Hauraki is out of contract this year. I don't think the club are that stupid to do a swap deal for an out of contract player?

Trust me no offense taken.

Good try at baiting me.

I have no problem with anyone's opinion as long as it's structured, thought-out, and civil.

The difference between this article and an opposition fan typing it on here is fairly obvious. It's an article written elsewhere. Whereas if it was dumped here on our forum specifically, it would go into the excessive pile of threads entitled "Here's my opinion on your Club whether you're interested or not."

How many threads are there on the Leeds board, or the Catalan board, or the Dewsbury board from opposition fans deciding that they know how a Club that they see a couple of times a year is supposed to be run? Not many in comparison. If at all.

I suppose we should grow thicker skin, but it does get tiring quickly.

Totally agree. Thought that myself when i read it.

Plus when Cas signed Brett Seymour I presume he would of been first choice 7 over Sneyd? (I'm sure one of our many friends from Cas will correct me if I'm wrong?)

Nobody envisaged Marc Sneyd's form this season, although some will argue Daryl Powell seen the potential hence signing him whereas Noble didn't (hence loaning him out and spending £70k on Tim Smith).

I also doubt any Cas fan had Sneyd as their starting 7 when they were posting their starting 17 during pre-season.

Fair article. I think most Salford fans would agree with at least the general gist of it.



The difference being that opposition fans on this forum mainly say it in a poorly written, aggravating way. They're not doing it to give a fair opinion, they're doing it to sh*t-stir and with the background of having an agenda.



How is that a "left field" prediction? Hardly a shattering viewpoint/unlikely possibility, Charlie. I think most of us are aware that there's a very good chance Sneyd will stay where he is.

Odd one with Sneyd. I was told at our last home game Dobson was a done deal, yet Marwan is insistent that Marc will be coming back too.

Perhaps we're parting company with Rangi? After all if nobody can fit with him.......??

I'd be saying that too in order to broker the best deal in cash or player exchange, just like Cas did with Chase when he was under contract last season .

What figure would you put on Sneyd considering his form, age and his goal kicking ability?
Do you think 100K would be realistic in todays market?

Whatever outcome you come to the real figure will be somewhat less, as it always is. A lot of RL fans seem to inflate values for some reason, when the reality is that ANY money changing hands is always welcome to any Club. This usually means that lower numbers are more a reality than the pie in the sky numbers we fans think in an ideal world.

In addition to the replies you've already had on this, I'd add that a lot of the things fans of other clubs come on here (and the VT) to tell us they're irate about are things they've made up: Marwan is a fraudulent GP from St Helens; he insists on people referring to him as 'Doctor'; he's breaking the salary cap; he tried to get a televised match moved for his own convenience; he sacks players at will; he interferes with team selection; he picked the players in the squad, not the coach. These are just a few examples of the Straw Marwans we've been presented with in this past year. I think one of them - the players being chosen by him and not the coach - is one of yours. What's your evidence for that?

And, of course, these pearls of wisdom are usually accompanied by the puerile variations on his name. I guess these are adults writing these screeds, but they still have to resort to the sort of behaviour that most of us left behind when we exited the sand pit and wendy house. 'Kin pathetic. It demeans us all because it makes all RL look like a bunch of nappy filling infants who can't construct an argument but have to rely on name calling. Maybe we should book them all on a crash course on growing up.

I appreciate what you are saying but we got £200K for Richie Myler 4 years ago. Cue the where did the Myler money go. I thought I was being rather conservative with my valuation.

I'd pay 100k for Sneyd to come to saints (if I were chairman of saints of course) - 100k-150k seems like sensible deal for both parties (if the Dobson rumours are true) - in reality, I doubt money will be what Salford (koukash) would settle for, so a player swap would be more likely
