No one on here really knows why Sneyd has put in his transfer request, but the possibility of him wanting to be a proper Cas player must be a good probability seeing as he's in a team that's in with a chance of silverware. Could he play out his season at Salford in 2015 and then basically sign on for Cas for free?

Saints have loaned players out but not brought anyone in, as have Leeds - other than that I don't think ao

I thought it was only a few.

Considering our amount of injuries it's strange but good that we haven't brought anyone in and let the youngsters have a go.

Maybe TS has faith in his youngsters, or maybe he's already got players lined up for 2015.

TS has stuck to his guns and is reaping the rewards now.

The stick he was getting from many quarters was a disgrace but thankfully it is he who makes the coaching decisions and things are turning out as he knew they would.

I am not for one minute saying we will win all before us now but the way the young lads who HE had faith in are now playing is great for us going forward.

And there are even more QUALITY youngsters coming through that will be pushing for 1st team places before too long.

Music to my Ears that Walt, Music to my Ears

Great news indeed Walter. To be fair to any doubters I seem to think that most of it was aimed at recruitment rather than the youngsters and I understand that it's difficult to balance both promotion from within, giving our youth a chance and buying in quality from elsewhere.

As a forum, we probably were a little quick to jump on the "woe is me" bandwagon with our early season form, but, also, in the past we may have been just as guilty of proclaiming that such and such a player was nailed on first team standard?

All in all it seems that we've got every reason to be optimistic long may that feeling continue
