Hull KR Sunday : Fri Jul 06, 2012 12:16 pm  

Anyone seen any squads listed yet? I suppose the immediate question is over who plays scrum half. Straight swap of Smith for Sneyd, or do we tinker and try out Holdworth and Moon in the halves or maybe Howarth and Holdsworth with Owen coming back in, or do we look long term and throw Theo in?

I think Howarth has covered okish at hooker this season, but to put him in the halfs would be criminal. I've more creativity in my big toe nail, and I also don't think we should be breaking up the Moon/Broughton Partnership as its our best attacking weapon. For me its a straight swap with Sneyd!

Holdsworth/Moon for me Anderson to centre Owen coming back, I thought about young Sneyd but he looked a little bewildered at Castleford so I would wait until later in the season to give him a couple of games.

Was that because he found out at short notice and his head wasn't right? Though that wouldn't be much different for this Sunday. He has looked fairly composed when he's stepped up in the past. At Cas and Whitehaven he played stand off with Smith at scrum half, can anyone remember if he's played scrum half with Holdsworth at 6 before?

I can't. Sneyd's partnerships have tended to be with either Smith or Ratchford.

Sneyd played up at KR last year and had a good game if I remember, nice little chip kick that was unfortunate to not score a try from. I don't remember who partnered in him the halves though!

Cheers Chief! That means he must of partnered Holdsworth as Smith would of gone to hooker when Godwin was spelled.

Not the case I don't think IIRC Sneyd was used as a hooker when he came on towards the back of last season.
