Jarrod Sammut looks ahead to Wigan’s Betfred Super League Round 3 fixture against Hull FC.
Maltese half-back says Sunday’s game is a chance to respond following last week’s World Club Challenge disappointment.
Sammut talks about working towards his first Super League shot with the Warriors, saying “I need to make sure the coaching staff are seeing that I’m doing things right and from there it’s a waiting game.”
Jarrod Sammut says Sunday’s Betfred Super League meeting with Hull FC is an ‘opportunity for everyone to put things right’ after last week’s Betfred World Club Challenge defeat.
Wigan welcome the Black and Whites to the DW Stadium with a loss and a win so far in the league, compared to Lee Radford’s side who have not won a Super League game since June last year.
Sammut is yet to make a Super League appearance in the Cherry and White jersey, but as revealed in his press conference, Head Coach Adrian Lam is looking to give the Maltese international a ‘chance over the next couple of weeks’.
From what he has witnessed in training, 32-year-old Sammut is confident the Warriors can respond at the weekend and admits he needs to take his chance when it comes.
Speaking on Wednesday, Sammut said: “We’ve had a really good team session where everything has come off well. It’s another solid session under our belt, but we’ve still got a few more before Sunday to solidify our preparations.
“We’re looking positive for this week and it’s an opportunity for everyone to put things right. Everyone is chopping at the bit to get back out there.
I’m looking forward to when I get my opportunity to play. At the same time, I’m not too certain when that is, but all I can do is perform well in training and train hard in the gym.
“I need to make sure the coaching staff are seeing that I’m doing things right and from there it’s a waiting game. At the same time, when the opportunity comes, I need to be ready.”
The half-back believes the Betfred World Club Challenge beating to Syndey Roosters won’t disrupt Wigan’s season, as he says the team can learn from it and use it to their advantage in the coming months.

“It was a big occasion and we would have loved to get a different result, but we’ve put it to one side now. It doesn’t derail us or effect our season…it puts more focus on the Super League.
“We’ve took a lot of positives from it and from Round 1 to last week, we’ve definitely come on and things have improved.
“We need to hit our targets and hold ourselves accountable. Lammy talks about it being a team sport, but there is also a ‘me’ and you always need that ‘me’ in that team environment to be pulling your weight for the rest of the team to bounce off it.”
