If the debate is you’re a better player if you’ve won more trophies. Tauti has a SL title and a WCC, the other only have a SL title. Does that mean he is the best of the 4?

That's means naught.
Sammut's 2 years wouldn't add up to the money that would have been spent on one year of Hastings salary.

I thought I read a report at the time of Sammut signing that said it was a two year deal but with the second year being an option in our favour but I can’t find that anywhere now, so maybe I dreamt it.

He’s done pretty well Sammut when he’s played. He looks like a guy who’s worked his game out with experience and I wouldn’t be against keeping him.

Class

...means hes here next year so not really nought

Good signing for you, ought to be what you need at half back.
