Given his size, I don't expect him to make more tackles than he misses, but that non-tackle was disappointing.
But what I think he should focus more on is his attacking kicks - he's not in the side for his defence, but because he's an attacking threat.
He was great for Wenty.
He probably also needs to focus on his attacking passes. And his attacking runs. Once he gets his attacking ability back, it might be worth talking about whether or not he could play first grade again.
He has been awful this year. And defensively he is always awful. The right edge defence is a procession, with the centre and edge backrower 'cheating' towards Sandows man the whole game, and opening themselves up to be beaten on the inside (backrower), or outside (centre).
Just watch replays of the games, the right edge defensive structure is shot when Sandow is out there.
I think a Sandow + anyone combination in the halves will struggle to make the 8. Every single team has games where it struggles to score points, and needs to rely on a defensive effort to be competitive. You just can't regularly get in the grind with Sandow around, too many days he is AWOL, and it is a procession.
His attack is probably only ever 'on' one day out of 3 (at best) - at his best, he can carve up, but that happens twice a season. Fail to see how consistently poor defence is made up for by occasionally excellent attack.
