Agree, I am still unsure on Sneyd, I think we need a good quality half back to challenge what we have already.
Westerman has not fulfilled his potential and if he is one of our higher earners and we can use his wages to bring in a quality half back then that would be a good move.
With the pack we have next year I don't think Westerman would be a great loss and if Sneyd cant perform behind that pack next year then he might as well give up.

Pritchard has come off the bench many times in his career. Only last year or so he's reverted back. This is a Different league and I personally think coming off the bench in our league and running fresh at fatigued opposition were defences are not as structured he would be devastating. Plus he gets older each season. Plus we play more games a year than he's used to without byes for rest weeks.

Hull have a history of not being able to deal with certain types of player personality. Danny Brough was another who was shown the door....wonder what happened to him?

spent a few years in the wilderness then went to Huddersfield where his talent has been utilised, but he isn't as good as most make out. Best of a poor bunch imho. He's grown up thats for sure, but it took a while.

Most players have come off the bench during their careers but he doesn't now.

SL still isn't a patch on the NRL. Sure at Easter he will need a break but he is a very fit guy.

Plus he is more of a ball handler than a devastating runner and so isn't an impact player to be used off the bench.

We still need to use him sensibly IMO and not play him for 80 minutes every week until he invariably breaks down as we do with all of our back rowers

Correct, and with the quality we have none of our forwards should be doing 80 minutes unless we are down to the bare bones.

Hard to choose a forward pack for next year, if Westy stays, one of Mini, Pritchard or Manu will be on the bench!

Imagine starting with Mini and Manu and then when one of them goes off, on comes Frank.

What effect will that have on opposition teams?

Exactly my point. As an offloaded passer and runner all combined I think he'd be best suited to our league coming from the bench. Given the rotation options we'll also get more out of mini. Mini in say two 30 min spells would be much better. Not knocking him but his errors n pens were massive. Due to slogging himself. With a more balanced workload he'll be more effective imo.
Pritchard and Taylor off the bench 5/10 mins apart 20 or so in when Defenses have dipped in intensity and fatigue kicking in would be hard and in many game demoralising to the opposition

I would start with Frank and Manu and bring Mini off the bench for his spells.

Mini is more of a runner than Frank.

Agreed and I'm not saying he should play 80 minutes every week. Especially with our options in the back row.

But he should start imo and is more than capable of playing the full 80 minutes if required.
