No wish to insult you at all. I understand your desire for something positive but IMHO Sammut simply isn't it. If you can name one game in which he's played that he's shown anything like the form he showed at Crusaders and Bradford I may reconsider.

I firmly believe in the two games he played v Bradford last year he actually refused to participate - I've never seen such a wilful act in all my years - disgraceful IMHO.

Assuming you have been watching Bradford for a number of years, you will know that on a few occasions Sammut has ripped Wakefield apart (which is presumably why we signed him).
Certainly, allowing Bradford to sign him, just in time for the middle 8's would be a big mistake.
What we have to do, when our new coach is installed is draw a line under what went on under Agar and Webster and start again.
No super stars, no favourites, just those who can and want to paly under the new coach

The guy does have ability but hasn't wanted to play (quite literally at times), as Wakefield want him to, isn't going to be popular with the coaching staff.

The thing is with T Smith, he needs the right partner at Stand Off. Did we not learn that in his first stint with us when a chance pairing with Sykes suddenly unlocked the best of Smith.

Not sure that Sammut is the right partner for Smith

Nail on head Avenger Smith has to have the right half back partner and I don't think Sammut would be saying that cant be any worse than Miller.

That's it then, swop Sammut for Sykes.

Many a true word. . .

I don't think it's the answer but it would probably make us more functional than we currently are.

If and its a big IF he's willing to play properly for us - shown no signs yet. If he did he'd be a massive bonus but I'm not convinced he ever will.

I thought it would be common sense for any coach at a club like Wakefield that we need our best players on the pitch for the longest time they can be. Why Godinet spends half of it on the bench is ludicrous. He would compliment Smith at halfback as he would injext some pace and an ability to take the line on.

Another option would be to play Hall in the centre and move Lyne to the wing [where he would probably be better as he doesn't exactly feed his winger brilliantly and drop Riley. [if you're of the opinion Riley hasn't been upto it. Hall has definitely shown he can't do it at full back, that would allow us to have a look at him at centre and see how lyne and johnstone [our two quickest players go on the wing.

Some good valid points made here and It would be difficult to argue with any of your post, but I'm sure somebody will

No they won't!

(try scorer mode) Bold statement to make that, unless your vain enough to think you know what everybody is thinking.

I was wondering, possibly, that maybe he was being ironic?

I was and he knew it!

Sorry, couldn't resist, no offence mean't

None taken Chissitt, I knew where you were coming from, although it was a bit mild to be never scored a try

Read into it what you will but today I noticed that summits Twitter bio States only that he TRAINS with wakefield wildcats when it used to state PLAY FOR.

This to me suggests one of two things:1. He's making a subtle statement to the club about his lack of game time.
2. Due to whatever reason sammut will no longer play for the club and see out his contract by training only. If it is the latter he must have agreed this with the club

Back on topic:
Sammut looked the muts nuts when he came over from Aus.
I remember watching him playing at MM for crusaders having just stept off the plane and thinking "why can't we get someone like that."
Well we have and for whatever reason he doesn't get a shout.
It was rumoured that he refused to play against the Bulls last year and judging by his revolving door defence in that game, he's never bothered the team sheet too much since.
Has he "peed on the chips" of the other players as a result? I don't know.
I was gutted we didn't have that kind of player, but I'm not bothered now that we have.
Read into that what you will.

do me a favour, open the door and let him in, let him in

Maybe let him out would be more appropriate?

Good to read in the same article that MC turned down an approach for McShane. Confirms he's happy with that guys attitude.

Sammut has shown us nothing, so little in fact that I really am gob struck as to why so many supporters are so miffed, personally I think we bought him because he'd weaken the Bulls rather than strengthen us.
As for Godinet, I'm pretty sure he left his old club to come play for us because he was being used as a replacement dummy half rather than a half back, to say we'd have shot ourselves in the foot if he were to leave us for the same reason is an understatement and bordering on criminal.

so the reason Sammut not picked because hes shown us nothing . Strange that, hes in very good company.

I wouldn't argue with that at all.

What evidence do we have that he cannot bring something to the team. He did not play in the majority of our 13 losing game streak. I don't know how some on here can say get rid, surely he should be given a chance what have we got to lose.
I would think Smith would want to make his own decision about the team rather than let the Chairman decide who is or isn't required.

For my money Sammut at stand off Godinet at scrum half Young Jowitt at FB V Leeds they cant do any worse
