He's a professional. If he feels he deserves to start but the coach puts him on the bench then the ball is in his court, so show the coach he's wrong..

Suspect heritage has true story of what was said to players given he works at bulls.

Gaskell may have been told he would get an opportunity at 6, form and injuries permitting, but telling a kid who hasn't played 6 all season he'd be first choice in front of our best back, 5 months before the season even starts sounds ridiculous.

As we've seen with a few players this season, if Sammut doesn't want to stay then he should hand in a transfer request. Simple as that.

Indeed. I have the feeling it sounds ridiculous mainly because it is.

FC wants competition for places. No player has been told he's first choice.

Is Heath with us next season? He always has impact off the bench, and doesn't seem to bothered about only playing part of the game. If hes not around then Sammut would the same sort of impact, a fresh fast nippy player coming on when the defence is tiring, to give real speed and momentum around the ruck area. I would prefer a Henry Paul type of 6 rather than a Robbie so that the outer backs know what is going on, Gaskell fits the type more. IF FC is thinking along those lines, then I agree with him.

heaths still here next year AFAIK. hes told people that at fans forum and its been mentioned in various articles after his injury that he would be fit for start of pre-season with us.

I can see Sammut's frustration if he is used as an impact bench player. At times this season he has won us games (e.g. London away) on his own and should start. I'm not a fan of having our most dangerous player on the bench for the first 30 minutes of a match, where is bench warming. He should play 80 minutes every week.

Wow must say Salford signing Tim Smith came a little out of the blue, well for me anyway! Especially since its been all about either Sammut or Chase...

Hopefully with Chase asking to leave Cas and Salford snapping up Smith then it puts the Sammut rumours to bed! That said he has laughed it off himself pretty often enough, great news for us with good competition for the halves

Chase is a definite for signing for us, so sammut is habit up in the air at the moment.

Sammut to Salford is dead. Staying with us.salford getting hodgson.

I can now believe that? I was convinced about Sammut too, by a certain Roger Daley but I'm not complaining Smith and Chase will be the best HB partnership in SL next year.
