Not what i meant just meant to say, hope they don't sign a lot of players who are there to make a quick buck, what happens when those star players leave after their 1 season at the Reds, i just hope they have plans in place for future development as i wouldn't like to see them paying for it in future years.

What, is he going to make half the team redundant, declare he'd hate to live in Yorkshire again and then bugger off to Essex?

Stevo said last week that Luke Dorn has signed for a west yorkshire club. Not many of them need a half back or full back I would suspect.

Cas is West Yorkshire club in question.

I spoke to Sammut on Sunday the poor guy was very nervous during the game he loves the Bulls and does want to stay but if the Gaskell signing comes off it leaves him playing second choice with more chance to play at Salford

He was in last week (before Salford game) to find out where he stands in fc plans didn't look too happy after the meeting hope he stays he won us more games than he's lost us and an all round top guy.

I would be surprised if a fully fit, fully committed Jarrod Sammut would play second fiddle to Lee Gaskell, even in Franny's eyes!

It makes me wonder if he's trying to justify a move elsewhere? I'm with you though, we need to keep him. Injuries this year have shown why we need another player to play 6 or 7, as Gale and Sammut struggle to stay fit for an entire season.

Yeah maybe your right davey not really watched Gaskell to comment on his ability over Sammut, but competition for spots are always better for the team guess we'll
have to wait and see I hope he stays

Nobody should be guaranteed a starting spot in our squad and hopefully in 2014 we will have enough numbers to make sure that happens. I'd like to see Sammut stay at the club because he does bring some excitement when he is on form but equally he can leave me pulling my hair out when he comes up when a ridiculous play when we least need it.

When Sammut is on form he is one of the best in the league when if he has an off day he can be a major liability, but i cant see gaskell outing him from number 1 spot though.

Well if we keep Addy we will have plenty of cover for 6/7 with Gale, Sammut, Kearney, Gaskell and Addy. Gaskell would just slot into Centre if and when he is need i would think.

From what I've heard it's Nobby that has told him Gaskell will be first choice, probably to unsettle him. According to another 'Lancashire' player Cummins has not told Gaskell anything of the sort, just that he will be in the squad along with everyone else.

This is probably all down to Nobby trying to spend the money he is being given. He may be going around unsettling players that he wants. Nobody has a god given right for a guaranteed starting spot ina team. You are only as good as your last game and Sammut has been fairly poor. He is brilliant at times but he is poor more times than brilliant. This is a tricky one. Do we keep someone who is hot and cold or do we try and find someone who is consistently good. I like it when Sammut comes off the bench but he can be awfully frustrating and is a maveric rather than a team leader. Tough decision for Franny if Nobby is trying to tempt him away.

the thing is though obviously Nobby knows he's a maverick, like we all do, and probably much better than most. Nobby is a great coach and if he really is after Sammut then that means Nobby doesn't mind signing the maverick that is Sammut, and can't within reason think of anyone better. Is that someone we should be losing? Wysiwyg with Sammut, I personally think during the time he has been here the brilliant and unbelievable things he has done more than compensate for his bad days. Personally I'd much rather have that than a dull but steady alternative.

There was much talk last year and before of Leon Pryce coming back. WTF does he do for most of the time? Sammut has at least 10 flashes of brilliance for every 1 of Leon's, yet many were keen to see Leon back. Don't get me wrong, at the right money I would be in favour of signing Leon if he was available and if we had a vacancy, but would say Sammut offers much more.

I'm not one for jinxes, it's interesting to note Sammut has 16 tries for the SL season (Kearney has 15). 18 tries would make either of them the highest Bulls try scorer since Vainikolo in 2005 with 25.

(2006; Hape, 17. 2007; Vainikolo, 16. 2008; Tadulala, 17. 2009; Tadulala, 13. 2010; Kearney, 11. 2011; Royston, 10. 2012; Kearney, 15.)

i got told he was going to leeds but if he signs for bradford it will be to play hb

Signs for Bradford? He doesn't need to sign anything to stay here, his current contract runs to the end of 2014.
