I can't see the point in forcing a player to stay when he doesn't want to. More so if he isn't first choice in his chosen position.

None of us really knows the conversations, real or imagined, between Sneyd and the club's management, so any inferences that the lad has been dishonest are nonsense.

I saw his quality a couple of years ago and offered that, to me, he was the closest I'd seen to Shaun Edwards for some time. Others disagreed. Apparently some big names might be interested, so I may not have been so daft afterall!

If he wants to go, let him. There is no value in making a player do something he doesn't want to do. But at the right price. And that is nothing to do with the value of his contract. It has everything to do with his perceived worth.

So far as Alan Hunte is concerned, if Salford achieve Sneyd's worth, he will have done his job. And should be congratulated on that. He also has others who have the potential, but SRD are not a club to experiment with their youth in the way that others have.

Wigan turned out what appears to have been a superb performance tonight with a massive youthful contingent. SRD have some equally talented lads in A Walne, J Walne, Owen, Davidson, Ford and Tyson, to name some, who are capable, together with the other youngsters, Evalds and Fages, of emulating the Wigan kids, given the chance.

Not wishing any ills on the lad ,but if he was to pick up a lengthy injury , would we be responsible for his rehab still .

I think the quote from the Doc on the BBC last night was telling, he said that Hull paid more for Sneyd than he himself would have paid and that the fee was more than £100,000.

Pretty obvious based on this that we got a brilliant deal for him.

Yes, as he is still a Salford contracted player.

Is it not different for a season long loan?

I'm not sure this is a big issue.
He's currently on a relatively small contract and I would guess Cas are fully responsible because , as Red Willow rightly says, it'll be different when it's a season long loan.
If there is a problem,it would come if he was injured and not fit enough to start the season with Hull.
We could speculate all day but it really depends what the transfer documents say
