Very interesting seeing Jarrod going into Tong school grounds this morning !! Hmm. ...

Apologies for the spelling !! Stupid phone !!!

I was going too suggest turning off auto spelling.....but I suspect that might not have been the problem!

As for Jarrod, I reckon the club need to come clean as that's the second 'sighting' very recently. If they don't get it announced they'll be overtaken by events at this rate.

I've heard he has taken a job as a milkman in the close season.

It'd be nice to hear that he'd signed for someone. Regardless of whether it's us or someone else. Just so everyone can stop speculating and stop banging on about him.

Incidentally, Sam Bates tweeted earlier about being off to run some hills with Jarrod. That doesn't suggest he's signed for Bradford. If he had signed for anyone, that would suggest Dewsbury, but more likely he just hasn't for anyone yet and he's trying to keep fit.

Just to bang on about him a moment longer, it does rather feel like I'm in some sort of alternative twilight zone reality where he inexplicably can't find a club. I mean seriously? Sure he has flaws but there's no way he should be without a club, it's absolutely bonkers.

Agreed. You wonder if perhaps there's something more to it (like his asking price is too much - pure guess by the way). I would think he would improve the squad of any current Championship team, with the exception of Leigh who have 3 top class halves already (and another out on loan).

Agree with that, though the problem may be that Jarrod would clearly want a full time gig and, to the best of my knowledge, there aren't many of those going begging right now. There is one club, quite close to home, with a half back shortage though. I've said before I'd be delighted to see him back so I won't say it again....Damn!

I'm pretty sure that Sammut lives in the Gomersal area pretty close to Tong. I was up at the school on Saturday morning and there are loads of different classes going on for the general public. It may sound crazy, but perhaps he was there for something other than to train with the Bulls squad.

As for him not having a club, I think that he's had surgery on both of his wrist in the off season and is currently out of action. I'm not sure on the extent of the injuries but maybe it's connected to his current availability (if he is actually available)?

He's either available or signed with a part time club. No other reason he'd be doing his own hill training with another part time player on a Tuesday morning.

he,s supposed to have been training with workington since pre season training started and supposed to have signed weeks ago as for his wages it,s being paid for by a local business man and it,s not for peanuts

My main gripe is that he supposedly met with Jimmy last summer, and was either deemed not good enough to help us with the playoffs or we couldn't fit him under the cap (although the timing of Matt ryan joining us would be interesting). A sammut/gaskell partnership in the MPG would have been much more fun. We probably would still have lost, but more entertainingly....

But now, 6months have passed, and he is suddenly good enough for us again....

That's my opinion too, more or less. You never know with Jarrod, he's so off the cuff he could have won the game for us or gifted Wakey a couple more tries....you just never know.

I do know he's one of those precious few players who makes the pulse race, who does those amazing, totally unexpected things which leave you open mouthed, and who fill you with anticipation - sometimes, not [iexactly[/i fulfilled, of course but ultimately he's one of those individuals who make RL such an exciting game to watch.

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

He has his faults but beggars can'tbe choosers.
