Shackleton waiting for call up.

[mozgrame]

Shane Shackleton doesn’t have a club for 2013 – but the former City forward says any NRL club wanting to give him a go only needs to call.

The Sunday Telegraph caught up with the 30-year-old as he went through a gruelling workout alongside other NRL stars including Willie Mason and Penrith’s James Segeyaro.

But while Mason and Segeyaro will be back training with the Knights and Panthers, respectively, in the coming weeks, Shackleton will be forced to continue his pre-season under the guidance of sprint coach Roger Fabri.

Fabri added: “I worked with Shack when I was at the Roosters at the back end of ’09 and then a little bit with him while he was at Parramatta.

“When Shack was training with me, he made the City side (in 2009 and 2011) and we are trying to recapture that form he showed then.

“He is very committed.”

Anyone who doesn't sign him up is a dumb.

[MadMarcus]

He is the poster child for what happens if you sign with Parra...

If Penrith didn't want to re-sign him then it's not a great endorsement for his ability.

If we can find space in the salary cap, sign him.

 

[master blaster]

fair call

True they offloaded that Lewis hack and are apparently trying to palm off Jennings. Then there is Wade Graham and Michael Gordon who they did not re-sign

Agree, he's about as funny as a busted colon.

Speaking of comedy acts - on the club's site there is a clip of Don Singe addressing schoolkids in Samoa (?) about the importance of reputation and the pitfalls of social media. Pity the sound quality is terrible, but this guy is a natural. Who would have thought it?
