Sadly not staying so who is to play scrum half? Meadows? Or do we try and sign someone?

I assume we'll need to make signings.

Not a chance!

Need to sign a top class 7.
Hopefully Drinkwater

Is he top class??

Not sure Drinkwater would be the answer even if available. Are there any 7’s available?

He's the best we can hope for in my opinion.

Good luck Jarrod in whatever you do. Pity to lose you. It’ll be a long winter in finding the replacement.

I didn't really rate him during his season at Leigh, but he proved a real eye-opener at Catalans. I suspect this was down to how he was allowed to play.

What has changed since he played for us in 2014 (a season best forgotten) ?

Exactly, he was rescued from some backfield Aussie league by a desperate Catalans side and now has been cast aside again(even Leigh didn't want him!). Why would we want him??

When he signed for Catalan, he was working on a building site.

Drinkwater certainly came on well at Catalan, but I am still not totally convinced, but he might be worth a one year contract? ? Not sure how much he would cost?

HKR posters aim he's looking for £150k a year..... No ta

Not worth it

It'll be Cunningham in the halves with Abdul with Pelissier & Fozzad at hooker as things stand.

I'd guess we'll sign a loanee from Saints or Wigan, not sure who their half-back reserves are off the top of my head.

Wigan have Shorrocks & Woods in the first team squad, with Harry Smith in the U19s, but a bit early for him. Possibly Woods as Shorrocks has been tipped as someone Lam wants to see more of.

Good interview with Sammut on[url=http://www.totalrl.com/what-next-for-jarrod-sammut-breaks-silence-on-london-exit/Total RL[/url. Sounds like a difficult decision for him to leave.

Good article and good luck to him, has been a real star these last couple of years. A real pity and a big loss..........

Family is always #1, so good on him, although I'm still unsure as to why when he says they (the wife and kids) moved north in June, he was prepared to sign with us in November, only for the last minute change of heart.
Still, all the best JS........you got us to SL with your brothers and nothing will ever change that!

It is frustrating for him to leave, but he has to do what is best for him and his family. I am sure we all wish the best for him and thank him for all that he did for us.

So he has joined the Wigan Warriors.

Ackers mark 2? It did not take long for him to agree a deal after his leaving announcement.

So is there someone Lam does not like at Wigan ? Or is Sammut going as backup ?

Why ackers mk2
His family are back up in York’s, he was out of contract.
Why such a shock that he has signed for someone!? If you are coming to the end of a contract don’t you start talking to new employers before the end date.
Good on him.

I agree this is not like Ackers but Sammut himself said he had agreed a deal with LB (but presumably not signed) and had even gone back into training. However, he's obviously had several offers on the table and chosen one which is closer to his family.

Don’t think he fancied being away from his family! And no one can blame him for that, especially with kids! Think the fact that london left contract discussion so late didn’t help, they didn’t start talking until Oct
