Quote ="builditandtheycome"Fages has been very underwhelming this season, he needs to step up and improve dramatically in my opinion. Still wouldn't surprise me if he was named young player of year again though, he can't do anything wrong if you beleive people. Theo has to be loaned out for me and prove himself like Sneyd has done this season.
What makes me laugh, since Sneyd put in be request some of our fans have come out with, well he's only got a good boot. Now the Cas fans who where quite frankly obsessed with the opportunity of signing him, they are coming out well, he only had a good half a season and we got Roberts coming over with X amount of games under his belt and is the better option. Don't know why fans of both sides turn soon as a player decided to leave or choose another club. As a fan, I would of live Marc to have stay but circumstances have meant he see's his future elsewhere. Again as a fan, I'm disappointed another youth product (if you beleive people we don't produce any) will be plying his trade elsewhere next season. We now have numerous players from out system dotted around SL, I would like to keep these players and have home grown core from SRD. Fans may have not got their back up over MS moving on as we as a club are in much better position to sign better players. There may be the odd few like myself that would rater have a team full of, Evalds, Sneyd, Walne brothers, Davidson, Owen rather than players such as J Murphy, McGoldrick, Muallaney, T Smith, S Rapira, T Lee, the list could go on TBH.
Ps for the grammar police sorry if there is a couple mistakes, I'm in my phone.'"
Some good points.
I'm a Salford fan who thought Sneyd was good for us. Not consistent but well above average. All this in a poor team at the time. I haven't seen anything to change my mind after watching him for Cas. He's had some good performances and some poor ones. The difference being he's been playing in a better side than last seasons Salford side. I don't buy all the Cas fans saying he's made vast improvements under their coaching in comparison. They're basing that on the fact that he's performed well overall so far in a team that's riding a crest of a wave. If they'd have struggled in the table so far but Sneyd played the same they wouldn't be making the same calls. Plus most of it stems from the 'we want to keep him at all costs' brigade.
I can't speak for anyone else, but the loss of Sneyd for me isn't hitting me hard. For the simple reason that the players ahead of him in the pecking order at Salford are, in my opinion, much better. If we didn't have Chase or Dobson it would be hitting much harder.
