Rangi had miles more ball then sneyd last night. I'm not gunna bag rangi because I don't have a short memory but you pretty much seem to be judging sneyd on his 2 games vrs Salford, which truth be told were 2 of his quieter games this season.
That's because he really wants to play for us.
To be fair, we're not just judging him on those two games. We've seen him play fairly regularly for the past few years, and while he's had some very good games, I don't think any of them have reached the standard Rangi has achieved for us at times this season. Like Rangi, he's also capable of being invisible. Marc's biggest strength is his kicking game, and we'll miss that (although I think Michael Dobson is a more than adequate replacement), but, as I say, although it's a shame to see a home grown player go, if I had to choose between Rangi and Marc, I'd go for Rangi.
Niall Evalds, though, is a different kettle of fish. He's the closest to a genuine potential international that we've produced in some time. Although he can fill in in a few positions, I think he's a full-back. His positioning last night was spot on, and he's been the best full-back at diffusing bombs and grubbers that we've had since the legendary Gary Broadbent, the benchmark by which defensive full-backs are judged. Add to that his absolutely blistering pace, and I think we've got a real find on our hands. It does worry me a little bit that he'll drift out of the picture when Kevin Locke arrives, but it's nice to have such worries for a change.
