tec Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Last season I agree with you on point 2 but not this season, been average at best the years have caught up with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulverstonian Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Totally agree with ghost of uncle fester. He made games exciting to watch and frustrating at the same time. He has won us games with either a pass or off the cuff play so many times. How many tries last season did he set up for just Stack, without out the others and his own. On his day a joy to watch and although it is time for him to leave I feel , I will be sad but am also very glad I got to watch him week in week out.

Raider83 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 In the 21 so looks like it's 2 games this weekend for JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLDB Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 He can’t do right for doing wrong. How dare he want to play international rugby and play for his club. He’s just missed 5 games so I’m sure he can manage 2 games on the bounce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP Beans Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 My thoughts are that he is being a bit selfish,if our Championship place was secured I wouldn’t have a problem with it. I know the odds are stacked against us going down but sport throws anomalies up every now and again. Has he trained with the team this week? what if he gets injured?what about the person having to take his place if he doesn’t make it? He has given no thought to the coach or his team mates in this decision,personally I wouldn’t pick him. Goodbye Jarrod thanks for your efforts,I have enjoyed watching you but this leaves a sour taste,let’s hope it’s not too sour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Cents Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 He's not had the individual flair this season, more a team-player, but has made numerous final passes and short kicks for scores, more than any other player. Plus his high up and unders have been very positive. We were spoilt last year with him, Hakim and Tee providing such great entertainment, which sadly has been lacking this year. Would love us to recruit a new speedster for next year. Is Bill Burgess available? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbert08 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 "With questions swirling around regarding Jarrod Sammut's club commitments this weekend where his Barrow Raiders face York City Knights on Sunday afternoon, Jarrod confirmed he intended to play back-to-back on Saturday in Malta and Sunday in England. "Jarrod said, ''our last game of the season with Barrow Raiders this Sunday, so I'll play Saturday for my family and my heritage with Malta, and then I'll fly out first thing Sunday morning, it gets me back in time to warm up and get set ready to do battle in our last game of the season against York''. quote from sammut fair play if he does that.

Churchill Drivers Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just because Jarrod is named in The Barrow 21 for Sunday's game does not mean that he is likely to play against York, particularly if he plays for Malta today. Lots of teams all season have been naming players in their 21 that are injured or unavailable - usually when they are short of numbers. Personally I cant see him playing on Sunday in the final 17/18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 He'll be cutting it fine. Checking on my Flightradar app, I don't see any plausible flights listed to England on Sunday morning that work timewise. The early flights all seem to be London. Even then, they don't land till 9:45. Getting up here from there in time for 15:00 seems a bit fanciful to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue forever Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 People thinking it's possible to play 2 games on consecutive days at this level have no idea how tough this sport is. He may play but his performance will be severely affected. Personally I wouldn't take that risk and would play a fit committed replacement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJD Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I heard today we are down to only 17 fit players for tomorrow. It feels awful but Haven have just lost and we all know what that means, I can't believe I wanted a French team to win but I can ask for forgiveness in the morning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until 15mins ago I hoped he was wrong but now it's not important. It looked like Cresta was going to do a Bobby Goulding and pull on the shirt just one more time.

RSN Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Safe now. I personally think the stick Sammut has got this season has been ridiculous. Helped us to 4th last year with magic moments, tries the same stuff this year he gets bashed for trying. Anyone with a rugby league brain can see all the oppositions defensive efforts are focused on reducing Sammuts influence on the game. Particularly in the first half of the season our backs weren't taking advantage of the space he created. In terms of value for money this year he probably hasn't stacked up but if any supporter doesn't think he has overall had a great impact to our club they're mental. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masters 13 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Has Sammut comfirmed who he's playing for next season? I'm half hoping he stays with us for another. I'd rather he plays for us than against us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
