Sneyd can also play fullback and he's a far superior goal kicker and general kicker than Mullaney.

Mullaney has better hands than Sneyd and his defence is better too.

If I am correct in thinking that coaches do not count on the salary cap and are not considered 'marquee',then McManus
may be spending the money elsewhere if reports in the Australian press are correct,and another head coach of Australian provenance is to leave your club.

And after bringing through Jamie Ellis, Kyle eastmond, Matty smith, lee Gaskell, johnny lomax and Danny Yates in the last 5 years, and all of them moved about/on, supplies in reserves are running a little low

Let's not get carried away. He's never a full back in a million years.

Has McManus pushed for a vote on re instating the under 21s comp yet? He seemed to feel very strongly about it after the last meeting.

I agree that halfback is his favoured position but he played a number of games at fullback last year and got a lot of praise from not only Salford supporters but fans from other clubs. It's surprising just how many halfbacks end up playing fullback.

Not disputing your opinion but the stats.make interesting reading considering you have played 1 top 4 side in Wigan,and won,whereas SRD have played 2 top 4 sides,more or less,in Saints and Wolves,and lost.

I love how the Cas fans are clinging onto the hope that Sneyd wouldnt want to return to Salford next season. Less than 6 months ago they were bagging their own board for selling Chase to Salford and taking Sneyd on loan in return. Not one of their supporters included him within their "starting 17" and pretty much all opted for Seymour and Ellis at half back.

Sneyd will be back at Salford next season, end of. Castleford havent got the money to buy the kid and why do Salford need to sell? If he keeps his performances up he shouldnt struggle for a place in our team next season.



I agree. Felt sorry for him at times last season when he was played here, it was always obvious he was a half-back and is clearly relishing in that position at Cas behind a half decent pack.

Wrong.

I wouldn't be too sure of that if I were you.

Seriously, is that the belief or the understanding over your neck of the woods over Clark?

We heard rumours regularly, but they died down last year, nothing more has cropped up.

Your post made me laugh.

Maybe a bit of Job security will be playing on his mind? The DR`s not the most patient, if he pulls his money out off your club then where does that leave your players ? unpaid, contract terminated, Looking for a new gig.

Unless I am reading it wrong, the stats seem to indicate that Clark has made more than 300 more metres than Lee, scored more tries, has less missed tackles, made more tackle busts, more clean breaks and more offloads?

Two entirely different types of hookers. One's a tackle machine and organiser with a rugby brain who can throw a decent ball. The other is an agile impact hooker with natural pace who's deadly at running from acting halfback, especially against tired defences.

How do you know the Doctor isn't patient? What has he done in his precious business and sporting ventures to enable you to come to such a conclusion.

Can Sneyd play this week with him being on loan?

Yes.

Like I've said elsewhere, it's amazing the amount of people who are so clued-up about our Club and Koukash. We must have the largest secret following out of any Club, as the number of opposition fans who come on here knowing everything is frightening.

In reality, spouting their own particular brand of nonsense passed-off as some kind of hard fact, qualifies them only as Keyboard Chimps. Smearing their faeces ridden fingers across their keyboards in a self-assured display of proud subnormal reasoning. Unable to see their own stupidity for the fog of numbness that engulfs them.

Pity them.

I'm far from a keyboard warrior, you read the Interview with DR in express today ? He absolutely slates Noble For your teams "unacceptable performances" slagging off a well respected coach publicy that is held with high regard in the game after 5 games with a completelty new team and unlucky with injuries - that and previous interviews I've seen and read is what I'm basing my opinion on.

I don't claim to be in the know, it's clear to see he's very passionate - I just hope for the good of your club he does show a good level off patience - I'm not trying to stir trouble I wish you guys all the best to make one comment that is well backed up and to be called a stupid and a chimp is a bit embarrassing on your behalf butcher

So nothing to substantiate that Marwan isn't patient? I would suggest you look into how long the Doc has been involved with horse racing and check how many winners he had in his first year. Hardly inpatient.

He's frustrated at the teams performances so far, we all are. Missing tackles, dropping balls, confusion amoungst players, throwing balls into touch and giving stupid penalties away aren't down to injuries. I appreciate some of those issues we've experienced so far should be put down to the gelling of a new team but Koukash is just echoing the thoughts of the supporters.

We've had a topic discussing whether this is correct for a chairman to do, the verdict was split but I personally found it refreshing from the usual bullsh*t chairmans spout. Also if it has a positive impact on the coaching staff and players and we beat Cas at weekend, it will be another master stoke. Granted it could go the other way.

You've done it again.

You've turned your opinion, an opinion based on nothing but your own feelings into some kind of statement to make a point. The only people embarrassing themselves are those making unqualified judgements. My previous rant was not aimed at you personally, you just happened to be the last person I read doing it. It gets somewhat tiresome listening to fans of other teams come on here and think they are making some kind of Godly announcement about things that they have a passing knowledge of. Your point makes no point at all. It's stating something without basis. Now, I realise that this is a forum where people can air their views, it's also a place for those views to be questioned. The only truthful part of your post was 'I don't claim to be in the know.'

I guess I'm just tired of the know-it-all fan who actually knows very little. If I offended then I apologise. But my point still stands.

Cas would love to sign Marc sneyd! But he would only count as 100000 on our cap no matter want we offer him, thus giving us the upper hand.
