well, if you saw his interview for MOTM with Vossy last night, Vossy asked him straight up....where is Chris sandow's future headed, we've heard about a big money offer from Parramatta....and Sandow said words to the effect of
well i leave that sort of stuff to my manager, and something, something, and you know Souths is a great club, BUT i also have to make sure i do what is best for me.....

to me that seemed to be very open if not pointed, as if geez i don't want to be harsh to Souths but i'm almost out the door....whether or not its to Parra is the other question?

i must also admit....i voted NO in this poll and have been pretty critical of Sandow for: (a) not performing well this year and (b) essentially being an arrogant grub, and at first was not keen on the idea of buying him at all....

but then, i softened listening to the logic of some people saying maybe Parramatta needs a player with some mongrel and arrogance and well, personality, like he posesses......and to be brutally honest after his performances the last two weeks and in particular last night against Souths, i have actually pretty much come full circle on this....i say sign him up

The best thing about Sandow is not the fact he is playing like a brillant veteran halfback but:

- He is very young so has plenty of time to improve
- has all the skills, fast, kicks, passing game not scared to run the ball.
- is fearless in defence
- has shown potential in a pretty sh8tty coached side.

OR what he said could say, I'd like souths to offer me a little more so i can stay

i reckon a performance like last night would get him closer to satying than going .... he'll get a massive ear bashing about how great he is for his team now .... rusty is a top line actor, he can put it all on when he needs to

I believe the problem is Souths cannot legally under the cap give Sandow a much better offer then they have already given him, thus the emotional black mail souths are doing in the media.

If that's the game souths want to play then it's a pretty harsh one on sandow. He's a young father who has to do what's right by his family

i don't really understand ppl getting all up in arms about Souths trying to work the situation their way - its what happens .... do you think parra don't do the same things?


sandow's play last night was great .... i'm still rather hung up on him being a dickhead tho

and i agree with most of you guys this morning, Souths are really trying to pull at the heart strings with him to stay, and last night's game will only make that worse...

the whole family thing from Richo was pathetic, and like many have said, ask Beau Champion about the family club.....lol, what a joke

but let's look at their last couple of contracts, they had to punt Champion to eventually fit Inglis in and not be rorting, they couldn't get Issc Luke's contract sanctioned or they might be rorting.....AND now they have re-signed Sutton (rolls eyes) and Merritt to what would have to be pretty solid deals.....

so with those considerations, plus players like Taylor, Burgess, Asotasi, Crocker, etc....i don't see how they could possibly and legally offer Sandow much....??
