I actually agreed with Schoefield too. Obviously not a popular choice on here.
Ironically his only good alround game came after that.
If we saw that Sneyd week in week out he'd be a cracking player.
As it is with him, it's peaks and troughs and the predictable 5th tackle kick.

if sneyd hadn't played at Wembley,we would still be hearing that dreaded chant from opposing fans.

Well we'll never know that for sure will we?
And again another game where he was non existent for 70 mins.
I'm grateful for the fact we won but come on he can't dine out on that forever.

You are having a laugh if you think Houghton has a better kicking game, Sneyd can put it on a sixpence the only kicking Jake does is last tackle boots upfield I can't recall a try coming off a kick from him or a 40/20 ( I ain't seen away games apart from TV so if I'm wrong I'll stand corrected )

You either,

You do not attend

You go for a wee frequently and miss a lot of the game

Or simply do not like Sneyd

?

From Fridat alone, I am thinking you missed the rubber which Houghton should have been given a try for (pulled back for a penalty for us)

The countless long kicks which split the defenders

The frequent 40/20s

Oh I attend, and I don't dislike Sneyd, just of the opinion that Connor/Kelly is a better partnership. Hope Sneyd proves me wrong at Doncaster. (be intrigued how many 40/20's class as frequent)

Could it be that Sneyd has looked bang average all season and a lot of last season not all down to him no engaging the defence. But that we lack even one option (don't like the term dummy runner), they just wait for the pass to be given by him, that it's not all down to Sneyd. Look at Fridays game, we were complete garbage in attack. We didn't seem to have any set plays barring one from a scrum that looked good but was slow and didn't gain us any decent metres.
The one thing that did annoy me with Sneyd was after the first two or three failed kicks to our right side, why did he think it was a good idea to keep trying this for another two attempts?

Connor kick to the corner try away at Salford is 1 comparing how many times he's played in the halfs.
Houghton is not a better kicker I agree.

Agree, add that our forwards rarely hit the line at full pelt, not all Sneyd's fault. The last 4 games we've lacked direction and leadership in attack.

I think people are getting a liitle over excited by the kelly/connor partnership in my opinion, certainly wasn't as stand out as some are making out, the cc is the only one that stands out for me, if the team is playing well and snyed is still playing poor, thats when id give the connor/kelly combo an extended run. But no way as our poor attack been solely down to snyed these last few games

really cannot understand why people are on sneyds back.. yes he may have a poor game now and again, who doesn't? im a big fan of connor he is great cover for when sneyd or kelly aren't available, but IMO kelly and sneyd start.

This is brilliant to be having a discussion about ours best 2 half-backs out of 3 above average options. 10 years battling to Keep our 1 half on field to give us a chance of competing?

Is a dream situation. 2 mavericks and a structured organiser with a world class short kicking and conversion game. Sneyd just still gets the nod but unlike last year connor right on his tail so he had got to get back to 90% at semi to stay in.

I have a feeling we ate going to turn up this weekend and actually play to potential with 80% complétion levels whoch will mean rhinos will finally get their s spanked by us.

I was so close to booking a flight over couple of days fou semi but saving trip for finals

Coyh

yep happy to say got that right...... we turned up and leeds got spanked. top errors free performance at 80%plus completion with moments of magic from kelly and sneyd top level.... just one unnecessary bullet pass to tally blew try.

pack well on top and if we play at that level in final can t see wigan or salford having a hope !

annual trips to wembley on cards.

how long can radders be a massively successful coach of a top 4 club ?... still some improvement to come and needs to find replacement for ellis and mini but the future is very bright.

booking flights for wembley

Said it a million times but Kelly or Connor can't do what Sneyd does. We rarely lose when in front when Sneyd plays.

Kelly and Connor are good together but there not a long term option because in close games it won't work. They don't have the game management skills in them. Yesterday if we went with Kelly and Connor we wouldn't have got the drop goal that effectively killed the game and Tom Briscoe probably wouldn't have been destroyed.

Sneyd and Kelly is the best and most sensible combination as your getting the best of both worlds. Kelly and Connor are good which is a nice back up option but shouldn't be first choice.

Question pretty much answered yesterday

Sneyd played really well yesterday, proved he can do it, consistently doing it would get him an England place.

And put to bed. Until last year a winning Hull FC player had never won the Lance Todd. Sneyd has back to back outright Lance Todds, a feat not achieved before in the competition. I really like Connor and he's a very important player for our squad, but Sneyd is our starting 7 for me.

Absolutely.

Sneyd is our first choice number seven, he has been key to us winning back to back Challenge Cups.

Some people were getting a bit excited after a couple of decent games with Connor/Kelly at half back.

Big game player

A well deserved Lance Todd winner again. His contributions to the game were the most telling; his inch perfect kicks leading to our tries, that 40-20 & he managed the game perfectly. Then there's his perfect conversion rate.

It's for these reasons that Wigan missed Matty Smith yesterday.

Sneyd and Kelly compliment eachother perfectly. Hopefully a partnership for years to come.

You don't win the lance Todd trophy 2years on the trot if you're rubbish.

Hahahahaha snyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddd, some really clueless people on here

You were saying ...
Sneyd gave a masterclass in kicking, Connor is nowhere near that standard and hasn't shown himself to be this season as good as he's done, he's great in other stuff but for what was needed yesterday only Sneyd could do what he did, that 40-20 right on their line was epic.
