As we generally play our halves split, Sneyd being on the left and whoever on the right, shouldn't we be looking for a well-rounded half that's neither one thing or the other, but does everything to a decent standard?
If our halves played predominantly as first & 2nd receiver, then we'd be looking more to halves which compliment each other (e.g. a 'running' half with an 'organising' half).

For me Sneyd although he has all he facets to his game for me he is not a player suited to a running type of game he seems more adept at organistion, calling the plays etc. Not having a suitable partner or foil if you like for Sneyd is what hampers our play at times. Ratchford is another player who has been mentioned and again would be a could player to pair with Sneyd.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Some of the posters on the wire board are not happy with Ratchford unless he's playing 6 or at centre every week. Given they have Russell, Sandow, Gidley and Patton it's debatable how badly they need him. Pure speculation but it's a rumour I like the sound of
