ROOKIE Kangaroo prop Kade Snowden admits he will struggle to say no to Wayne Bennett if Newcastle, as expected, make him an offer to return home next season.

The Cronulla Sharks yesterday prop broke his silence on one of the season's big controversies after he was rushed into the Australian squad for Friday night's Test against New Zealand.

Kade Snowden will start off the bench after Canberra's David Shillington was ruled out yesterday with a pectoral injury.

When asked if his ambitions for success at club level could be achieved playing at Cronulla, Snowden replied: "I'm not really sure. It would be more of a chance at Newcastle than at Cronulla.

"I would love to go home just to be around the family and I love Cronulla. So whatever I choose I will be happy. Cronulla have done the right thing by me since I moved here. I hope to get it done by the next couple of weeks. I just want to get it out of the way." I have got an idea but I just don't want to say too much."

Snowden admits he is expecting to meet with Bennett in the coming days to talk about his future with the incoming Knights coach.

"I think we will sit down with him over the next week and talk about a few things," he said.

But before then he has a Test match debut to attend to after the 24-year-old’s dramatic call-up.

Snowden was actually in camp with the Country team in Sydney when coach Laurie Daley broke the news to him at breakfast.

The first call he made was to his folks Chris and Lisa at home in Newcastle.

"I said to Dad I’m just on my way to the Gold Coast and he said I thought it was in Albury?

"And I said no I just got called up for the Australian side.

"They were over the moon."

Reading that you'd have to think "That's all folks".

I'd say so too. Hopefully we don't put in an outrageous offer for him to stay.

As the season slips away, maybe time to give some others a go.

Another player suggesting we are no chance at success...

... And the club slowly dies that little bit more.

f**k him. I'd rather watch a team lose for ten years than be privatised.

You have to hope Newcastle fans enjoyed voting for the takeover - because that's the last vote they will ever get.

And when fat bouy carks it, or when the world realises coal is a dying fuel, the asset can be sold to someone other ego maniac like Bill Carrallis, John Singleton, Gerry Harvey, John Ribot De Bresac, Russell Crowe or Gina Hancock....

Just sh1ts me Rexxy.
We pickup a guy that gets booted by his former club.
We develop him into one of best front rowers in the game
He plays origin, now test footy.
Some fat merkin buys his old club and throws the farm at him to "bring a local boy home"

I'm farkin over it.

Nice guys finish last. Things haven't changed. It still seems we're everybody's doormat. :crazy:
If the development is a goer, then hopefully we can stumble through current times. If not, just tell us. Honesty is the best policy.

If you lose both those bookends then your front office is an absolute disgrace. They are your second and third best players at the club after the grub.

We're happy to help you with Jon Green and David Gower, but hands off Cuthbo he's a representative player now.

Honestly i'd much prefer to lose Douglas than say Gardner.

Douglas is a hard worker, plays decent minutes, never gets injured. Which are great qualities.

However, he also never breaks the line, rarely provides a decent offload and doesn't exactly set the world on fire.

He is a very solid first grade player... i wouldn't say much more than that.

If that's the indicator of our 2nd or 3rd best player, then we have very serious problems.

Douglas and Snowden can both point to various external reasons to leave the club but if good u/20 players start leaving, especially those that are local juniors, then something really stinks, probably rotting fish.
