Sneyd as hooker? He fits so much better as a half. Plus his defence is weak, which isn't ideal for a hooker.

Iestyn, Longy and Marc seem to think differently, we'll just have to see how it goes! I'm not 100% convinced it will work either.

It doesn't come across as bitter, don't worry!

Marc, Long and Harris all sat down and came to the decision between themselves, I hope he excels at 9 because a spine of Chase, Dobson, Sneyd and Locke on paper is frightening(although we said the same about Smith). Both parties made it clear that Marc's long term future is at Salford, a contract extension will hopefully be announced after the current season or maybe before it ends.

It will endorse him further when he rejoins Salford as a challenge cup winner

Well that makes sense...

If you look when I posted it was shortly after kick-off.

Your point is what?

Marc will be our first choice hooker next season with Dobson and Rangi at 6/7.

If this happens it will be really disappointing, in SL teams struggle to develop halfbacks, then suddenly we have one who has great potential and just to fit him, so that two overseas players can play, he is moved to hooker.

Sneyd could be a top halfback for England and Salford for the next 10 years, if they give him the chance to play there.

If thats the plan for his sake and Englands, I hope he asks for a move.

It would only be disappointing from your perspective.

The modern game is the Utlility players game. Who is not to say that he could make that position his own?

At the moment, anything that concerns Salford seems to attract negativity from Cas fans who would rather be negative than just accept that what another Club does with THEIR OWN player really has nothing to do with them.

I am not a Cas fan, I am speaking as Rugby League fan.

I don't agree with you about the game being all about utility, I still think players, playing the right position helps massively, especially in a position that it really hard to recruit in, I think long term it will be more beneficial for Salford to have Sneyd playing at halfback. It would be better to have Chase there (a position he has played before in the NRL) for the long term for Sneyd and Salford.

I saw Hull do the exact same thing with Tommy Lee.

Apologies for lumping you in with the Cas fans. I didn't mean to insult you that way

Nearly every contributor that isn't a Salford fan on here is a Cas fan, regardless of subject, so forgive me for jumping the gun. I was generalising with regards to utility. Of course there is room for specialized players and utility, but utility is becoming increasingly important. You may be right that Marc's future will be better served at HB, but time's on his side and I'm sure that the HB role will be his if he continues to progress as he has done. Nothing is set in stone as they say. As for Chase, I agree that he would be a better choice to go to Hooker with his past record, however, if Chase can get consistent you just can't shift him away from the HB position.

It's a nice headache for us to have, for a change.
