Looking at Twitter you would think they had signed Nathan Cleary.

Id say on recent form he is a poor signing, if he can replicate his firm from 16/17 then he would be a good signing, won't have that pack he had at Hull to work with though.

Not me I've been on here a few times in the last few years saying how average Sneyd was and you were getting our then fourth choice halfback as your main man, that never went down too well.

As it's stands now I think we are getting a guy who to be fair probably has the best kicking game in the comp who other than that offers little with ball in hand, just hope he does the kicking well and Brodie Croft runs the show.

As a side if the choice was Sneyd or wiggy from Leeds then thanks Hull.

Gale if fit is better than Sneyd, Gale had a good season in 2020, Sneyd hasn't played well consistently since 2017. We have had his best years when he played with our outstanding pack in those cup years wins, but without that type of pack he is average.

His kicking isn't as good as people think either, was poor last year, he will set up some trys with kicks, but that's because that was our only option in many games.

I'm not going to argue who's the best because I think there both pretty average, but I think you'll be holding your breath when your half backs get tackled as both are made from digestives, we'll see what happens.

If it happens then we have two young lads to fill it, which will be a great long term benefit.

Advantage of investing in am academy I suppose.

Agree with you about his kicking. A lot of the trys he set up with kicks when attacking the opponents line I feel was more to do with how good Connor is in the air. I appreciate Sneyd has to put the kick in the right spot to begin with, and he was good at that, but any half in the league worth their pay cheque should be able to do that from close range. Sneyd's kicks wouldn't be half as effective if it wasn't Connor they were going to. Even Swift is very good in the air for a smaller guy.

Who are the two young lads to fill it and please don't say macnamara and hookam

Sneyds kicking out of hand was awful, 90 percent of the time going straight to the fullback, always seemed to be Connor who got the 40/20s or put more effective kicks in

I'm sure he didn't mean those 2. I think he meant McNamara and Hookem

Well that's ok then

I think (hope) there's an element of the club doing the right thing by Sneyd. I don't think he was in our plans beyond next year and with Salford offering him some security we haven't stood in his way and I think that's probably a good move for everyone involved. I think Gale will go alright for us but I see him as a stop gap signing before we bring in a big name next year.

I'm told that we have an aussie half back lined up, but he cannot be here until 2023.
I don't have any name who it is.

Any lists of aussie half backs out of contract 2023?

Well we can dream , can't we? Any one of them would do, but there's no chance of any of them coming over, Drinkwater has done his reputation the power of good last season and Brooks is a wanted man, according to the Aussie television. That's not to say we won't sign an overseas half , but it may well be of the Lovodua type, promising but not yet established. I'd go for a kiwi, if there any available, we have always had good value from them and they seem to settle much easier.
I honestly didn't see anything during games that says Mcnamara will cut it at SL level, I hope I am wrong and he must have something about him, everyone seems to be impressed, so maybe it is just a case of him growing into the role , but I seriously doubt we have a star in the making.

When does Mason Linos contract end?

Albo

Not sure but think he signed a new deal at wakey towards the end of the season

A kid called Jock Madden is ooc at the end of next season. Done well in the nsw cup for the Magpies the last few seasons.

Hodgson will know him from his time at Wests, but thunk we'd be lucky to get him too.

We'll pick up someone on the fringes of an NRL team in their mid 20s. A decent aussie reserve grade player.

I've been told it is a British half back. Out of contract end of 2022. Done deal I'm told. We'll see.

Jake Trueman?

Yep. That’s who I got told we’d signed.

R.B.A will be right. He seems to have the inside track at Cas.
