wish we could have got this bloke on loan..seems his face doesn't fit in with wakefield....i think he'd have done a good job for us ....good playmaker and works hard...can't be any worse than what weve got now....i think he's wasted at wakey!

I mentioned Samutt last season and early this season, he is a bit of a maverick similar to Longy plays off the cuff attacking rugby with a dodgy defence.
Always has a big influence on a game scores plenty of trys and goals and is fairly durable.

I really don't see what the big thing is about him? He's just a bob average player IMO.

He'd fit in with that sort of player Brown says he's looking for. He can play 6, 7 and 9. He'd certainly be good to have at this time and certainly better than Tommy Lee.

he could do a job part time, from what ive seen of him he's not a great defender . Why Wakey want shut is a worry too.

He's better than what we have at the moment to fill in

So would i, he could cover a few positions but would make a good stand off with walsh freeing Lance to sub Roby

People were mentioning him prior to this season starting tho so to a lot he's not a last resort. He's not a good enough player to play for us.

True, we can't be too picky at the minute (we can't bring in anyone anyway) but I hate this mentality of wanting to bring some average bloke in because he is a last resort.

I don't think there's any point in talking about Sammutt. It's past the player registration deadline, so we can't sign anyone for the rest of the season, and I think this season has confirmed that he isn't good enough as a long term option.

Better than doing nothing like McManus does. The degredation of the squad is not showing any signs of stopping next season, despite the signing of Walsh last year being heralded as an awaking from our slumber.

It hasn't just been Walsh though has it? It's been Walsh, Manu, Amor, Walmsley, Masoe . . . . We all said we needed scrum half and props, we got scrum half and props. In fact, I'd say our weakest areas have gone to being our strongest - the best 7 and pack in SL in my opinion when all are fit.

We have brought in players of sufficient quality to take us to the top of SL; do you really think the squad has got worse or are you just throwing around ill informed knee-jerk opinion as per?

Saddened has been registered since 2003 and has been talking about our rapid decline since then. If we had been rapidly declining since 2003 we would be in Championship One by now. As it happens we're top of Super League (that's not to say that everything is rosy - I realise that it isn't).

As you point out, our signings over the last two years have been good (with the possible/probable exception of our gambles on Beaumont and Dawson - although time will tell on that score). For me the thing that has really held the club back isn't a reluctance to sign players, but rather an eagerness to sign instant replacements for departing players - particularly Graham and Eastmond - whether they are suited to the role or not. Royce's panic buying of Boof and Hohaia solved no problems in the halves or the front row, but maxed out our salary cap and quota allowance, massively restricting our options for two years. So I'd rather see us hanging on for the right player than signing players that can't nail down a spot at Bradford or Wakefield.

Apart from being absolutely , he is one of the weakest defenders in SL, does being an overseas player automatically mean he is amazing ?

The squad is much worse as every team in superleague.

Cayless, Cunningham, Graham against Amor, Roby, Walmsley for instance, also add for all these years we,ve never replaced the quality.of Longy, Martyn and Sculthorpe.
