Don’t rate Smith myself for a scrum half he doesn’t create enough and his kicking game is awful. He has improved since his first season with us, but I wouldn’t go offering him anymore than what he’s on now as I honestly don’t think there would be any difference if Sneyd took his place he certainly wouldn’t create any less than Smith and he has a better kicking game something we desperately lack. Im not saying Sneyd will do a good job but I’d like to see him given a chance. Like others have said I’d rather it be spent in the forwards. Smith couldn’t break into Celtic Crusaders squad that tells a story in its self.

Don’t get me wrong I like Matty & love his enthusiasm and determination but that doesn’t justify a new bigger deal, I could play for Salford and have enthusiasm and determination but It wouldn’t make me good enough.

Obviously playing behind a beaten pack doesn’t help and as stated he is to inconsistent, wouldn’t mind him as a squad player but that’s not a luxury Salford can afford im afraid. Money better spent elsewhere.

[iBy the sounds of it Matty Smith will be a Widnes Vikngs player next season.

The word is he has been offered a massive three year contract and Salford City Reds can't match it!

Good Luck to Matty in what ever he decides is best for him.[/i

Definately wouldn't break the bank to keep him. Hope we give our youngsters a go and sign some BEEF up front.

I've always liked Smith, always looks like he's giving 100%, shows some spirit on the pitch, and on his day, can be a very good scrum half.

BUT, if Salford are to achieve anything, with the limited budget we have, then we can't afford to pay over the odds for anyone. It's obvious we need to spend in the forwards, so if Widnes are offering more than the considerable deal Salford have offered, then let him go. I'd hope the club force the decision now though, so we're not shopping in the left over bin come the end of the year.

because we haven't got any money, the crowds we get don't pay the wages, and our fans will not dig any deeper to improve this situation, so it is catch 22 , then again we could do a Bradford but would the RFL bail Salford out, I doubt it, So until one of us drops over £100m on the Euro we are stuck where we are.

If Smith does leave I really hope we look to Sneyd rather than a journeyman. There's no point having rules in place regarding home grown players only for them to be overlooked at every opportunity. If we replace him with quality then i'll obviously have no issue but I really don't want to see an ageing or unproven overseas player for instance come in and play ahead of a youngster.

I kind of agree with what everyone is saying here about Sneyd etc but the one sinking feeling I have is that [iif[/i young Sneyd turns out to be a good un, what are our chances of keeping hold of him?

It's all well and good producing great young players but slightly depressing if you've no chance of keeping the ones who make the grade.

However if he never plays enough first team rugby we'll never find out. Unfortunately if he is good enough having him move on is just the problem we will always have whilst we are a small team who can't compete.

Far better to have him (Sneyd) play well for us and earn a move than him have his path blocked by a mediocre older/more australian player and leave anyway due to frustration.

Wonder what the likes of Sneyd feel about 5 year contracts being banded about to players that yet to play SL whilst while he played he impressed! I seem to remember Owen impressing towards the end of a season then being forgotten about until this season? Or maybe that should be forgotten about when Godwin is fit because he still prefers to play Howarth out of position at 9.
