I don't think anyone has actually said on here that he has turned down an offer from Trinity.
Does anyone actually KNOW he is leaving or is it just wild panic?

Yes, signed for Cas! Went with the better deal.

Pity, but I guess we got our money's worth

Absolutely gutted he has gone!

A real rarity is this one!

Just shows the quality of Snitch when no-one has a bad word to say on here, usually when someone is rumoured to be off the knives come out.

Gutted to see the lad go and a great signing for Cas, but what can you do? Money talks, and if Cas are prepared to offer more then so be it, I can't criticise Snitch for going for more money as you have to look after yourself with it being such a short career.

Yep, it just shows that we all see the effort and hard work he's put in, big shame.

would rather he stayed but then one player ain't going to improve cas that much they need a few more signing I would of thought, hope it doesn't impair his game for the rest of the season

Won't make any difference IMO. he only knows one way to play.

time for the bring back solomona crew

Boo the tw@ for the rest of the season now. Been waiting for a reason to do it

I think superleague and the contract system for players will mean that there will be an increasing merry-go-round of players and very few players will get into long service.. and fewer will reach testamonial status.

3 years/ seasons at one club will be a long stay.

also as the numbers of good young players increases there will be a greater surplus of choice on youngsters...

He will be missed but I cannot get how a player under contract can agree a deal with another club how can a release come into play unless a fee is met to buy out the rest of his contract? Surely the club must of told him he can talk but still he signed for 2years so a fee is needed to compensate what he is paid even if he has rejected a new deal.

Players may aswell not have contracts as they just don't appear to be in existance no more

And his team for 2011 will be.....? Who knows, probs not Scratchy himself.

Been great for us this year, but wants to move on, IMO more journey-man style than anything else.

Will he settle at a club for more than a few years, and does it matter:-

a) to the club he has just joined?
b) to the fans of the club he has just joined?
c) to the fans of the club he has just left?

It certainly shouldn't matter to the club he has just left.

Best of luck to you Steve. Bloody good player.

Now, do we have a game on Sunday?

Shame he's leaving but he goes with my best wishes...awesome this season Mr Snitch...

Fergy and Morrison in the back row will still be a mouth watering partnership.

I reckon the club needs to be a bit more careful when negotiating contracts there seems to be at least 3/4 people on here who know the financial details of the offer to Snitch! Maybe that's why he doesn't want to stay!
