It looks like Salford are ready to splash the cash with a £650k offer for Sonny Bill Williams: www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ny-5712810 It also mentions Noble is keen on Sammut at the bottom of the article. I have to be honest, if Sammut goes, I can see us getting silly money for him.

I would put Kearney back at 6, he drops too many balls and misses too many tackles for FB IMHO Unfortunately Cummins would put Foster at full back rather than Kear. I don't know whether it's me, but i would rather my FB can catch a high ball and tackle rather than this "chime into the line" coaches seem obsessed with.

Kear would make every good FB IMO and i would like Kearney at 6

Likewise gale seems to be at his best when partnered with addy. For some reason sammut and gale just don't seem to click together.

That's crazy, does he think he will come over and give 2 stuffs, he will be here for a year get paid loads nd go home could see that biting salford in the backside they may buy a lot of players but they will be mercenaries there for a quick buck. Why would SBW play for them I dare say he has never heard of salford before, he won't do a job for them they will have to be extremely careful, I could see them fighting relegation next year, if they sign journey men who arnt there for the pride in the shirt.

Sammut to Salford,Kearney to stand off,Brett Hodgson to full back

That a wish list or based on something more concrete? I guess there is the rumours of Gaskell to come into the squad in 2014. Competition for places or a straight replacement for Jarrod.

I still think BK is better at FB, he can slot into stand off without problem but I still think he is more dangerous from FB.

I saw the look on Sammuts face on Friday night at Salford when he was asked a very direct question

I know where I think he will be playing next season

LOL I don't think i have ever heard SBW called a Journeyman before! Priceless

There's as much chance of SBW signing for Salford as there is of Eric Pickles replacing Sammutt.




Mind you, maybe as an impact prop ...

Apparently SBW is a massive Smiths fan.

Not what i meant just meant to say, hope they don't sign a lot of players who are there to make a quick buck, what happens when those star players leave after their 1 season at the Reds, i just hope they have plans in place for future development as i wouldn't like to see them paying for it in future years.

What, is he going to make half the team redundant, declare he'd hate to live in Yorkshire again and then bugger off to Essex?

Stevo said last week that Luke Dorn has signed for a west yorkshire club. Not many of them need a half back or full back I would suspect.

Cas is West Yorkshire club in question.

I spoke to Sammut on Sunday the poor guy was very nervous during the game he loves the Bulls and does want to stay but if the Gaskell signing comes off it leaves him playing second choice with more chance to play at Salford

He was in last week (before Salford game) to find out where he stands in fc plans didn't look too happy after the meeting hope he stays he won us more games than he's lost us and an all round top guy.

I would be surprised if a fully fit, fully committed Jarrod Sammut would play second fiddle to Lee Gaskell, even in Franny's eyes!

It makes me wonder if he's trying to justify a move elsewhere? I'm with you though, we need to keep him. Injuries this year have shown why we need another player to play 6 or 7, as Gale and Sammut struggle to stay fit for an entire season.

Yeah maybe your right davey not really watched Gaskell to comment on his ability over Sammut, but competition for spots are always better for the team guess we'll
have to wait and see I hope he stays

Nobody should be guaranteed a starting spot in our squad and hopefully in 2014 we will have enough numbers to make sure that happens. I'd like to see Sammut stay at the club because he does bring some excitement when he is on form but equally he can leave me pulling my hair out when he comes up when a ridiculous play when we least need it.

When Sammut is on form he is one of the best in the league when if he has an off day he can be a major liability, but i cant see gaskell outing him from number 1 spot though.

Well if we keep Addy we will have plenty of cover for 6/7 with Gale, Sammut, Kearney, Gaskell and Addy. Gaskell would just slot into Centre if and when he is need i would think.

From what I've heard it's Nobby that has told him Gaskell will be first choice, probably to unsettle him. According to another 'Lancashire' player Cummins has not told Gaskell anything of the sort, just that he will be in the squad along with everyone else.

This is probably all down to Nobby trying to spend the money he is being given. He may be going around unsettling players that he wants. Nobody has a god given right for a guaranteed starting spot ina team. You are only as good as your last game and Sammut has been fairly poor. He is brilliant at times but he is poor more times than brilliant. This is a tricky one. Do we keep someone who is hot and cold or do we try and find someone who is consistently good. I like it when Sammut comes off the bench but he can be awfully frustrating and is a maveric rather than a team leader. Tough decision for Franny if Nobby is trying to tempt him away.

the thing is though obviously Nobby knows he's a maverick, like we all do, and probably much better than most. Nobby is a great coach and if he really is after Sammut then that means Nobby doesn't mind signing the maverick that is Sammut, and can't within reason think of anyone better. Is that someone we should be losing? Wysiwyg with Sammut, I personally think during the time he has been here the brilliant and unbelievable things he has done more than compensate for his bad days. Personally I'd much rather have that than a dull but steady alternative.

There was much talk last year and before of Leon Pryce coming back. WTF does he do for most of the time? Sammut has at least 10 flashes of brilliance for every 1 of Leon's, yet many were keen to see Leon back. Don't get me wrong, at the right money I would be in favour of signing Leon if he was available and if we had a vacancy, but would say Sammut offers much more.

I'm not one for jinxes, it's interesting to note Sammut has 16 tries for the SL season (Kearney has 15). 18 tries would make either of them the highest Bulls try scorer since Vainikolo in 2005 with 25.

(2006; Hape, 17. 2007; Vainikolo, 16. 2008; Tadulala, 17. 2009; Tadulala, 13. 2010; Kearney, 11. 2011; Royston, 10. 2012; Kearney, 15.)

i got told he was going to leeds but if he signs for bradford it will be to play hb

Signs for Bradford? He doesn't need to sign anything to stay here, his current contract runs to the end of 2014.
