Snitch is something of unknown quantity to me at the moment as I've never really taken much notice of him so we'll see how he pans out. Jones is an unsung hero with an astonishing work rate, which unfortunately goes unnoticed by many.

I started watching snitch after the wakey fans were raving about him last year, and they were right he was a very good forward, he knows where the try line is and makes good yards.

Jones i rate very highly, his work rate is amazing.

I rate them both highly, but for me they are differant types of player.

If only Dale Fritz was 15 years younger. He's an animal.

Jones is a defensive player, a real tackling machine. Snithch is more of an attacking player if you can get him through gaps in the middle of the field he will set up scoring opportunities. problem is Snitch has a tendency to make mistakes usually drops the ball a couple of times again. jones rarely makes a mistake .

Both were good players for us but i felt that Jones was a more steady and reliable player.

Pretty much my opinion.

You have got a gem in Jacko aswell ,a much underated player always makes the hard yards and never misses a tackle

think you're basing that on his performances for you. he was excellent last year and as far as i remember hardly missed a game. worked and worked made breaks and had good ball retention. easily one of our best players last year

He's that good that you pulled out all the stops to retain him!

In general, a game where one pack dominates another, usually lay the platform for their team to win the game.

Is our pack big and strong enough to dominate the oppositions ?

1st Choice Pack
----------------
8 Mitch Sargent
9 Ryan Hudson
10 Craig Huby
11 Brett Ferres
12 Steve Snitch
13 Joe Westerman

2nd Choice Pack
----------------
Paul Jackson
Kirk Netherton
Liam Higgins
Stuart Jones
Dean Widders
Ryan Clayton

We have effectively two packs and as the season progresses, it should be a matter of the form players getting the jerseys.

this is how Leeds are looking for 2010.

1st choice pack

Kylie
buderus
peacock
jjb
ablett
sinfield

2nd choice

burgess
diskin
Bailey
Ali
kirke
Eastwood

3rd choice

amor
mchane
ambler
pitts
manning
worrell

that's the bench mark, our second pack has 16 sl gf winners rings, a Harry Sunderland winner, a nrl gf/world cup winner.

it's hard not to look like bragging but that's what you are up against! your first pack looks solid and I think Jackson will go well. SL is strong this season. a few injuries and I think you might struggle to be honest.

we did actually clever cloggs. we tried to keep him. ask any knowledgeable cas poster on here and they will agree. what we didn't do was pay what we couldn't afford or what we felt he wasn't worth. as we have done with numerous others; fox and wilkes to name but two. both left after being offered contracts elsewhere we couldn't/wouldn't match. fox especially at the chagrin of many wakey fans who couldn't see the bigger picture. i'm sure you realise that wage spirals at a club like wakefield need to be avoided?
