Do we keep Sandow?

After the last two weeks it's a massive no from me, his first two seasons he could blame the pack and coaches he had. Last year he was good in quite a few games but without Hayne in the squad he is now even more erratic and even more rocks and less diamonds. Norman is solid, a much better defender and could do a job with Foran.

I think if we re-sign Sandclown, with two halves on good money who can do the job already on the books for next year, then I'll just about give it away.

If BA re- signs sandow, then he has truly proven he has no idea and we are in for another few years of wooden spooners.

BA is a myth

He went missing today Zip Zip...... again.
Throughout the game, our forwards created plenty of space to attack at a mostly retreating defence.
ZERO rewards =GONNNEEEEE.

Sandow is far too erratic and not composed. If we had DCE at 7 tonight we win the contest. Look at our forwards plenty besides the human felafel made over 100 metres. We had over 55% possession, yet still lost. The game was there for Sandow to win for us and he failed miserably as did our inspirational captain and Watmough the worst signing since Dykes.

When did Sandow have the chance to 'win the game for us'? Norman was the bloke with the ball on all the important plays. But don't worry, if you like DCE, we've signed a bloke who is even more expensive, and therefore better.

DCE is three times the player Sandow will ever be. Sandow is shit and I cannot wait until I see the back of him.

If it was up to me I would have gone for DCE before Foran.

I think DCE is better than Sandow. Maybe not three times, but overall better. I would also have gone for him before Foran. But the Sandow criticism after today's game is not warranted IMO. He played well.

Its easy to say we have no idea, but please give a reason why?..... or else you are nothing but a brain dead genius fanboy that has no idea how the game is played.

Yeah good one. I have more idea than you and have actually played the game.

If you can give me a better option than Chrissy I'd love to hear it! Apart from DCE and Cronk who is on the market that we can replace him with? To put all the blame on him shows what you know. In all our wins this year he has been our man, and in the loses he has kept us in the hunt.

Too right! The ball goes to Norman 9 times out of 10 in the opposition 20 on the last tackle. It is obviously a BA directive and to keep blaming Chrissy is beyond me. The kid is fit, has improved his defence and has been the one shining light this season thus far

It goes to Norman because he plays as the organising Number 7 coz Sandow isn't capable of it. There's no consitency in his play and every thing he does seems off the cuff. It doesn't seem like he's thought a play or 2 or 3 ahead and come up with a plan what he's doing.

1 time he might run it on the last, another time a good kick in the in goal, another time shovel it on to Gower to do the kicking for him (WTF), sometimes runs short side when there's no numbers there..It's obvious to all watching BA has stripped his role back and let Norman take care of all that and Sandow just play what he sees. Problem is it's completely eratic and rocks and diamonds and he doesn't have the ability, concentration or commitment to defend his poor decisions.

Yeah he's got to go. What ever he does that is brilliant, he lets the team down two fold with his dumb plays or poor attempts in D.

Not sure if Norman is the answer either, but with a rocket up him he'll be OK in the No.7 I think.

Every week this thread gets bumped. Every week I hope we a closer to seeing the back of him. Can we have a Joe Paulo thread as well so I can contribute to that in the same vain after every match.

Seffa is not the reason why we look rudderless and get caught on the last tackle unable to execute a kick.

Seffa didn't slide to the right and throw a neat inside pass for Faraimo to score his third try either.
