Fat Sandow sent to NSW Cup

I think he's been singled out moreso for his lack of fitness than being singled out as the only player in poor form.

I'd say if Willie Tonga was not playing his best footy and was visibly overweight and being paid a bloody FORTUNE he'd be running off some of the fat for Wentworthville too.

You want the money Sandow, get into the shape of an elite athlete. If he spits the dummy about it then it says EVERYTHING about the makeup of the bloke.

I say good on Kearney for it. Ultimately it will earn him more respect than it will lose him.

Look at it from Sandow's view, you have to play club footy in the weekend while the rest of your team takes a break with family and friends. I for one would be p*ssed if that happened to me. 1/2 million salary and the coach chucks me in reserve grade…. That's no way to treat a super star...

If the Michelin Man is a superstar perhaps he needs to train like one, play like one and act like one. Then he might be kicking back like the rest of his team mates.

A week of training and 80 minutes of game time is better than 2 plane rides and 3 days on the drink.

Maybe Kearney wants him to go walkabout.

Realised he made a mistake and tear his contract up.

Kearney clearly only knows what he's plagiarised off Bellamy. That sort of system is built up over years and you've got to recruit it to it too. Paying massive overs for a confidence player like Sandow doesn't fit the model.

Kearney has no clue. Worrying signs were starting after that shithouse first year, which was 'rebuilding' or something.

I don't think there's any doubt there's a loss of confidence in the coach.

super stars come in all shapes and sizes. Don't hate on him just because he's a little chubby...

willie tonga should be there too cause IMO he is overweight and under performing atm and another game is what he needs

That's all well and good, but what kind of attitude is that? I'd be f**king disgusted if that was his attitude, and particularly if I was an Eels fan. No club will want him if that's his attitude.

Sandow was in shape last season - he was thin and fit. It's not hard to see that all he's done in the off season is sit around with his mountains of cash and hit the drink hard.

If you're getting paid $550,000 per year, you owe it to your friends, family, fans and yourself, to be in the best possible physical condition you can be in, and be playing at the very top of your game, or at least be striving to. If you aren't, then go get a job at the local council. (No offence to anyone who works for the council)

Who at Parramatta gets paid that much?

The entire entity.

Suggesting there is higher paid.

I think everyone is a bit harsh on Sandow he has the talent, if it was just him you could understand the scrutiny but it seems like there are a few players in the same boat and for that you can only blame the coach.
If Parra had a decent coach they wouldn't be unfit and playing like shit. Kearney must have gone to the same coaching school as Furner. They don't have a game plan or they can't get the players to buy into it.
If Bellamy were Parra's coach they would be world beaters

I think it's a little harsh singling out 1 player when most of the team look like they aren't even trying. Yeah they paid massive overs for him but now that they have him i think this is a dumb move. There are plenty of players at parra playing a lot worse than him.

Remember the 550k figure came from a butthurt Rusty. Try 400k. Sure, he aint playing like a 400k player, but who apart from hayne, and anyone on 60k - is earning their keep?

This will either make or break him, I hope he takes it like a man and plays to his ability which is way above NSW cup

Eels are a joke and a fkn rabble. You let Sandow get overweight. NO player will sign there now, look what it does to your career.
