I specifically said "last test" to make my point.

I agree, but, that doesn't follow a squad filler narrative IMO, come in for a couple of games then revert to the stand, the bench, or another position when the first choice' is available, or you are needed to fill in elsewhere

He's not first choice, if you prefer. But splitting hairs aside, if Charnley/Rachford/Linbeham are all fit. then I cannot see JM getting a game.

I wouldn't be too sure of that...Price is the opposite to TS and rewards and retains form over seniority.
You make the team and do well...you stay in it.

I am splitting hairs, apologies, but, a squad filler won't keep the shirt. He's the player that can do a job if needed, brought in with the clubs spare cap money to make the numbers up. As I stated in previous posts I hope that he's better than that and REAL competition for a place.

I agree he's not first choice at the moment, but, he's got more of a chance IMO than say Pomeroy and M Brown no disrespect to those two as they filled in and did a job

Depends whether you view your glass as half empty, or half full.

I doubt it unless Sammut didn't count on the Quota?

Re: Rumours 2 : Sun Nov 18, 2018 11:44 am  

Just because the overseas quota is full doesn't mean we can't sign another half back, gentlemen.

The British game might not produce many John Woods anymore doesn't mean that the answer to our problems is always in Wollongong.

We seem happy to take a punt on forwards from outside SL or the French comp but never backs, yet i'd think the transition was easier.

Sammut is Maltese. He can also kick goals.

Don’t get the Sammir love in. Yes, he did well last season ( in the Championship) but would feel like a stop gap signing to me.
