DavidM Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Making sammut the first signing if at all possible would be an incentive to any waiverers in the squad , as well as outsiders . They're not going to play or get service off anyone near his level . It would have such a knock on effect . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonky Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I wonder where Simon grix will be off, massively under rated, and not heard any rumblings of a super league club chasing him. Absolute work horse and would be great at our level the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 phil and the board know the players better than us , they will place a value on them based on many things probably , who are we to argue . it all comes down to who they want to play for , and how much they think they are worth .what value pv/board place on a player maybe quite different to what the player thinks he s worth .its a short career and players have to get the best deal they can .

Except Sammut in all honesty, I just don't think there's anyone even close to his abilities who would sign for town. Other than brierley I think he's the best in the championship. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think he has a better overall game than him as well. I don't see a weakness tbh , he even tackles everything that runs at him and is a great leader on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old standoff Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I would like to see a big barnstorming six foot three prop about eighteen to nineteen stone who can run 100 meters in about 10 seconds and who is a tackling machine who has a wicked sidestep off each foot. But seriously would not mind someone to partner Sammut maybe Farkas if still available and. If he could make it before start of ner season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith T Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Oh dear, I can see it's going to be a long hard road from now until next February with all the rumours already starting to flow. We should have a thread where all the rumours of players leaving or signing that Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all have heard from some other fairy tale character can be kept together. I remember when ............................."It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

Anonymouse Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 yep its time to visit the forums less often now the rumour twaddle and wages guess work has started , as for players who people think should be playing in SL and players they think should not be playing in SL , well its not all down to being the most skillful on the pitch , professional squads rely also on professional conduct , attitude and dedication plus working as a team player and also not over pricing yourself .

OttO Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Oh dear, I can see it's going to be a long hard road from now until next February with all the rumours already starting to flow. We should have a thread where all the rumours of players leaving or signing that Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all have heard from some other fairy tale character can be kept together. The doom merchants are already starting to stir things up about us losing players. I say we should wait and see what happens... Some of the names I have heard as being likely signings have already got me looking forward to next season. The last 2 seasons have shown Town can compete at this level and have made progress as a club both on and off the field. Town are now able to attract better players.

wonky Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Phil today saying ' one or two will move on ' ... Upwards I understand if your class , but backwards ? Why ?theres also the likes of coward retiring. Personally think we need a bit of a freshen up. It's been a similar squad for the last 5-6 years. And to kick in again maybe new faces are required. the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
