Possible that we may have overpaid but Sneyd was under contract, other clubs were after him, we had missed out on our other targets and AP paid what it took to get his man.

I don't have a problem with that.

Just a small point but if weve paid a fee for Sneyd then how come we haven't got him this season?

because we've paid to get him out of the last year of his contract?

And it'll be stipulated in his loan deal that he can't be sold, plus his wage probably wouldn't fit in to our cap.

Rankin is cover for Shaul and for Pryce. I'd love him to stay. He's passionate and really gets stuck in.

Pryce can also play FB effectively.

HTW and Abdull will learn more from Pryce than Horne.

I agree, I hope Rankin stays. As you say he is very enthusiastic, plus he knows where the tryline is - ten tries in sixteen games so far.
