Do we keep Sandow?

[Chipmunk]

probably both of them.

Interesting.

But are either of these two players going to excite Watmough or Foran to be here even more?

 

[Avenger]

probably both of them.

Seeing that one of them is Hayne of course you would take him rather than Snake. Notice how MJC isn't denying it could be Hayne? :sarcasm:

PS I am taking the piss a little but do not think for one moment that that we are not waiting to see if or not he makes it in the NFL.

I dont think i have denied them being anyone other than Snake.

Was told ages ago it was snake.

I'm shit stirring you buddy. I understand that sometimes you just can't post it. I had a meeting with a well known league man this week and would love to share some of the info he told me but I can't.

I also need to stop big noting, but I can't.

It's why we love you.

Does it involve Parra????

Of course it did. I was asking the questions. However this man was not a Parra identity. Very impressive nonetheless.

He also said he reckons Sandow's NRL career is done after 2015, and that he knocked back a two year, $300,000 per annum deal.

Good or bad stuff?

You have an issue with taking players from the most mentally toughest and most successful NRL team of the last decade?

Stewart is 30 years old and will be 31 when the 2016 season begins. Like Watmough, his best years are behind him. No doubt he would want a contract that would see out his career ( we are willing to give 4 year contracts as you know). I am not saying it would be a bad thing but we always seem to get the get rough end of the pineapple when we sign anyone linked to Manly.

So who do you suggest signing instead?

All comes down to what the clubs expectations are for French, if they think he is going to be an NRL player (which they do), Gordon will be fine for next year.

We can score points and Foran will help this even further. Thus we don't need a brillant fullback to fix our attack we just need a solid fullback that defends well and is in the right position more times then not at the back. While isn't a total slug in attack. Gordon fits this role perfect.

 

[Eelogical]

I don't suggest anyone in particular. I am not knowledgeable enough to say who is the best option for us. However, I know enough to think that paying overs (which we will end up doing) for Stewart won't give us the value for money we crave. Plus, he'd be another purchase from the Sea Slugs.....our sworn enemy.

Sorry guys I can't. Most of it has been discussed here plenty of times. Just fascinating to get an outsiders perspective. I can say that he reckons Foran is a great start and that he is not a great fan of Hayne and his ego. Doesn't rate our Captain as a leader either.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

All this talk about 'let's get this player' and 'no, he's shit, we need that player', and then, 'but he's over-priced and old, what we need is....'

The pessimist in me is starting to think that the most effective change we could make is to our coach. Which would mean years more rubbish, so I hope that's not correct. Maybe it's just years of being a Parra supporter that will do it to ya.

(To be clear, I don't think we should even be thinking about ditching Arthur. And a good win would do us the world of good.)

If Arthur doesn't get us into the 8 in 2016 I would be tempted to go all out for someone like Bellamy in 2017. Never believe in that he won't coach against the Storm bullshit. Did you ever think Bennett would coach against Brisbane?

At the very least Brian Smith should be hired to do a job like Gould at Penrith and move on Anderson whose results have been shocking so far.

I'd expect a professional club to be planning for the possibility that Arthur doesn't work out, but I just hope they don't do it in the fashion they did when we recruited Kearney. Arthur has had Hayne go which has cost us a great deal, so it's hard to judge him purely on wins and losses at this point. How many close games have we had this year where Hayne would have been the difference? Too many.

I wouldn't be against Bellamy, he must be a good coach, despite the Scum's cheating. And having Ando at the club is just stupid, but I dunno how you can say his results have been shocking. No one even seems able to agree on exactly what he's responsible for.
