F*CK, I really wish he doesn't go. I'm not sold on Kelly at all. I feel he's been made to be the scape goat here, admittingly, I'm not across his off-field issues.

Its only speculation, but i think he has been naughty

no speculation please. it is a serious matter for everyone concerned.

This site and TheFilthySpammers feed off rumour and innuendo..

I hope it stops because its not doing this club any good

As much as I don't want him to go (I'd like to see how he goes next to Norman)
I think with his issues and the way our club is going we probably went the right environment for him at the moment. I like Sandow and enjoyed him in the blue and gold (if he goes)

I hope Wallace is lined up actually. With Hayne and Norman with him I think he will go well

His defence is diabolical, but I don't think he's been as bad as he's been made out to have been. He's certainly dangerous when he runs the ball, and his long kicking game is second to none IMO.

I hope we keep him, but I hope we help him first.

Why? Because they worked so well together in Brisbane??

If Sandow goes and we are left with Kelly, who to my disappointment hasn't kicked in to where I would have liked, we are back behind it once again.

We will probably sign Braith Anasta to play halfback.

He did work well with Norman in 2012.

I certainly think on his last couple of games prior to being dropped he wasnt that bad. Given what has come out Im guessing that his dropping may have nothing to do with his performance on the field anyway. Especially with Sticky saying what he told Sandow to work on when dropped is "confidential".

I hope we get to see the best of Chris behind a better forward pack next year. He just needs time and space to do his thing. However, he cannot be relied up to lead us around the park.

I think No. 14 may be his best position - he can be our new super sub.

I agree.

I'd say I only have two crocuses of Chris:

(1) not getting enough repeat sets (which is hard);

(2) not running the ball enough.

Otherwise, I think he has been good. He certainly can create spark in our attack.

Yeah I agree sandow hasnt been to bad this year behind a poorly performing pack and the last few games his defence hasn't been to bad.

So apart from some off field issues maybe sandow was dropped for not following Ricky's game plan. On Friday night while we were crap there was an obvious game plan to the spread the ball and attack the dogs on the wings. Apart from Some lack of class/execution by the our backs we could have got a couple tries. Now it was Kelly's role as our halfback to execute this game plan which I think he did well at doing.

Maybe that is one of sandows issues he aren't following Ricky's plan.

If he has future at the Eels I could only ever see him being a 14, as he is not a No 7 for us. Even an average no 7 like Kelly has proven that, and before someone blames our pack, Kelly is playing behind the same crappy pack.

Then the question has to be asked, should we be paying a No 14 half a million a year ?
