Thats the rumour, don't know whether its right or not

and to be fair we had the only true quality british scrum half at the club a year ago.............!

does my head in this britfest amongst some of our fans, most NRL reserves are better than SL standard, and at this point we need results, or no fans.....no club, new owner or not, anyone find that hard to comprehend???

Yeah and we've managed to find very few over the years, we've signed some real second rate dross and wasted oooooodles of cash doing so.

If we could find a Sammut then fair enough.

The problem with overseas players is that you can be waiting months for the visas to be sorted unless that has been going on in the background and if they aint being playing then they are going to take a few weeks at least to be ready for SL.

Why couldn't we have found him last year, when he was available and we'd just sold the best British SH in SL??

Like chapster said the reserve nrl standard is still higher than most British or certainly available British halves.
Not sure where sammut played his rugby, in the reserves? Or lower leagues? Certainly not saying we shouldn't look at British but weve got to get real and realise we need someone, and smartish.

Because we did not have any money maybe.

Cos Kear though Cooke was the answer!!

Al we found the money to sign Cooke and Leano

me!
me!
i know!!
it was something to do with a deal done for an ex hull and hkr player


who now is available, but if anyone goes and gets him, im supporting dewsbury!

So we sign another Jeffries then, understand the idea of getting someone special to sparks us but they are few and far between and who would want to come to old Wakey.

And i won't agree with Chappy on principle

Amen to that.

Fair point alan, and well made!

Hypocrite!!!

Depends on the winds direction.

That's the level of consistency you can only find on RLFANS!!!

Or from referees!

He is probably better than owt you have at minute foir starters

Maybe thats all we could afford, and the only player daft enough to come.

How much money has AG to spend on players

4 Million, give or take



No idea, we can only hope he can add to the squad.

Is English your natural language?

how are the youngsters coming along.have we got a sam tompkins up our sleeves eg how is matty wildie doing?

Precisely; Cooke was rumoured to be on 80k+ and Leano would have taken that well over 100k. If Sammut is on more than that at Crusaders, I'll eat my hat.

There was also the chance last season to go in for Matty Smith and Stefan Ratchford, neither of whom will be demanding big wages yet.

You've got to look to JK I'm afraid; his obsession with former Hull players and crocked old-stagers blinds him to more creative recruitment options.

I do not think Charlie was on as large a salary as you think. Re Crusaders would love to see what their wage bill is compared to ours !
