I anticipate a split reception. The d*ckhead element will boo him, the majority will cheer him and hopefully sing him a few songs.

“Don’t go and sign for Cas, cos’ when we win the league it’s gonna be f*cking class“

....ok I’ll leave the songs to someone else.

So that's 7 fans cheering for him and 4 fans booing, can't imagine it will unsettle him too much, if he whistles a little ditty to himself it will probably drown out the noise from the home support anyway

I'm not sure Sneyd is the organiser at Cas. I think that's more Liam Finn's role. If only there were some Cas fans on here who could tell us who's right. For me, Salford's dilemma is not Dobson or Sneyd, but Chase or Sneyd.

You're right about us needing a hooker though. Hopefully, we'll get Gareth Owen back from his season long loan, but we still need another one. Logan has been great for us, and I'd have been happy to see him stay (over Clark, to be honest), but it looks like that won't happen.

We also need a couple of props and a centre. This might be where Marc Sneyd's value lies: clubs could start offering props and hookers in swap deals.

You'd rather have Logan Tomkins over Daryl Clark!?

Personally I'm gutted having seen him progress through the academy to getting his first proper run of 1st team games last season .
It's strange considering when he went on loan to Cas he was probably 4th choice of the signings they made to cover the half backs , yet he backed himself to claim a starting spot, as one of 4 ' top quality' half backs he could acheive the same with Salford next season ..

However. if he doesn't want to wear the scarlet I would not want him back contracted or not. lets find someone who ' wants to play for Salford ' ?

I wouldn't expect Signature sports management to be a welcome guest at the AJB any time soon ..

Think you've gone rogue there John. One's a mediocre stop gap who has been ok for us and the other is a future international and probably the most promising youngster in the game at present.

I dont think that either Sneyd or Finn are complete organisers as such but they both play in a system and have been doing it very well. I am not sure how Sneyd will go when he is removed from that system either and I certainly could see problems with him playing alongside Chase. Sneyd is not anywhere near the finished article either still makes too many errors and needs to improve his tackling. He has benefitted this season because Cas have in the main being playing on the front foot behind a good pack.
I can see why the signing of Dobson would have got to Sneyd and he has to do whats best for him.
I dont quite understand the why the Dr says players/agents should not dictate to clubs when he was quite happy when Chase and his agent did much the same to Cas just last year and I am sure in that case that the agent would have been in early and regular contact with Salford (and probably other clubs as well) throughout the deal. I dont see a difference at all.

The difference is we didnt go to Cas and ask them to release Chase from his contract and let him join us for free.We respected the rules and approached Cas first and then made a substansial monetary offer to Cas for his services.

Sneyds agent has been Hawking him around several SL clubs looking for a deal while his client still has 18 months on his existing contract.Surely he should have asked Salford first if his client had any chance of getting a release and certainly wasnt going to get released for free like his agent seemed to think was the right thing for Salford to do.

I see the Cas fans who were experts on visa issues last year are now experts in how an RFL tribunal works.

Nothing compared to the backwards Salford fans who were predicting out demise, how many "I can't wait until next year when they go down" comments were we subjected to from the RL oracles from the booty of Manchester

Whenever your little club manages to not involve itself in a relegation battle maybe it will be able to persuade it's young talent to stay
