None of the "big clubs" will touch him. I can see him staying at Cas.

Agree Pete and I hope it stays that way. Whilst he's undoubtedly had a half decent season the Sneyd we saw today was the real Sneyd - Joe Average with very little in terms of organisation or leading a team around the grass. He took his try well but the difference between him and Walsh was massive.

I'd be careful about slaughtering a player based on one game. Sean Long had many a day where nothing he did came off and he looked a prize fool, particularly early in his career. Note I'm not saying he's the next Long, I've not seen much of him, although what I have seen was pretty impressive. Wigan is the rumoured destination for Sneyd at the moment, I just think there is something going on. He's at Salford, on a decent amount and out on loan at Cas. He is playing well, the team is winning, so there is no reason to be handing in a transfer request. So it gets me thinking a club, presumably bigger or more appealing than Cas or Salford has contacted him?

Maybe he thought he deserved a contract upgrade for sticking with them through the tough times, coupled with his recent good form, only to be he'll only be getting one with an extension at the end of next year (as opposed to the start). As a result he will shop himself about to get himself the best deal? Same happened with broughton I believe

Cant see Wigan being in for him, i thought their amazing youngsters were going to be England regular halfbacks ?

I 100% wouldn't pay a fee

Re: Mark Sneyd : Mon Jun 23, 2014 7:43 am  

You can't judge Sneyd from that match yesterday? He started at Halfback then went to the wing then fullback where he had more joy and scored a try?

I'd have him at Saints, with him in our side yesterday we would have scored more points

Whenever i agree with a post of yours i wonder if i'm getting more mad or have you had a moment of clarity? quite a philisophical dilema!

I think there's a few reasonable assumptions in there to be fair. I've watched him quite a bit this year and, I may be wrong, but I honestly don't see it and suspect he's got far greater press because of the general (deserved) positivity around Cas this season.

I just don't see him as any better than Lance as an option, apart from his kicking.

As a slight aside, and apols for this not being on the Rumours thread, but I heard yesterday from someone who's usually pretty well informed that Lance is off to Salford next year. I'll believe when I see but share and share alike and all that....

Re: Mark Sneyd : Mon Jun 23, 2014 11:21 am  

Lance to Salford. So is that 6 or 8 halves and fullbacks they will have now????

Lance is a world cup winner and a hooker. Presumably he'd play 9 for them? Slightly better than Howarth I'd say.
