I think Sandow is our best purchase ... I don't think he's half as bad as people think he is and the expectation was soooooooo high that it was always gonna be difficult to live up to that .... but he does good things in attack and was always gonna struggle defensively

blair is obviously going well for a kid also - but he does plenty of dumb stuff that kids do, people just seem to let it slide ... if he learns he will be a very good player

Sandow then Blair - I liked last night how sandow was starting to take some chances in attack ( chip kick, running more ). He such a brilliant attacking player but is a confidence player, which I think he is starting to get back

I know he is in recruitment, and not on the coaching staff. Just look how our recruited players have played this year.

Apart from Blair and Ryan, our new recruits have pretty much been a waste of money.

It's hardly Nolan's fault some players haven't played to their potential, but it's not all about recruits into the senior squad. It's building a strong junior base like the one at Brisbane.

Robson is up there for us, proving a great foil to Carney.

Shane Perry, Darren Lockyer combo......hope for the same result.

His defence last night was pretty good too, and they gave him quite a going over

The heading of this blog is misleading. The best thing I purchased this season was my plane ticket home. :(
Seriously though I think Semi Radradra will prove to be our best value for money purchase.

Ronald McDonald mascot from last night gets my vote. Pretty consistent with catching the ball at least

he was all quality under the high ball despite wearing seriously inappropriate footware
not that he had much competition from the others :lol:

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but he probably would have been a good foil for Sandow as well. I`ve always been an admirer of Jeff Robson. Good luck to him.

Ben Roberts, what ever we paid him it was worth it for maccas boy's meltdowns.

Voted for Blair because Paulo came here last year.

Worst has been Tonga. He needs to retire so we can sign someone who can pass the ball to his winger, beat a tackle or make a tackle.

Sandow needs to run the ball more.

Too early to tell with Kelly but he has been good.

Esi Tonga was a waste and Ben Roberts well...at least he can do something in attack.

Yeah I like the look of him. Powerful and smart with the pass/offload.

Toutai is a great attacking player but his defence needs some work. The promising sign is the U20 forwards especially the backrow from Saturday night. All three are real goers.
