Do we keep Sandow?

[Poupou Escobar]

you need some clue about how to make the opposition make bad reads in defense ....

Yeah, fatigue them by completing your sets early on. It's something we never f**king do.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I reckon Arthur was happy to accept the plaudits when some of Sandow's individual brilliance got us points and won us games. The dropping of Sandow smacks of sending a message to the public and his employers, but I don't think it's good for the team. We've seen Kelly's awfulness before. And I don't think it would be too hard to find quotes from BA about how happy he was with the way Sandow was playing, when he was doing exactly the same things he's been doing lately.

When was Sandow playing well? We've only won three games and those are the only times you might see Sandow standing out for the right reason.

Well with Tomkins & Hurrell out and Manu only 50/50 to play, a stronger defensive line will certainly limit there options as out wide they'll lack the power to run straight over us. With those Boys out it really falls on Johnson.

I see a low scoring game. We'll pip them 14-10

Great.
So we win by 4, Manly win by 6 and the Sharks beat the Titans and we are running last.

When? Pretty much all of last year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe half of last year. But this year he's been gash. His form is too dependent on the rest of the team.

 

[Noise]

Aren't all halves dependent on their forwards winning the ruck? Something our forwards rarely do.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

And now that he will cost about a third the price of our superstar half, who will obviously make the rest of the team perform well, resigning sandow is a no brainer. ;-)

Devil's advocate has its place, but honesty should always take precedence.

You guys can have Hodkinson

Thanks Ms Castle.

I'd say they're all good when their forwards win and all shite when on the back foot. But a lot of the time there is just parity. That's where you see a halfback's true worth.

Thanks Ms Castle.

:lol:

 

[Chipmunk]

you need some clue about how to make the opposition make bad reads in defense .... we will struggle

You generally get bad reads in defence because one team has won the play the ball area sufficiently.

Our team is not good at doing that though.

Time out, time out, time out bro.... we need to rethink everything.
We've obviously overlooked something important here that's dragged on since 1987.
And to think no one picked up on this common denominator until now.

 

[Twizzle]

Actions speak louder than words, Twiz. Arthur has spoken.

I know what you mean, I guess he is not gonna come out and say it, but if Sandow goes back up to NRL in 3 weeks after "working on a few things" it may not be the case.

We shall see.

Yeah of course. As always, I could be wrong. Everything I post is just my opinion.

And then the question would be: do we really want a halfback who has to be dropped to reserves at least once a year to 'work on a few things'?

No one was calling for Sandow to be dropped a week ago. Must be an awful lot of bad judges on here.

LOL, that may have been due to our only alternative being Kelly which shouldn't be confused with support for Sandow

Plenty of us were calling for him to not be re-signed though.

If the coach thinks he needs to be dropped who are we to judge? If anything it will improve our defence.
