You are Garry Schofield and I claim my £5.

Oh, I appreciate you are entitled to an opinion, but its not a very accurate or justified one.

I remember the incidents surrounding his departure very well and it was completely the opposite to the circumstances surrounding the departure of Lee Crooks who actually refuse to leave at first. In fact checking back in the Hull Daily Mail I have here in one of my scrap books it says across the back page "Garry Schofield asks for a Move" The article then goes on to say that Schofield had said that that "the Club was no longer a good place to be" and Dick Tingle went on to say, 'A source at the Club commented that he is refusing to play for Hull FC again and wanted a quick resolution to his move to Leeds'
Perhaps too, you should ask a few of those who were working for the Hull FC at the time what Mr S did with his Club car before he returned it to the Club.

Yes Wilf that is how I remember it, had to drag Crooks out of the club kicking and screaming.

a leeds fan calling sneyd? couldn't make it up! you would think he would be more worried about his own teams pensioners playing in the halves! lol

With the Schofield departure it was always strange that he agitated for a move after being visited by Maurice Bamford, allegedly on a scouting trip for GB when he was playing in Australia. Bamford was also Leeds coach at the time so no conflict of interest there. Because Bamford always played the clown (even though with him it wasn't an act he truly was a clueless coach) this happy coincidence escaped closer scrutiny. Anyway in the end he ended up at one of the most under performing teams around and though I'm sure the cash was nice his medal cabinet has a lot of empty real estate.

Until Schoey wins a Challenge Cup winners medal then he shouldn't be accepting a challenge against a Lance Todd Trophy winner in anything.



Not true. Schofield was unhappy with being paid only half of that what Gary Pearce was.

You appear to have Crooks and Schofield mixed up

An easy mistake to make NOT

Whatever your opinion of him is, there's no doubt the Garry Schofield was world class. Marc Sneyd still has some catching up to do in that respect.

We need more from sneyd on a consistent basis. If schofield hadn't had a pop at him he wouldn't have taken that 2nd try last night, he'd have (probably rightly) passed it to the winger. We saw with the 2 that kelly scored whata half who takes the line on can achieve and we need sneyd to do more of this

Whilst I think the Fatscho was a world class player in his day and he knows the game etc what I find difficult to understand is that whilst he may well have had a valid point on some of the things he was getting at it was the pure venom and vitriol in his rant.

Quite honestly don't know what Sneyd had done to warrant it. However just shows the type of guy/player we have in Sneyd to put in a performance like he did last night after the blasting he had from Fatscho.

sneyd imo is a kicking half, he brings good game management and tackles well, yes he could take the line on more but that imo isn't his natural game, all in all am really glad we have him for the next 3 years and imo Kelly is the perfect foil

he certainly does need a strong 6 beside him, Pryce whilst past his best allowed him to do his thing and that lack of experience at 6 last week had an influence on his overall performance.
Let's hope we can keep Kelly on the field and performing as we know he can do because Sneyd will certainly benefit from that

30+ years ago but if my memory serves, Schofield signed a contract with FC. Then headed off to West Tigers for the summer. FC gave him permission to play for them as long as they were in contention. Whilst he was over in Oz, he found out what Muggleton and Stirling had signed for and told his female agent to renegotiate his contract. FC rightly told him to do one. He consequently told FC he would never play for them again, having held talks with money bags Leeds. Hence Judas, money over loyalty. Not been around long have you?

No, Steling and Muggleton had left by then. It was Gary Pearce's contract that Schofield had an issue with.

Dear oh dear. Price hardly played a game last season, Tumevaive was his half partner, ask Bonaire, he'll tellyou he didn't have a strong half back partner all season but still won Lance Todd trophy but don't let that cloud you're judgement. FFS
