Could be wrong but didn't I read on the London forum that his kid has started school in Yorkshire somewhere and he's got a house up here as well.

Tha bloody whet?!?

TheDreadnought knows.

Just shows what SL has become when the champions are signing Jarrod Sammut, christ.

Wigan board in ' meltdown ' , funny as

Maybe it just shows where Wigan are at financially. Mentioned before on the most astute owner thread that Wigan as a club make substantial losses year on year whilst others are making profits. Rivals are making marquee signings this off season and they’re signing Sammut.

Embarrassing

Heis exempt from the quota as part of the deal when Crusaders went bust. He has not walked out on the Broncos - he was out of contract and didn’t agree the terms offered. Without him Broncos would not be in Super League for 2019. I wish him and his family all the very best

Does that still apply, I thought it was only a short term thing?

So did I, thought it was so they could get a gig after the fall out of the Crusaders. didn't think it was a career exception.

If I remember it correctly, it was a short term exemption for all crusaders players to count off the quota. Similar happened a few years ago when the bulls got into trouble (again!) and our players were allowed to go find alternate employers without counting on the caps.

However, Sammut qualifies for an EU passport (Maltese I believe) making him exempt from the overseas quotas. Perhaps this is still the case

Yeah, that's how I remember it all but Sammut would also count as non-fed trained wouldn't he even with his EU status. Whether it's overseas or Non fed they have to add up to 7, can't remember the split you're allowed of each.

Yep, unless he still gets the exemption from all those years ago, Sammut will be non-fed trained.
