So you'd pick name over form then? I hope you're not involved in running a sports team in any way...

Good to see you addressing my points sensibly, as you seem to have done with other people throughout this thread.
He's put in some very good performances in a well drilled side for about half a season. He's also gone missing in a few games. I'd take who we've got next season over him any day and it's not even close.. Not that I wouldn't like us to have kept him.

Yeah because we all know how rigid the rules are when it comes to international RL representation.

Your post was treat with the disdain it deserved for the opening little dig.
I'd take Dobson over him, not Chase. You'd be far better off playing Dobson with Fages next year.

Pretty much in keeping with the tone of most of your posts in this thread though.
Echoing what "Legends and Icons" said, it's a good deal for both clubs as far as I'm concerned.

Correction - Mark Aston Tried to draft Sneyd into the Ireland Squad for the 2013 RLWC - but took too long to prove his eligbility ( Shamrock & a Guinness Label in his English Passport ) so James Mendeika took his 6 spot. shame as he would have played alongside Liam Finn !
I think Sneyd was under- appreciated in our squad in 2013, with the merry go round of coaches - Veivers- Hunte/Long - Veivers brought in the legend that was Liam Foran & then Noble brought in Lee Gaskell in his other best position . Even so he played 26 games last season half at Fullback, Half at 6. Glimses were there but he was by no means the finished article , everything has gone well for him this season and I wish him all the best on his next move.
Is he worth 100K+ i don't know, time will tell , but it would be foolish for us to comment ... we forked out a reoprted 70K for Timmy Smith ..

Personally I think it's a brilliant deal for us. I'd have been happy if we'd paid double, Pearson can afford it. He fits in to what we're trying to do as a club by building a core of young, talented players (mostly from Hull) with a couple of older heads with a bit of quality (Ellis, Paea, Pryce etc.). Pretty much trying to replicate the Wigan/Leeds/Saints models.

You're out of date. Young talent was last years pass sale gimmick.
This years is small skinny squad. Do keep up.
1865 (taken over by Gateshead in 199icon_cool.gif is the type of fan who would have a 15 page argument
on how good a signing Jimmy Cranky would be if the club announced it.

| Stevo just said that it was a brilliant piece of business by the Doctor.
I thought it was great business but now Stevo has said it,I'm beginning to doubt my judgment.

| Of course Fc fans are saying its a great signing, and it is a good signing, but Sneyd is not worth 100k, they've overpaid. I'd be a bit miffed if my club had forked out that much for a rookie. Sneyd could prove a good capture but FC have now set their stall out in regards to transfer fees that could come back to bite them later. I also love how chase is now so terrible in the eyes of same FC fans - is this the same Rangi Chase FC were absolutely desperate to buy but couldnt due to visa issues...

| So we look on the brink of getting rid of all the Cas bells who've been infesting this place recently and we get a replacement crank from Hull instead. Marvellous.

I suppose it comes with the territory these days. Can you imagine what it's going to be like when we start becoming successful on the pitch?
I shudder to think.

'It will be a while' would be more appropriate. It seems your excitement to get the first riposte in overcame you. Or banana fingers.

Out of interest, why? Like your club & Salford we can afford the fee so it's not likely to affect future recruitment. + contrary to popular belief transfer fees don't count on the salary cap so if A.Pearson is happy to pay that amount then fair play to him. MK will be happy he got the money for his player and AP will be happy we've signed a decent looking HB because god knows we need one, also a bonus that he's British.

| Because he's not worth it. 100k in the RL transfer market is a high figure that could buy better players than Sneyd.

Not stalking, honest. Its just that you're the one thats hit the nail on the head. I think it will get much worse as teams that are being overtaken by you will start crying foul. Accusations of salary breaches and any other rumour that fits.

We need a scrum half with a kicking game, so that rules out Myler and Robinson (I'd rather have Sneyd than both of these anyway).
Do you think Wigan would sell Smith?
Fages is even younger, less experienced than Sneyd, but he lots of potential, again at the moment I'd rather have Sneyd.
The lack of good young British half's is the reason why it is worth paying 100K for a player who could be atop half for the next team years.
Bateman who had played less game than than Sneyd went for a similar amount to Wigan and has proved a good signing, I'd imagine if Wigan had to sell Burgess who would command a decent fee also. I'd rather spend 100K on a young British player then sign an average overseas player like we have done in the past.
The fee doesn't effect the club as it will be out of Pearsons pocket.
I dont see why Hull and Salfords fan are arguing, you have 2 good halfs and one with potential and get some money, while we get a half than we have lacks for years.

It's less fans from Hull and Salford but more the infestation of inbreds we've had too deal with while Castleford thought they might tempt Sneyd with the promise of a marble, the lint from the owners pocket and half a packet of Rolos.
I think it's a brilliant deal for two clubs with wealthy owners, the wealth matters as Pearson can obviously afford the amount paid, the Doc gets good money and doesn't lose face and for me I get the smug warm feeling that Sneyd hasn't gone to Castleford.
