Quote: Stanley30 "Wasn't impressed with Sneyd, thought he looked average against Swinton. Can't see him being good enough to be honest. He has been around the first team for long enough now and still looks like a rabbit in the headlights and struggles to pick a pass. Just because he can kick goals does not mean he should be in the team. Theo needs another year or two as do a few of the other academy lads from last year. Would benefit them more if we could get them loaned out to Oldham for a bit and learn there trade there. Obviously beggers can't be choosers but I would imagine 2 halves and top of Phils wish list when he gets some money'"
While it would be nice to exchange views on the merits of rugby league performances it may be a bit premature,and certainly not helpful,to be negative.
It must be very hard for the players to keep their heads in the right place while the off-field drama has continued for so long so to play in a convincing team victory is more than welcome and they can continue in the same manner, with the same results,as far as I am concerned.
The past few months must have been particularly difficult for the 2 young players you mention and I thank them and the rest of the players for their dedication to the cause.
I think it more beneficial for our young players to come through the system and be willing to learn from our coaching staff as they,the players,mature and gain more experience.
I'm sure Sean Long must have played an average pre-season game and I seem to recall he didn't have too bad a playing career.Judging players over 80 mins.against lower league opposition isn't the ideal way to assess their playing ability.
Anyway,wasn't the Licensing system meant to encourage clubs to develop their own players without the fear of relegation and prevent clubs spending their way out of trouble and getting into financial troubles
