23

I'd heard we we are getting summat.

Brilliant

Hi guys, I'm not sure what position he's been playing at Cruaders, but he started life as a fullback at Penrith...and he was a pretty good one too.

He got shunted out when they unearthed Lachlan Coote, and he was on his bike soon after that.

He could be the answer if Webb is getting a bit long in the tooth.

First reaction nooooooooo way too old. He looks in his 30s, but at 23 then I'd straight have him. There is more meat on a veggys tooth pick but he still looks to be able to defend well.

At 23 I think he'd be a good signing, although I don't think it would happen. If it does though it HAS to be in his contract that he keeps his hair short, neat and tidy. Not having no Leeds player with long flowing locks.

Much better...

How much did he earn as an extra in the Sherlock Holmes movie?

Didnt know he used to be a full back which if the rumour that Webbis going to the yawnion game there could be an opening there. I have thought over the course of last season he played some good stuff and has that spark that we so badly missed last season. Agree that he needs a decent hair cut though!

If we put anyone other than BJB in as Webb's replacement when he finally goes, then you might as well kiss goodbye to any promising juniors who will then see Leeds as a club that no longer promotes youth into the first team.

I think the full back berth should go to BJB if and when Webb leaves. I can't see McDermott overlooking him to be honest.

Anyway, for me, Sammut is a half-back. He's the kind of player who you should look to get the ball to and watch what happens. Also, as aluded to by others, his defence is solid and his tackling technique textbook. He's also the kind of player who chases every half-chance, every dropped ball and he follows up his own kicks.

I know that this might end up sounding like a bit of a love-in, but what exactly do fans want? Young and English (someone like McNally)? An ageing Aussie?

Some people on here want a player with the talent of McGuire but who's willing to be brought in as cover. Not gonna happen.

Sammut would provide good cover until McGuire returns and then he would give Burrow a run for his money.

I'd have him tomorrow if the money was right.

He's exactaly the kind of player no English club should be signing.

id rather we made the best we could with Burrow, Webb, Sinfield, Clarkson, Ward, BJB/Smith and Ablett covering 1,6,7,13

Why, other than because Leeds signing another overseas player doesn't help your self-righteous argument with Hull KR fans over their development record?

If the right player is available for the right price, why should the business that is Leeds Rugby Limited give a stuff about the future prospects of England on the international stage?

Because it is in our interests as a club to do so.

I agree it's not just in the interest of international game it helps our club too!!!

So if Jonathan Thurston or Benji Marshall were available, Leeds should stick with Rob Burrow?

if they could sign Billy Slater, they would be better off keeping Brent Webb?
