Dispels the myth that Sammut was "injured" as the explanation for his non-selection in the team

A proper natural half, think he would go well with Hastings also as he can play and is a good runner

A good runner? He's slower than Windows95 on dial up.

If you are Usain Bolt then I take your point. If however you and he ran for a bus I bet I know who would catch it first and it wouldn't be you my friend.

In the games he played and I physically watched he was not "slow", in fact, when he took players on with the ball he frequently caused their defence issues.

Still it adds to the myth that he can't tackle so now (apparently) he is slow. What next? I'm expecting to read that his kicking game is not that good

hes not slow, fast he isnt but do you have to be to be a good runner?

[Wiganer Ted]

Fast enough with a good passing game, an excellent kicking game too which we've not had for years.
Sammut and Hastings half backs for me every time.

Firstly, I would never run for a bus, my friend. I would get there early and be at the front of the queue.
Secondly, it would be more appropriate to compare Sammuts pace to other Superleague halfbacks as the yardstick.

I would rather have a half that is quick between the ears than one on his legs. Myler anyone??

I agree Ted. Andy Gregory wasn’t the quickest by any means, and he didn’t do too badly did he.?
