I've just been looking at the results so far and we've won 5 league and 1 cup game due to Sneyd's accuracy with the boot. tickle was an excellent kicker, as was cooke and sammy lloyd and gary pearce used to kick them from anywhere on the pitch out of a hole in the mud with an old fashioned ball, but I don't think I've ever seen a Hull player kicking goals as well as Sneyd is this year and if we do go on to win anything it will down in no small part to this.

Does anyone know how many he's attempted and how many he's kicked this year?

94 from 112 in the league only - around 84% success

Love Sneyd and always have done and when all were calling him i was saying give him time

Sadly i dont feel the same way about Tui though after seeing Abduls last couple of games feel he could be the answer as Sneyds half back partner

I like Abdull as the 6. Carlos hasnt shown anything at 6 for me to think he is the answer. He doesnt have a kicking game, and i dont think he is great with ball in hand. Much better at centre

By comparison:
Gale 77%
Finn 78%
Gidley 80%
Richards 70%
Smith 75%
Brough 75%
Hanbury 67%
Walsh 79%
O'Brien 71%

Surprised it's not higher than that. He must have missed a few early on as he's barely missed any recently

Agree about carlos. He also doesn't seem very robust and if he's our first choice 6 next year I can see abdul getting plenty of game time

Sneyd out in front then unsurprisingly. Where do these stats come from?

Was the one missed at Salford the first miss since Magic Weekend?

Carlos came on and changed the game against Rovers at magic and I think was promoted to first choice 6 on the back of it. I didn't have any objections at all but in hindsight it probably isn't the best option going forward. He has all the ability in the world (even the other night he showed a couple of flashes of brilliance), but for me his skills are better used at centre. My mind is bound to change several times between now and next season, but currently I would like to see:

Shaul
Fonua
Griffin
Tuimavave
Talanoa
Abdull
Sneyd

That's not a bad backline

Agree with this also. Dont get me wrong I like Carlos as a player but for me he just doesnt seem to gel with Sneyd or the rest of the team when he is playing at 6. When you compare Abdulls last 2 performances in the same position at 6 I thought he brought an awful lot more to the 17 than Carlos does. In defence of Carlos he had just come back from another lay off so that may have some bearing on it.

He missed a long penalty away at Cas that would have given us an 8 point lead fairly late on. Thankfully Tickle missed that conversion and so it didn't matter. There may have been another one or two, but nothing springs to mind

Like Sinfield at Leeds, Sneyd always making every try into six points puts pressure on the other team. Abdull just a back up for me Carlos will start at 6, thought he played well friday and caused them problems, plus his defence better than Abdull's.

Disagree thought Carlos was average on Friday and was easily beaten by Williams for the 1st Wigan try (as he wasn't set properly). He did grow into the game and finished well, but overall I thought he didn't do enough to warrant being called up ahead of Abdull. However we got he result and that's what mattered. Think the real problem though is that he has picked up a few injuries that has prevented him getting an extended run in the team, thus not allowing him to build up a understanding/partnership with Sneyd.

I'd like to see Fonua stay at Centre. After a shaky start he's growing into the role and with more experience he could be a very special player. Either way it's great to have such a dilemma.

Cheers, didn't realise it had missed goal attempts on there

What about playing Connor at 6?

Shaul
Lancaster
Fonua
CT
Talanoa
Connor
Sneyd

Yes I am still banging the Lancaster drum.

Certainly a lot of competition in the back 6 next year (Sneyd being the guarantee).

Naughton, Shaul, Connor, Griffin, Yeaman?, Tala, Fonua, Michaels?, Lancaster, Logan, Abdull, HTW, Tuimavave.

Not sure what Connor's half back experience is, but his aggression could be a good foil for Sneyd's guile.

We were talking of making a really long banner, like a hundred metres long, that said Sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed! I checked the Wembley website and largest banner you are allowed is 2.5 metres. I don't think that would be as impressive. Sne!

-eyd

Could have 15 metres if you've got 5 pals.

didn't he play 6 against us and their place a few weeks back?

On Sneyd, his in-play kicking is absolutely superb, has it on a string on a bad day. Even when he looked poor kicking it straight into Tomkins arms on Friday, he'd clearly just clocked on that the rat boy didn't want it at all. As for CT, I think he was only meant to be a back up 6 and he's more a natural fullback or centre.
