Tbf it's a lovely morning.Perfect day for few beers and bit of RL..Your team may surprise you today and put on a show.

He is a whipping boy, plenty of other players have been criticized this season, Teyjokds, Fonua, Reynolds and some fringe players like Bowden and Scott.

7 is such an important position and he has not performed well enough the last 3 years, we arent taking about a few games, we are talking about 60 plus in which he has played well in only a handful.

People keep saying he is good enough, but never back it up with anything.


As mentioned there has been plenty of times our pack has put us in the position but Sneyd and the pivots havent been good enough and relied on a bomb or Connor.

What does Sneyd bring to the team?

What other halfback in the league cant make a break or put a player through the gap, where is his short passing game, why cant he do a cut out pass like other halfbacks.

His defemce is awful,ok halfbacks arent known for defence, but is there another halfback who misses one on one tackles as much as Sneyd.

His kicking including goal kicking and certainly drop goals has been very inconsistent.

So at the moment, what does Sneyd bring to the team.

I think we are stuck with him for next season, so he has to improve or he should not be in the 13.

We certainly have other problems but IMO our main issues has been creativity and that comes down to the 1, 6, 7 and 9.

Some fans just cant seem to find fault with Sneyd.

Far be it from me to stick up for Sneyd, I think he's been awful to but going off super league stats these halfbacks have missed more tackles.
Maloney 76
Miller 73
Lolohea 55
H Smith 54
Widdop 51

Sneyd is 19th on the list with 48 & the 10th best half back for assists with 13 compared to Connors 21.

This year Maloney, Miller, Lolohea and Widdop, last year Lolohea, Miller, Gale, Maloney, Richardson, Austin, Sezer all missed more tackles.



Drop goals have been hit and miss this season although he was joint top in SL for them last season, top in 2019, second in 2018 (despite missing half the season), fourth in 2017, second in 2016 and top in 2015 so probably the best in SL in the last six years.

The comment on goal kicking is just not true, Dave. He had that wobble in the Leigh game missing four in a row but his success rate this year is 80%. It was the same % in 2020. 2019 was 83%, 2018 was 81%, 2017 was 87%. Also worth pointing out that he's only missed seven games in three seasons.

His passing is the weakness but then you could point to weaknesses in most half backs.

Yet again another thread turns into a sneyd knocking one.

Ive stopped this discussion, its like talking to a brick wall.

We are 11th overall for metres and in the bottom half for attacking kicks. That alone tells you we play the majority of our games in our own half. Despite tge fact he never brings oht to the table (lol) he finds himself in the top 20 for try assists year after year. He also the player that creates the space for Connor.

Absolute tripe posted on this board these days.

Guess he’s not as bad as a lot have tried to say. I was reading Wire fans reaction to Hill leaving and one fan said there pack is small as it is and will be bullied next season, if their only signing is Joe Bullock, which will mean their halves won’t be as effective.
FC’s pack haven’t been as dominant as some are trying to make out apart from the first few games, when most were fit. Then Covid hit, the training facilities were shut as some seem to forget. Cohesion and fitness suffered especially for big Chris. Sneyd’s a proven organiser and match winner and when FC are at something like full strength and have all pivots playing, they’re a match for any team in Super League. This season’s been a debacle. Let’s get it over with and hopefully the usual suspects will calm down and perhaps buy a season pass for once, at least then they’ll be justified in having a rant now and then.
I’m off to watch the game shortly and will no doubt be drowning my sorrows in the pub afterwards

People live in the dark ages where they think a half back will change everything. In the modern day everyone has to do the job or it doesnt work. Could we do better then Sneyd probably, however he is not the problem at the club far from it.

If you are happy with Sneyds form force years and want blame it all on the forwards that's up to you.

Fair point about the goal kicking, just seemed to miss more kicks this year.

Agree though his main issue is passing, that along with running, which I'd say are two big weaknesses for a halfback. I don't think his attacking game has been that great either.

Errrrmmmmm, back onto the topic of “What now”, I’m going to let my direct debit for 2 passes run and run ad infinitum as a friend described it, until I snuff and they can’t get owt from my bank account

Try to see some positives in my club, try not to get annoyed when I come on here and read some of the stupid and inaccurate posts, try not to be too subdued when the majority on here post there continuous negative comments over and over again hoping I’ll agree with them and try to get to as many games as possible whilst I still can. Lighten up, we’re here for a good time, not a long time and believe me, it’s over all too quick for some.
