Not so sure about Sneyd myself.

Need to watch him more closely next time.

I have watched him for the last two seasons, everytime I have seen him he has looked good, not outstanding but good, he has exactly the skill set we need, his field (our weakest area) and goalkicking is outstanding though. He has 20 assists, 37 tackle busts and 5 trys. Defence looks a bit weak though. He is available, young and I don't see any other better option in SL or the NRL.

Its a forum for rugby, so why when I made a valid post (in which I believe I made valid points that you could have replied to) did you have to mention my punctuation (which is and will always be poor).

I'll take your word for it for now then Dave and have a closer look next time they are on TV or when they come to KC.

I do agree that there isn't much better options available though!

wasn't punctuation, basic spelling.

anyway, matters not, I'd imagine you care less for my opinion than I do for yours, we tend to move towards equals after all.

I wouldn't call typing 'halfs or halves' basic spelling.

Most people couldn't be bothered to pick up on such a thing when it is obvious what the poster is referring to.

They are on Sky the next 5 weeks and then in the CC semi, you watch him have poor games in all of them now, I have bigged him up.

Back to Leon Pryce.

Been impressed with him this season when they have been on TV.

Certainly best half back on the pitch when we played them recently.

Given we haven't got any who are fit to be labeled as half backs that's not difficult. But I digress.

I would hope that if Pryce rumours are true then he will also becoming in some kind of coaching role for the half backs at the club. I have never personally rated him highly, but you can't argue with his experience. Big game experience and plenty of miles under his belt. He may well be just what we need on the training pitch.
Long term though i sense another quick fix, which will fix nothing on the field.

that is fair enough, maybe it's a lack of attention to detail promoted by the name Dave?

matters not

we need better recruits than Pryce, I think we all agree on that

Re: rumours on twitter : Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:02 pm  

Is halfs even incorrect? Half is just short for half back and it's two half backs, not two halve backs. We are not talking about two halves making a whole one, we are talking about two players that play in the same position.

I'm no grammar expert but I would argue Standee's halves is the incorrect one.

Re: rumours on twitter : Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:17 pm  

Pryce may well have had a great season but isn't it typical of Hull to be signing a 32 year old player at the Twilight of his career.

Sneyd on the other hand would be a great signing I feel.
