Good luck to him whatever he decides.

His performances at Cas have surprised most of us and he deserves a starting place at 6 or 7.

We have decided that Dobson and Chase will be our first choices so you can't blame him at all.

As regards the fee,it's being suggested that there's a formula that the RFL works to.

I've no idea whether that's true but clearly if that's right then we'll have no choice

Sneyd's future is at Castleford it seems in that case.

Sneyd's future is where his agent can get him and himself the best deal. Sneyd's future at Cas is not certain at all at the moment.

But the "best" deal is not necessarily entirely financial - for a player with aspirations say to play internationals etc. it may well include the prestige value of the club, the quality of the coaching etc etc - many factors.

His agent has been offering him to several SL clubs so it would seem that his heart is not set on a move to Cas but too wherever he can get the best deal.If he was dead set on a move to Cas he would tell his agent to get the deal done regardless of the financial package being offered but he hasnt done that.

His agent has acted badly on this one.Going round offering the services of his client to other clubs when he already has an existing contract with 18 months still to run is not good.

I never suggested it was.



I was inferring that the best deal is one where all parties are happy. That may well mean he moves to a different Club than Cas and us.

I'd hope St Helens would be intrested in him but can't see us paying any large fee?

Saints would be a good move. Player exchange as well? As long as Turner is not suggested. Percival would be interesting. Doc & Eamonn get on too so maybe a door ajar there.

Surely he wants to be playing somewhere where he would be first choice half back. Would he be guaranteed that at Saints?

ironically, it was Marwan's messing around with marquee signings and golden tickets that meant they didnt have time to debate the issue of home grown allowances at the Chairman's meeting!

I would imagine he would become our first choice 6. Either Lance Hohaia will be going home (unlikely), or will drop back to being a rotation player as he was last year.



We have struggled for a 6 for years. Wheeler was supposed to be getting the gig this year, but has barely played. Lance is distinctly average there. Turner has not really done anything to suggest he can make it there, and there are no young half backs on the horizon.

Where a transfer is to take place pursuant to Operational Rule C1:3:16 above and the two Clubs are unable to reach agreement then the following scale of payments shall apply:



A sum equivalent to the sum of £115 per week of training and education invested in the Player and a further lump sum of £5,000 if the Player attains a salary of £25,000 per annum or more with the new Club.



So, if Sneyd has been at Salford for 5 years in total (?), he would be worth about £35k.
