Now we all know that isn't true. Wasn't he on a season long loan with you guys? He started like a house on fire but was dropped for poor performances towards the end of the season and didn't even make your team for the cup semi or final iirc. So clearly not gone backwards due to being at Hull.

Hides for five tackles then pops up to kick it.

dear oh dear, yes he didn't have a good game tonight but he wasn't alone, the guy has won 2 MOM at Wembley the only bloke to get MOM in all the rounds before a final, led us around the park the last few years, been good the last 3 matches to boot, i do wonder what some of you expect

You are partly correct, he was part of the deal when Rangi went to salford and we got the then unheard of Sneyd for a 12 month loan. He was brilliant for us along with Liam Finn signed from the championship however he saved his one and only bad performance for Wembley 2014 and was hooked off at half time. ironic then that he went on to get 2 Lance Todds with you. AS I recall Koocash was wanting £100,000 for him and Powell said no thanks and got Luke Gale for free. So worked out well.

You've still won knack all unlike us and Marc Sneyd.

Sneyd had a relatively poor game but then so did the other 16 across the park. We simply didn’t look interested from the start and got what we deserved from poor performance. Sneyd can do everything and is not going to be st his best every game. The problem was although he wasn’t great no one else in the team was any better. The only points we scored came through two kicks by Sneyd. Other than that we did nothing else. So even on a poor night for Sneyd he still created something and our only points. .
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Both our halfbacks were stifled out of the game by our forwards getting out muscled all night. Sneyd didn’t play well but he wasn’t the worst. Twice in the second half we created an over lap on their left edge when we were 20 yards out, both times dummy half sent it the opposite way. Resulting in nothing. I rate both Kelly and sneyd as our half’s and when our forwards give them space to play they are up there with the best

If I’m not mistaken, Powell saw his posterior, when Koukash sold him to FC. Promtly dropping him and stating he didn’t want players, whose minds were elsewhere. Then brought him into the final squad, which rebounded on him. Uber coach, MY posterior. Like most halves, he does well behind a winning pack, I thought we would have performed better last night, neither him nor Kelly shone and both spent 10 minutes in the sin bin. Fifita really should behave himself in a better manner, appealing to the ref for a sending off belongs in football. You really do need to change your moniker!!!!

Absolutely spot on! We saw a poor team performance and a ref who allowed Wakey's big forwards to lay on at the tackle, but why single out Sneyd?
