He's 37. Not likely to be as quick as he was. It'll be interesting to see if he's still good enough. Suggests Gaskell isn't going to be back any time soon.

Blimey, how many times have we been rumoured to be bringing Sammut back to the club. Now at age 37 he finally arrives. Well i hope he works out for us, only time will tell.

Not sure what he has left in his legs but we needed somebody and I imagine options were limited. He always seemed to enjoy his time at Bradford so I would expect we will get 100% effort if nothing else.

So I don't know how fit he will be. Let's see.
It shows the scarcity of half-back options to sign before the deadline
I didn't realise how few games he'd played At his age he's not going to have the fast feet of old. All these videos the club is sharing of his exploits nine or ten years ago are all very well but he won't be the same player now and he will be targeted as a potential weak link in defence. As you say it shows how few options there are.

if hes on the field more than gaskill, better than nowt ... i don't remember him being made of byskutes so shud be gud. at 37, I'm sure he must have learned a trick or 2 to offset the lack of pace. that being said (as did OP Bullmania), flip a coin, its going to be gold or a discarded snot hanky (with absolute no disrespect to any player who takes to a rugger field)
