This must be very unsettling for Marc Sneyd and I can't see this situation being resolved any time soon. The timing isn't the wisest move by his agent with a lot more games in front of Sneyd this year.



If this gets in his head his form could suffer.

Anyone want to hazard a guess at the reception Sneyd will get next week?

I would think that your fans will be fine with him.

Not great from the travelling masses from Salford

But what you have to remember is there is only 1 person to blame for that and its a certain Mr Noble. We have made our own fair share of transfer gaffs over the years though namely Shaun Lunt, Who would have thought he would have turned out to be the player he is? Certainly not me.

We'll give him a good reception. At the end of the day we used Sneyd as bait for Chase and it's backfired on us. Although i would still ask for a big transfer fee as for me Sneyd is a class act (hope he makes a u-turn). And still young we need to start seriously looking for a class hooker as this is a position with the expection of Tomkins we've struggled!

Twitter has made interesting reading over the last 24 hours or so. #FreeMarkSneyd #FreeTheSalfordOne #BlessThem



If he doesn't want to stay then we should get rid, but, on the other hand, we also shouldn't be held to ransom over him.

Couldn't this in the end ultimately disturb Cas more than us. Marc plays a blinder at Magic Weekend and Powell is happy too tell the world that he wants to sign him thus potentially unsettling our player.



We enter into negotiations with him and make it very plain that we expect him to honour the remainder of his contract with us and that both parties allegedly discuss converting him into a hooker.



Marc is touted round by his son of Salford agent (Blease I hope never darkens our door again) and the player puts in a transfer request.



Now surely if say a Saints or Warrington came in with a bid too purchase him immediately we would do just that meaning that Castlesfords lynch pin this season is sold from under their feet potentially destabilising their campaign and them dropping further down the ladder (they already looked like a bubble has burst at Wigan last week).



I guess for that scenario too happen us selling player with immediate effect would null and void his season long loan move.

I wouldn't consider Sneyd as Castleford's lynchpin. He's had a decent half season and his goal kicking has been top drawer but I consider them more a collective force of hard working players motivated by Powell in the infancy of his tenure. New blood, new enthusiasm. For how much longer will the sun keep shining? 3 months, 6 months, 12 months? Much credit for getiing where they are but the really hard part will be sustaining this level over a longer period.



I wouldn't be surprised if a rugby union club make an offer for Sneyd because his biggest asset is his kicking game.

Ha ha! That's got the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster!

I’m torn on his reception;



a) I hope he gets a good reception, would be a shame to things turn sour between the fans and the player. He deserves our support, the club loaned him out, he’s proved a point at Cas thus far yet the club sign another Australian on a big contract to play in his position. If he knows the fans are still with him, he may decide to work harder than he has this season to force his way into our starting 13.



b) He deserves all the sh*t he gets. Going on loan was meant to assist his development as a Salford player, yet his head has been turned after 4 months of good performances. After Salford have brought him through their youth system, gave him his first Super League opportunity he disrespect the fans and the club by handing in a transfer request despite having 18 months left on his contract. One summer doesn’t make a swallow, to big for his boots and we’ve signed a better player in Dobson. Let him go for the right price.

Regarding point B above, he doesn't really owe Salford anything. He has waited long enough for his chance, yet despite years at Salford the first club to give him a regular starting spot has been Cas.



However, I agree that we should let him go for the right price. We could end up with a situation where Cas end up with a Salford half back (Sneyd) whilst Salford end up with a Cas half back (Brierley).



Interesting times.

We lose at Wigan last Friday and you think our bubble has burst ? That's funny
