Am sure the wheels are in motion behind the scenes. We will be linked to every tom dick and harry .

Can't fault our new football manager there, because had we got his first choice coach snared as everyone at the club thought he had, Sneyd was not arriving on his own along with Brierley. But it's not to be and now we move to Plan B and unless they are playing a brilliant game of concealment there appears at present to be no plan B. I'd have loved Sneyd back as for me he was the player we could have rebuilt the team around.

I don't really see the point in signing Brierley.

Said a couple of weeks back I've heard we've offered him a year as a marquee. Unsure whether he will take it or not

He might do, could earn 200k for a year then retire.

Exactly what we need for a year.

I wonder if the Sneyd deal was still on the table even when Rowley turned us down.

Sneyd was a fantastic player for us. I was one of the few who used to say we will miss him . Most where glad to see the back of him. But 3 years have passed and not sure bringing back an ex player who would be 34/35 would be a good idea. One bad game and the vultures would be circling

sneyd was brilliant for us when he had a platform to work with behind a decent pack. Pretty much won us 2 x CC single headedly. Was awaesome in that wigan semi in 2016

Excellent singing, just hope there isn't a clampdown on ankle tackles
