Does anyone remember Kelly's last game for the Storm before he signed with us? The Storm were behind and needed a try to win and it was the last set of the game. Kelly got the ball and grubbered it straight to the opposition and they lost the game. It always stuck with me. I think alot of Eels fans confused lack of flair and attack with being "cool and composed".
I wouldn't give up on Sandow yet. At least he's shown he can do something. If he's surrounded by a better team I still think he can be a valuable contributor.
Sam Williams from Canberra?
Sandow effort against the Titans centres was pathetic, he barely moved up in the line and just gave up.
What the halves need to do is communicate and tell the players to stand a bit deeper instead of throwing these stupid flat passes.
I've now also given up on Kelly.
The great promise he showed in Storm's Toyota Cup has not carried over to NRL.
With shoulder charge outlawed Sandow has almost nothing to offer in defense.
We should be going all out for DCE if there is any glimmer of light coming through a door slightly ajar at Manly.
Otherwise, we go after Sam Tomkins in the UK.
Even if we got DCE we'd find a way to make him sh!t.
Otherwise, we go after Sam Tomkins in the UK.
Tomkins is a fullback, not a halfback.
Plus there's no way we could afford him considering the amount he's reported to want being close to $1,000,000 a year.
He won't get 1 mill, more likely 600k or thereabouts, and he can play 7 or 6.
Fortunately, Stuart has plenty of rounds left this year to now blood and condition all our best juniors for next year. With our juniors getting plenty of match practice this year, we may as well accept the spoon now and focus on a massive leap up the ladder next year.
1979, St George had Bath's Babe's - next year we'll have Ricky's Kid's winning the premiership.
