Early tip: Sandow won't see out his contract

Bennett made them comments without ever really coaching Samdow. Everyone makes mistake even you and Bennett. Why is it that another young halfback with less experience then Sandow has leap frogged him into the QLD origin sqaud?

Tim Smith was a good halfback until he suffered with personal issues that affected his football.

The fact the Sandow has been dropped from a team that is on its way to winning its second straight wooden spoon is enough evidence for me. If he was any good he'd be an automatic pick week in week out. However conditioning and play are always a subject of debate. But anyhow continue on with you arguments. Apparently you are more informed then blokes that are on 800k coaching contracts. It's a wonder you haven't got a gig yet.

Change the hooker and compete in the ruck. We don't compete in the ruck and we have shit service from hooker.

I tend to agree with these thoughts, I think we need to get a specific type of hooker, one who can also provide some direction around the field, which is something we dont have on the field at the moment. I have watched Kevin Kingston closely recently, even when Segeyaro is on they quite often have Kingston on the field and he appears to be doing alot of directing of people around the field. I think he could be handy for us for a season or two.

Losing the ruck has been a problem for 10 years or more. Needs to be fixed ASAP.

How many games does Poo actually see in person, rather then watching on television, to know as much as he does?

You get a better view on television, plus you get commentary from people who know the game.

At the game you hear the kind of shit you merkins carry on with. Thirty years attending games and still think Hayne would be better at inside centre.

Because you can see poor defenders. You can't see organising just like you can't see coaching.

Derp.

Of course you can see good organisation just as much as you can see a disorganised team I.e. us.

How did you come to the conclusion that Kearney was a good coach if you can't see coaching? This is one if your best theories Pou.

Stuart up to his old ways ? Dropping half backs ? I can live with sandow being dropped but seriously how many games this year has sandow had the opportunity to play behind a forward pack that won the battle in the middle ?

Kelly at half back? - it was only a few weeks ago everyone was happy to see him get cut from the squad/side and from reports played pretty poor on the weekend.

I would have preferred Roberts dropped and Kelly / sandow as our halves combo.

What a dumb thing to say. You actually see more on tele and can analyse it better on the screen. You trying to be a better fan than Pou?

The big question here is how to you make him fit into the set up here to get the best out of him?

You get a stronger pack, some good right side defenders, and a 'five-eighth' who plays well at first receiver.

Sticky seems to be chasing all of those things, and a couple are already on their way for next year.

Yeah that's what I'm trying to do Suity. Never mind that I'm of the opinion that you get a completely different perception of a game from being at the field then watching on the tele. But I suppose that might be a bit to simplistic.

We could move him to the left in defense for something different. I think Norman could play either side.

I think Norman and Sandow could prove to be an effective halves pair if they get to play behind a strong pack next year.

not necessarily ... you get to see more of what the director wants you to see ... you don't get to see what's happening off the ball - what players are in/out of position, who's putting in effort or loafing, etc etc
