Those knee jerk wigan reactions are ridiculous. He's probably three or four years past his best but this is a side who have been playing Sam Powell and old man Tommy Leuluai in the halves the past couple of seasons. Sammut is an improvement on both of those players.

I think the main reason for their gripe is that Wigan have lost two of their most influential players in Tomkins and Bateman and neither have been replaced by a star signing.

If they were seriously expecting a Shaun Johnson or Gareth Widdop announcement then I can see why they'd be frustrated, but I'd also point out the naivety of thinking either of those players would be pulling on a Wigan shirt in 2019, if ever.

I'm really pleased for Jarrod and I hope he has them all eating their words next season.

I think they'll be pleasently surprised.

Sammut is ridiculously inconsistent. I couldn't believe it to be honest, especially with him plying his trade in the lower leagues for a while now.

Sammut is like Chisholm. When he's firing there's not a team that can stop him, but when he goes missing it's all that much more noticeable

However, putting him in a team like Wigan should, in theory, hide some of those deficiencies from his game.

Tend to agree with the comments. Can win a game on his own, but can also lose it on his own.

I would add that it won't hurt having Adrian Lam and Shaun Edwards coaching him.

He’ll be cheap back up half back cover. Looks a good bit of business to me, who do Wigan DR with?
