\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Warrington Wolves playmaker Marc Sneyd has given an honest verdict on his current standing at the club amid the rise of young star Ewan Irwin.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sky Sports after a standout performance in Wire\u2019s 42-6 win over Leigh Leopards<\/a>, Sneyd was asked to describe his current role in the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to get back in the team,\u201d the 35-year-old answered with a mixture of humour, humility and honesty.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s game against Leigh was the first that he had started since early March with teenage talent Irwin playing in the Challenge Cup win over Goole Vikings, as well as the Super League games against Castleford Tigers and Leeds Rhinos.<\/p>\n

Irwin has a difficult second-half in the wind at Headingley but Sam Burgess confirmed post-match that the teen his omission was down to him suffering a \u2018bump last week\u2019<\/a>, with it unclear who would have partnered George Williams had Irwin been fit.<\/p>\n

Warrington Wolves in a \u2018fortunate position\u2019<\/p>\n

Sneyd ensured he seized the opportunity of playing time with both hands as he kicked masterfully and pulled strings in the dominant win, however, the veteran half was full of praise for Irwin.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of them, young Ewan\u2019s come in and he\u2019s done a great job, to be fair to him,\u201d Sneyd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t fault him. He\u2019s not looked out of place at all but obviously I want to be playing as well, so it\u2019s one of them, it\u2019s up to Sam who plays them games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going forward, Burgess will have a headache but it\u2019s certainly a good one to have, as Sneyd noted: \u201cWhether it\u2019s me or Ewan, we\u2019ll be giving our best, won\u2019t we? I think we\u2019re in a pretty fortunate position at the minute in that sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhichever one of us is playing, we\u2019ll do our best for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Put to him that Irwin could have few better masters to learn from, Sneyd was humble once again as he responded:\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s got George there as well so he\u2019s got a couple that he can ask questions to if he wants.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a really good young man, he\u2019s pretty level-headed, pretty grounded, so he\u2019s got a big future, definitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on Sam Burgess\u2019 teamsheet for this week\u2019s Challenge Cup clash against Leigh Leopards to see which half gets the nod.<\/p>\n
