Quote: Bigredwarrior "Ok let’s go back to the start of this little debate.
Unless I’m completely missing your point (which I’m not) your position is that a player (Powell, Leuluai or Williams) who contributed towards the winning run and culminated in a GF win should not be ‘dropped’ in favour of a player (Sammut) who was signed from a championship club. That’s a reasonable point of view and one I agree with to a point.
However, the exact same situation applies to Tautai. He played a big part in the run to the GF yet hasn’t featured so far because a player from the championship (Bullock) has been selected instead. Bullock has been far more effective than Tautai was in the run to the GF and not many people would put Tautai in the 17 ahead of him.
My point throughout the debate is that in much the same way as Bullock has, Sammut needs to be given a chance to prove himself. Nothing more, nothing less. If that’s me being Mr Predictable then I’m ok with that.
Rather than put words in your mouth, I’ll ask your view on whether or not Bullock should have been given a game ahead of Tautai, given his contribution to the winning run and GF success? I think he should because he has shown in preseason and friendlies to offer more. I believe the same to be true about Sammut who had a decent game, particularly kicking wise against Salford.'"
You're dying for me to go back and forth with you on this aren't you...
Are you saying that last season Tautai contributed as much as Tommy, Powell and Williams to our success? I'm merely sticking to you comparisons for clarity. You seem to look at things on a very surface level basis, without looking at the details of the discussion.
It seems, as you previously posted you think the Bullock/Sammut situation is exactly the same, when it's really not.
