paulwalker71 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Did I enter a parallel universe here? I guess Salford announcing Sneyd on a three year contract was just a mirage? ** checks ** Nope, it's real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Toppy Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Sneyd never really developed the serious flaws in his game while at Hull (namely tackling, passing & running) so he relied entirely on his kicking game. When that wasn't going well in games he was a liability. Not sure Hull have done much better with Gale if its true thats where he's going. He's not had a good season since abut 2017 at Cas.

MZH Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I'm fine with us releasing Sneyd. I always liked him and some of the stick he got was undeserved. However he is limited and I think it was clear that we couldn't reach the levels we wanted to with him there. However, I just don't see what we gain from bringing in Gale. A few years ago this would have been a good signing, but he's not that player any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gale was poor and disrupted by injuries in 2021. But go back and look at that Challenge Cup semi final against Wigan last year and you'll see a player dictating things and implementing a game plan to perfection. Without Gale Leeds would not have won the cup in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Gale to Hull FC confirmed by the Rhinos. I hope we’ve got someone lined up to replace him because we’re looking light in the halves again with Lui and McLelland also gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Not disheartened at losing Sneyd although he's left us with some fabulous memories. I doubt either of the Challenge Gup wins from 2016/2017 would have happened had Sneyd not been in the mix for us. And the astonishing four kicks to win that game in Perpignan the other year was as remarkable an end to a game as I can remember. And, of course, in 2019 the touchline conversion at Headingley in front of the baying South Stand lot after the hooter had gone with the score 24-24 to give us a 24-26 victory will for ever last in my memory. A pro RL career is a short one so with Salford offering a three year deal it's a no brainer for him to move back there. As for Gale, I hope he can recreate his 2017 form but that might be asking a bit, I'll just hope that our recruitment lot know what they're doing... Hull FC....The Sons of God...
