Do we keep Sandow?

He's a very nice bloke when I've met him. He'd be one of the better fullbacks in the comp if he played there when he was a junior and learned how to do it.

Absolutely. My post was an unashamed copy of a Basil Fawlty line. The public health inspector lists about 20 severe breaches of health and safety requirements, finishing with '....and 2 dead pigeons in the water tank.'. Basil replies 'Apart from that, ok?'.

The reason he has to go is simple, watch his attempted one hand pick up as fullback ingoal in wet slippery conditions which led to a Melbourne try.

No,the reason he is going is because he is a defensive liability in the front line. It's got nothing to do with his fullback play.

Not sure now. He's played well in the past month. If Foran doesn't sign, we might not have any choice.

If Foran doesn't sign then I reckon we need him. With Beau Scott defending next to him he will have better protection (providing injury prone Scott ever gets on the field)

If Foran doesn't sign I would still release Sandow and sign Mitchell Cornish with Kelly as the back up.

It doesn't even matter who is next to him. Fact is he simply doesn't try on occasion.

Watch the game last night, the last minute. There is absolutely EVERYTHING to play for, the game is right on the line, 1 or 2 tackles and we are home - Widdop runs the ball, and Sandow fairdinkum just stands and watches him run by, then tags him on the arm (he may have yelled 'TIP' - not sure). Widdop throws the ball over the sideline, game over.

But you could put the 2 best defenders in history on either side of Sandow, if he simply doesn't try (which happens every game at some stage), then a line break will certainly result....

I saw that too and have now changed my mind on him. I wanted him at fullback out of the defensive line but he is not patient enough at fb.

That just look tackle really pissed me off. He was like yours
