Jarrod Sammut : Sat Aug 16, 2014 10:27 am  

On his way out according to the H K R board. If its true not sure what we have planned.

Could be a replacement for Burns who is getting some interest from Saints apparently.

Hope this isn't true!

He's contracted so HKR will have to shell out to buy him, unlike last year we are not so desperate to sell so the fee would have to be favourable to us.

Unless we need his wage for more size and power up front that Webbo keeps talking about. Keeping sykes at 6 for another year?? I'd be guessing with a year left on contract you'd be looking at £15-20k??

Just my opinion but if we sacrifice Sammutt in order to recruit some size and power, I'd be OK with that, if so I'd play Hall at 6 and Jowitt at 1 with Tom Johnston on one of the wings.
Looks like a decent back line
1 Jowitt
2 Riley ??
3 Collis
4 Lyne
5 Johnston
6 Hall
7 Smith?

I think Owen will be here next year so that's a wing spot. As long as there is good cover for when Collis gets injured, we'll be ok. If possible if ship collis out and use his wage on another quality back (easier said than done)

Jowett (really unsure if next season is a season too early for the No1 shirt)
Reilly
Hall
Lyne
Owen

Sykes
Smith

A utility back for decent cover would be great

We ask for loyalty from the players and someone posts an unfounded rumour and we are already spending the money. We cannot afford to lose either Sammut or Collis you may be able to produce an acceptable back line but two are not use to a season of super league and two aren't even our players.

Unfounded rumours keep the boards going. Now and again they actually happen. HK R may or may not want jarrod , either way it's only natural that supporters would have an interest in a replacement and possible squad rotations. I think we will probably see a couple more comings and goings before the start of next season and hopefully a couple of loans made permanent.

Hope the rumour is rubbish as Sammut with Tim Smith next year with Collis and Lynne out wide behind a decent pack would be my ideal if we are serious about top 8 in 2015.

We need a couple of real big impact props as it shows when Tautai is on the field we have real go forward. He's going plus Raleigh and Moore has gone. Fair enough Simon is coming but think we've struggled for consistent go forward in our pack and it's a really important area to improve on for next season.
