#Chris Sandow has been dropped by the Parramatta Eels

[natheel]

i still think Sandow will play against Tigers. i reckon it's all a beat up. Sandow probably missed a session due to injury on his shoulder and SK probably said catch up and train on thursday night with Wenty to get some training in so you're not under-done. I think it's all mind games at this stage. I mean if SK was going to drop him then why name him? He gets more publicity this way by naming Sandow for the Tigers game and that night Chris is apparently at Wenty training. yet the DT only published it today? if this were the case then DT would've been all over it prior to today.

The "talk" of dropping Sandow in the media is hardly the coaching masterstroke to create uncertainty for the Tigers that you are trying to make out.

I didn't say it's a coaching masterstroke - the talk was all rumours before Hindy confirmed it (and said it was a good idea).

I just said it would interfere with the Tigers more than it would affect us. This is proven by their early statement that they expected Sandow to play.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It benefits Kearney, because it looks like he's doing something, and he can report to his bosses (Board) that he's trying something, and they can remain warm and fuzzy about a vague and inconclusive five year plan....

They're sure easy to fool, those board members.

But you're not fooled. The luminaries on the fansites can see through it all. :lol:

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It certainly does not help our gate takings which on a sunny Sunday afternoon should be huge. All this bullcrap about our No.1 recruit being dropped must put a dent in people's enthusiasm to attend the match.

I'm pretty sure the extra Tigers fans will make up for the crowd shortfall.

Don't forget the bandwagon Eels fans don't turn up when we're losing anyway. I doubt we would have gotten too many home fans if Sandow did play.

By dumping the biggest off season purchase to nsw cup? Hope Hayne doesn't have a quiet game otherwise he will be starring inns nsw cup next week

You have a very simplistic worldview.

Sandow wasn't dropped because he has been playing poorly; he was dropped because he was down on confidence and it was determined that a good game for Wenty would lift his confidence.

Hayne is confident no matter how he is playing, so a week in Wenty won't change anything.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

maybe our club is happy for the media to go off in a frenzy and not bother correcting them - personally I don't care if it all ends up a media bullshit story

I do, because it gives me another excuse to put shit on the board and the coach who I hate.

As for the club, responding to media speculation just fuels more speculation. When journos know they can get a story out of the club by just spreading rumours it encourages them to keep doing it and makes the club look unprofessional.

I have a very bad inkling that this decision will backfire horribly.
People saying Sandow is being blamed solely should remember that Lasalo and aroma have also been dropped.
Still......good on Kearney for making a big call, but I think it's the wrong one as far as Sandow goes.

I hope you remember this next time your logic is called into question.

Perhaps the key issue there is the phrase "exchange of opinions and independent thinking" which is conceptually different to "abuse".

Unfortuntely bart has declared that having served in the ADF and showing any support for authority means a person is incapable of independent thought. An exchange of opinions is impossible now that he has won every debate forever.

I should just shut up and agree with him. After all, he's an independent thinker. As are the thousands of other Eels fans calling for the coach's head.

We'll know soon enough won't we? Exciting times.

if sandow was dropped purely for poor form why were lasalo and esi in first grade for weeks?

I'm sure Morts is playing with a lot more confidence now,

isn't it the same excuse that was used last year when Morts was sent back to wenty.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah maybe. I dunno. Doesn't he play for the Jets now? He's not our problem any more.

I'm pretty sure Morts was dropped to force him and his big contract out of the club.

Interesting. Another piece of the puzzle just fell into place.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'd really love to collate a heap of your posts and get a colleague to run a psych profile.

 

[Stagger eel]

imho....a ridiculous decision and it smells of a desperate coaching staff who have ran out of ideas..

please, for the love of god, prove me wrong..

Why? I think PouPou makes more logical sense on here than anybody else.
If you are looking for a physche patient look no further than Casper.

Don't take this the wrong way but why would you make the effort to tell me that here, in a public forum?

Just more pointscoring in some bullshit forum war? Don't take it the wrong way. Maybe you should get your 'colleague' that is happy to work for free (unless he/she is an amateur psychologist that just does it as a hobby) to run a profile on bartman. I've lost count of the number of times he's gone out of his way to criticise former soldiers.

Good luck with your 'puzzle'.

Does anyone know who has repalced McGuire on the bench?

I would ask coach Kearney but i don't think he even knows.

I think you'll find he agrees with Casper and that makes him of sound mind.

Get Ifreak to give him a call.
