Let's face it. If he joined he'd be better than our last halfback.

He has his faults but beggars can'tbe choosers.

Best not to accuse him of being 'off the cuff'! That was suggested to both Paul Rowley and Rangi Chase in interviews for LCTV, about Chase's signing. They both came up with the same answer of him always playing 'within a structure' and being allowed to express himself within that structure. Chase, in particular, wasn't amused at being called an 'off the cuff' player!

Well that would make sense as I don't think that he's been able to drive since his wrist operations so getting to Workington wouldn't be possible. That would also explain why he has been training locally on his own (hill running and possibly Tong school).

faux pas is maybe another matter...

Last I heard was Phil Vievers say he was confident of keeping Sammut at Workington but as of mid November he hadn't signed for the club. Surely if he'd signed for next season this would be big news and Workington would be keen to publicise it. If only Jarrod would give us an idea and put an end to the speculation....as a Bulls fan I'd love to see him back at the club, but I guess we can only wait and see....

If he's had both his wrists operated on, perhaps he is currently physically incapable of signing anything?

Another way of looking at it is that perhaps Jimmy has had a reality check in that we are not as good as he thought

I'm certain Jimmy knows the pros and cons of the squad, but brainfart after the last game excepted, he generally plays a straight bat and keeps to the company line with his comments. At the end of the day, the big challenge right now is selling memberships and that means saying how well everything is progressing and what a great squad we've amassed etc etc.

Add in that he can't comment on any ongoing, or not finalised deals, for fear of losing them at the last minute - plus they probably [well, I hope.. want another big spur to sales, and despite what others have said previously, Sunday - collection day- would be an ideal time.

It seems to have gone quiet on Godinet. I am not sure who I would prefer. Godinet would possibly be a player who sticks to a game plan and can guide a team whereas Sammut can be unpredictable for a SH. Having both would be nice with Godinet on the bench for interchange. I haven't heard if Godinet has signed for anyone. If not, it is strange that two decent halves are currently without a club and effectively unpaid. I just can't see that so they both must be lined up somewhere and just waiting for announcements to help ST sales - but that must be soon to help with Christmas ST sales.
I expect an announcement any day now. If nothing before Christmas I and many more will be disappointed.
Leigh could be a stronger force next year and it could be very hard to get that £1m spot again. If they are, we might be better than this year and still not get that play off spot. If we could afford it I would sign both Sammut and Godinet as the rest of the team looks decent if we keep Mullaney and Nielsen?

Id forgotten about the Mullaney rumour, all seems to have gone quiet on his rumoured departure!

And yet I was told the other day that he's not involved in pre season training.

Haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the person that told me doesn't usually get things wrong.

Maybe just that he's coming back from Oz later than others, or it may be there's something to those rumours.

Wasn't mullaney supposed to be having surgery to sort his hamstrings out?. Sure they said something about identifying an underlying issue which was causing his ongoing issues and it would be addressed by in off season. If that's happened then surely he'd still be recovering and not able to take part in pre-season. Guess time will tell.
