Over Jarrod Sammut please.

We aint a big enough club to be dropping players of his ability. Will we offload him back to Bradford if he's not good enough !! Doubt it !!

Paid 50K plus for him and now hes not selected.

Can accept this if he's got the wrong attitude, breach of discipline etc which I'm assuming must be the case.

Is he going to Fev or what ? no statements ??

What the heck is going on

He hasn't been performing, end of.

Deep breath Jose, Deep breaths!!

Although I've always liked Sammut as a player, with Smith arriving and picking up where he left, we don't appear to need Sammut as well.
We had too many halves as it was and with Smith coming available, something had to give.

If he was still here, where would you play him ?

We paid 50k+ for him?
Really??

No we didn't pay any fee, maybe something he`s made up in his head to make the club sound worse in this situation.

For me it`s simple, Webster believes that the current options are better choices and that is why he is not been selected.

What's the big deal, jeez get over yourself. Since when was the club obliged to discuss it's selection policies with fans on a forum, come off it. You may or may not think it's a bad decision and you're entitled to discuss it it on here as much as you like - Webster and Carter most definitely don't have to,

Incredible outburst over bog standard club business to be honest.

I think I'm right in saying that most top sides have a quality 6 and 7 ? Sykes and Smith work really well together - I get that, but for one, Smith is still very much a loanie player all though I'm also over the moon he's back.

Get Sammut back at full back as a third play option - it would be a great option supporting the line. You could even have Sykes and Summut swapping between roles in attack and defence.

Don't ask me about Mathers - Sammut is a better player, though personally id have Smith and Sammut 6n7 with Sykes and Mathers fighting it out for full back. Even play Sykes in the centres, he's a good defender and has good centre play.

I suppose this is all irrelevant really - if he's breached club policy then rant over - very silly on his part.

Webster hasn't picked Sammut for the last 2 games and we have won the last 2 games, what is the OP's problem?

Fair enough but it's simple ....

Sammut has just not been dropped has he ?

They are not denying or confirming selection policy or disciplinary issues on his part. Said he was injured against London when he was fit to play.

Even the Fev deal going round a few days hasn't been dealt with.

Make a statement - End of matter.

That is correct but that is not my issue !!

Maybe there isn't a statement to make just yet, but I'm personally not that bothered.

Well what is your issue then?

Surely you cant expect an announcement as to why every player gets dropped?

I'm not one that particularly wants a club statement,I'm not really interested why he's been dropped, that's down to the coach, i'm more intrigued as to why the club say he's injured when by his own admittance he isn't, and why is he immediately shipped out? Are Fev paying a portion of his wages? Was this done to offset the cost of Tim Smith coming back?

I must admit i expected J S at 6 when Smith came back, and I still think that may be an option. Dont know the reason for his none selection, but I dont need to know. I suspect its behind the seen, and something that doesnt need to be made public. I think we need to trust the club .

This time last year, quite a few people were saying if Rangi got sold by Cas, they would be relegation fodder.
We blasted Agar for trying to shoehorn people into positions, because he had over complicated things.
Webster seems to be his own man with his own ideas of what works best for the team.
As has been mentioned, we have won the last 2 without him or would you rather had him play and us lose?

I'm happy that we are playing as "a Team" and with some real spirit and determination for the first time in a long time.

If that is because Agar is gone, because Sammutt is not playing, because Smith is back, quite frankly I don't care which it is as long as it continues.

I can't say I would want to change it after last Sunday if Sammutt was available so what's the big deal?

Mathers had his best game for ages at Fullback so not really an option to put him there.
Sykes was probably MOTM at Stand Off so not going to put him there.

Webster has won two from two which vindicates his selections' and at the moment there is no room for Sammutt, in the team, which leaves 3 options', sell him, either leave him kicking his heels' by just training or send him to Fev where he can get some game time whereby if we need him back, he will ready to play, can't see why a statement from the club is needed really no other club does so why should ours', I'm sure the terms' he has gone to Fev will suit us, a good bit of business really.

Smith returns as Salford are unhappy with his form playing with an 'off the cuff' partner, yet people want to waste this opportunity by playing him with another 'mercurial' half, instead of a 'steady' half where he calls the shots.

Maybe, just maybe, one person at the club tried to mitigate the situation by foolishly giving JS an injury to ease being dropped, which JS wasn't happy with.
IMO this does not call for a club staement, but a word with the social media operator to only post facts might be an idea.

Personally, I think trying to cover the lack of tackling from both TS and JS would be big ask, we can't have 2 weak(er) flanks.

I'd play Sammut at full back. although Mathers has been doing ok Sammut has real pace if put through a gap and out wide in a bit of space would be a greater threat. Sounds like he's off to Featherstone next season... www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... e/?ref=rss

If Sammut goes and we bring in a few more I am all for it. However I would also keep him if thats what we plan to do and build on next season.

I find this quite amazing you demand a statement for what, a player being sent on loan something which many of you have clambered for on more than one occasion for various members of the squad. The league no longer runs A teams and therefore this is the only option available to the club to keep a player match fit.
Sammut will get his chance because of injury to others or loss of form he will just need to be patient. We are quite lucky to be in this position after the pre season so in conclusion a club statement is not required for this or any similar situations.

Let's not bag a Trinity player who is not in the 17.

He has some fantastic skill and pace which he has proven over the last few years elsewhere and it's great that he is wearing the red white and blue. Hope we can fit him in the 17 when Webster decides the time is ready.

Just out of interest, has there been any official confirmation about JS going to Fev, either in a dual reg/loan deal?
I would of thought if this was a done deal and the way the Fev like to shout about everything lately, then there would have been something on their website.
Also am I right in thinking that non-fed players can't be dual registered but can go on loan, or have the rules change on that as well


Not even JS has said he's gone to Fev on his twitter, but has been openly stating things about his "non" injury
