A centre would improve us at centre

I'd be totaly gutted to see Sneyd run out for that lot.

More Lance Todd trophies than they have challenge cups

You've got nowt to worry about.

Adds to the Tyrone May not coming back to Rovers though

If what I’ve heard is true about May then it’s very unlikely he’d be back, but can’t see it myself.

Got to wonder what the crack was with Walker. He could still have done a job for us but him not yet having a club maybe tells its own story. https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/exclusiv ... ext-99792/

Can't see Sneyd wanting to move or commute back to Hull. Obviosuly he will be worried about Salford financial state but with the advance in TV money surely his 2025 pay is secure.

Also would be silly for Salford to sell him first, his goal kicking alone generates a few wins a season.

Hardly a high bar but I thought he was went pretty well at times last season. I think he's good enough for SL but will always be a risk with his injury record. Good luck to him.

I’m sure he’ll find a new club. I like Jack and thought he was one of our better players last season.

I expect he’ll end up at Bradford. I think they’ll be the ones pushing for honours in the Championship next season and a push for a SL place, especially with the additional IMG points that a GF and 1895 Cup win would bring. He’d be a great signing for them.

Rovers will be able to offer him silly money for one last pay day, travelling might not be ideal but RL players really need all the big pay days they can get, I’d be pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t happen.

That depends on how much he's paid and how many minutes a club get's out of him. I suspect his salary at Hull was a little over-inflated to start with.

One of the drawbacks with Walker is that he's an out & out full-back, he is no where near as effective in any other position, and with the recruitment of Rapana he'd basically become either a back-up FB or a stop-gap emergency cover in one of the other back spots where, as I said, he doesn't operate any where near as well.

Taking into account his salary, I suspect that's why the club have released him. Mis-management of cap space has been one of our regular failings over the years so we can hardly blame the club for making decisions of this nature if they calculate it's in the best interests of the business.

Like you say, there is a suspicion he was possibly on an over-inflated salary, especially given his past injury record, which unfortunately for him will probable have worked against him in this case.
I think he is still more than capable of playing at SL level, but given the circumstances, we are not in a position to have someone of his ilk on the books merely to provide back-up cover. A tad harsh on him in truth, but I'm afraid that is how it pans out sometimes. We'd need more out of him to justify keeping him within the 2025 squad.
Hopefully he will find another club soon as he seems a decent enough lad.

Leigh now in for Sneyd it seems, surely a better bet for him in terms of travel and being bought a drink ever again in West Hull

I heard today that Leigh have made an enquiry and are really keen to offer money, that's certainly much more suited to Sneyds living arrangements. Interesting to see Mr Beaumont looking to poach a clubs best players when they are down, kettles and pans comes to mind!



Sorry I posted at the same time!

Been talking to someone closely associated with the club,apparently new owners are official next week,great news

Its a bit into the unknown for many of us who just want a team that cares as much as we all do it's the best Christmas Present we could have!

British or Australian do you know?

Are you a bit slow.

Probably

Dream world scenario...
Sezer suddenly becomes 'homesick'
We sign Sneyd & Cross .( Cash plus Chamberlain)
Leaving a quota place for a prop..

I might be doing him a massive disservice but seen his name banded about a lot, but would Cross really be that big an upgrade on Chamberlain at centre? They’re the same age, play the same positions and spent most of their careers in the lower leagues, very similar career paths. He always looks a good solid player to be me but never stands out as much as Lafai or Macdonald in that backline and they’ve also signed Marsters who they obviously rate higher.

If we are talking about dream scenarios and we could somehow find a quota spot I’d sooner we’d just use it on more of an attacking strike centre.

Agree on Cross, add some depth buts that's about it.

It's definitely out weakest area though.

He’s probably not slow but obviously news regards FC’s take over hasn’t made it to West Yorkshire yet. Now that is slow

Can see new owners getting their own CEO in eventually.

Hope he’s as bullish as Richie!
