he gives up too easily. That is not the dogs culture.

Sherwin had the best kicking game in the league once upon a time - bar none. This is with or without Anasta. Sherwin is the reason we were so great 02-04. Anasta played his part. But sherwin was a top line player pushing for rep selection.

So youse reckon Anasta was good?

tbh, it's a bit of an anomaly that the Dogs won in '04, as they're the only team in recent memory to win without a genuine star at 6 or 7

I was under the impression that no-one ever really rated Anasta at 6....

Anasta was good 02, 03, and not bad in 04.

Sherwin was good for all of the above years. He was always close to rep selection.

Sherwin is a very talented half, and does not deserve this crap.

I was very happy with his form this yr, especially after starting in Premier League and working his way back to some great form at times.

Obviously, he had a few shockers...but who doesn't. Look at Thurston 8wks back..he was really struggling. " WILL YOU BE KNOCKING HIM WHEN HE TAKES US TO THE GF IN 08 "

umm, i think he was referring to Sherwin, just used Thurston as an example. Idiot

Will Sherwin take us there though ;)

In all seriousness, I like Sherwin, I did rate him, but I think he's passed his best. I will be very surprised if he plays every game next year.

hopefully he does play every game as the only time in recent years when the dogs have played well over a sustained period of time is when Sherwin has been on song. Don't want to see Roberts running the show and Holdsworth has to be brought back next year.
