Jaz is a great player and would have caused a fair few problems for SL defences. There was talk of him going back to Worky due to having a firm job offer at Sellafield a few months back - possibly this causing him leaving Broncos?? Any marras confirm/deny this?? Luckily for you I can both confirm and deny the rumour, I hope that clears things up for you . A marra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London may just have 1 year in SL and Sammut may get an upgrade to 50-60k but it would be one year. These guys have to think about the next 10-20. Exactly this. Sammut is 31, and has possibly a year or two left at a decent level, a couple more at lower levels perhaps. If he has had a good job offer then it makes sense to take it. He has to think about his long term future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daddy Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 A decent player but not great. I don't think he'll be as much of a loss that some people are suggesting. If I remembered correctly he was even out of the squad for a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 It’s players like him though that can help create a new generation of London halves - a real maverick with a winning mentality on the field - really put his body on the line for London this year when i have seen him play on the rare occasion admittedly - but he got your team around the park against TWP twice and showed their star half the way round Great shame - as said before hope he gets a gig. And isnt lost to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Cool Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Reasonable player but not a massive loss and should be replaceable. On his day can turn a match but pretty inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Catalan Dragons had that when they first entered SL. Came last that first year but that exemption saved them. I seem to remember that a promoted team were given three years in the past to establish themselves. Was it Widnes who benefited?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what bud, I would love my club to get promoted next season, get relegated and then go back up the next season. I would be over the moon. Isn't that what P& R is all about?

Wolford6 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Not sure if this is still the case: Sammut met his partner Jessica during his time at Bradford and the pair live in Cleckheaton with their two young boys. ...

westlondonfan Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I think Jarrod has done a great job for us this season and played a crucial role in us getting promoted.

You seem to be under the illusion that all that money is stashed in a bank account for a rainy day. If so, then I get your point. Reality is that all that money will be spent trying to maintain SL status. Then, when relegated, it's really bleak trying to keep the ship afloat.

We are don't know what it's like being a Super League team. We are a club that lives within our means. Give us a million and we will spend it wisely. Give us another million and we will do the same. It just means, maybe, we can compete with the big guys for a while longer. Or do you not believe in the dream? Like all Barrow supporters, and those of other teams, we are under no illusion. Unlike the reality that has hit some SL teams recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMF Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 TIWIT, not true, unless you can provide some facts. The reality is, over the last few years most 'owners' have put vast amounts of money into clubs and had their fingers burnt. Yes, they've ran, but only after loosing money. Prey tell us, who has put money into RL and run off with a fortune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
