Mark Sneyd : Thu Jun 19, 2014 8:30 am  

Has asked for a transfer. Could he be the answer to our long standing no.6 problems?

Re: Mark Sneyd : Thu Jun 19, 2014 8:35 am  

I hope we are in with a shout.

He would be a good replacement for Walsh for 2015 or 2016 (depending on what rumour you believe). He has a good kicking game, including goal kicking, creates lots of tries and knows how to beat a man.

Koukash has tweeted that Sneyd wants to leave but doesn't want to sign for Cas.

Surely we are in the running?!

Send me jordan turner and lms in return? Can't imagine koukash is interested in a fee!

As I wrote on another thread, I'd happily carry LMS to whichever club would have him.

Re: Mark Sneyd : Thu Jun 19, 2014 9:11 am  

If Saints have any ambition to win trophys again Sneyd should be bid for

Put him with Walsh next season and our attack improves 10 fold?

Put Lance to hooker to cover for Robes

Then we need a Centre and 2 props?

Re: Mark Sneyd : Thu Jun 19, 2014 9:21 am  

So who would we be competing against?

Wigan have Smith and Green for this season backed up by Powell, Williams and Hampshire. So probably not.

Huddersfield have a fairly settled set up with Brough, Robinson and Wood.
They still don't strike me as a particulary attractive club to sign for.

Warrington, although chopping and changing have Ratchford and Myler, backed up by Bridge.

Leeds may be the real threat, Sinfield and McGuire are getting old and many seem unconvinced by Sutcliffe's long term half back potential.

Widnes are allegedly letting Mellor leave as they have craven and Gilmore coming through.

Hull FC aren't afraid of paying a transfer fee and always seem to need a halfback.

So Saints, Leeds or Hull FC for me.

I agree. I actually think that, if we're not going to trust Charnock, we should try and pick up Snyed AND Mellor.
Someone's always injured (for instance Snyed has played #1 and could cover for Lomax currently) and when Walsh leaves we'll have two mature(ish) halves to take over.

Salford have rejected the request...

Going off koukash's twitter rant last night, it was the insinuation he would be released from his contract no questions asked. I'm sure even koukash realises having a player who doesn't want to be there is no good, it's just what he can get for him in return.

I genuinely don't believe koukash will take a fee, so it's player swap all the way. I know they were looking at anthony walker earlier in the season when Harris first came in (I assume they worked together for Wales) so that could be the first advantage we have..l

I'd let them have one of Walker,Greenwood,Thompson,Richards or Mose
