It’s labelled “The vociferal minority”, a bit like Brexit, the majority voted for it but a minority want to derail it, bit like this forum.
Loose forward as you say has become the extra prop but teams are putting ball handling props in there with excellent results, hate to say it but before Westy, Watts was the ideal candidate. Ligi Sau’s position next season, to keep the spine going and aid Sneyd.

Not heard that term before but it's a good one. Completely agree on Watts, has great hands and would have been perfect. Gone a bit quieter on recruitment just now, maybe holding news o follow after our next loss. Has Sau been formally announced yet? Lose track with the press trailing stuff and actual announcements.

Personally I want Sneyd to continue doing what he’s doing. Leave the running and off the cuff stuff to Kelly’s and Connor.

BIG decision to be made when Carlos if fit again. Who do you go with in the centres. Connor should never be left out. Griffin makes a lot of ground. This is where the man management skills of the coaching team will be tested.

Got to be Carlos & Conor centres, Griffin on the bench.

Personally I think that would be harsh on Griffin, but I suppose thats what the coaches get paid to do, make the big calls.

Carlos defence is better than griffins but Griffin really does bring the ball out well and often gets us out of trouble doing it. His error rate seems to be low too. Doubt well have all of shaul, connor Griffin, Carlos, Kelly and sneyd fit much of the time anyway so wont be an issue

My thoughts exactly , good problem to have if all fit

aree totally with this but hey what a fantastic problem to have!

I also think we should switch connor, Kelly and sneyd around more when all 3 are playing. Bringing connor inside on occasion would cause defences some issues and confusion

A bit left field this, how about putting Sneyd in at 9 to give Houghton a ten minute breather so allow Connor and Kelly a go in the halves?

I dont see a problem moving them around,especially in any match where nothings happening.

Sneydy is our beating heart, our rudder, organiser, and the ultimate game manager. Not to mention probably the best kicker in the world out of hand or from a tee.
He will always have critics because no-one is perfect.
But what we do know is that with his present skill set he is already a great player, already a double back to back Lance Todd winner and club legend to be, if not already.
Anyone who fits the great category will do for me.
I think he's the best English scrum half in the game right now and hope England come calling for him.

Sneyd would be great for GB, playing behind our pack and with someone like Lomax. How many tight games have we lost, he is the perfect man for that type of game

Marc's playing performances and attributes have been debated ad nauseam on this forum, but to my mind his greatest asset (intrinsically linked to his physical performance) is his mental approach - his cool, calm take on things whenever we see him interviewed and, by all accounts, his detailed and competitive approach to training and each and every game. For me, if he can maintain his current performances, never mind any improvements, then I'll be happy.

Not whilst Bennet’s the coach.

He needs more consistency to make the international team in my opinion.
Good but still needs to perform week in week out.

I think that’s a team problem , not just Sneyd , if our forwards turn up , Sneyd never lets them down

I agree Zuider, I think also that the scrum half is the one position that needs his forwards to set a platform of dominance or at least have equality, to give the scrum half an even chance of performing

Without this no scrum half can operate. And when we’ve been rolled over, I have to agree Sneyd has been as “off it” as anyone.
And if your engine and brain isn’t working ..... well, we’ve all seen what happens.

Ok its not Rocket science but I think he will have one record in the bag this season (drop goals).

Can’t believe he’s been here six seasons! Agree, great signing

When was the last time we had a half back for 6 straight seasons?

Cooke & Horne?
