well we've been linked to Seijka and Luke Kelly from Storm is off contract

Whoever it is...
Like menitoned, Sandow is the best availabe; if you look at his age, his skill level and potential...he could be a very good player...
But if we dont get him...we need to bite the bullet again and go with youth, but at the same time stick with them a la mortimer...
Only problem with morts, he hasn't had the pleasure of a guiding hand to help him out! Hence why we need Hayne in the Halves; not so much for his attacking power...but more so the pressure can be taken off the rookie...

Half time entertainment will be interesting.

What.... sitting amongst a lot of "jerks"! :shock:

If we don't get Sandow, I'd be signing Kelly from Storm

Would've rathered the club chased him in the first place specially seeing the way he dominated a Q Cup game this year. Cheaper option with plenty of upside.

Domination at Junior levels doesn't mean anything!
With Sandow, he is proven to have the capability to dominate at NRL level. Yes he has flaws in his game, but with experience and maturity he could be a rep player!
At least with Sandow you know he can handle the NRL....Kelly is an unknown! But like i said, if we miss out on Sandow and go with someone like Kelly, i hope the club does some restructuring to assure they give the rookie every chance to prosper!

Lowe resigns due to ill health.

Hoppa still a free agent...

 

[SDM]

Strike now, they dont have a boss

Last I heard Q Cup wasn't junior football but senior football. Secondly it didn't hurt Manly who pulled Hodkinson or Cherry-Evans from there did it

Manly have Foran, who is both in form and one of the best youngsters running around!

Im not saying it's a negative thing, signing a player like Kelly. Im just saying at this point in time...Sandow has more runs on the board and is the better prospect!
I know one thing, if we sign a player like Kelly or promote Murray...we will be in the same position next year if mortimer is player next to them! No disrespect to Mort's...but he does not have the ability to take the pressure away from a rookie player and we with our current roster we can all see the result of this i.e. Robson/Mortimer!

I agree, cheaper option and go all out for Hopa

 

[SDM]

Dont admit to understanding Casper.

Yep. If we go down that route...then someone like Hoppa is a must! Move hayne to 5/8th!
Problem will be if we do go after a rookie and leave Mortimer...it will be the blind leading the blind....again!

 

[Twizzle]

we just got the media release, it aint Hoppa

 

[Gronk]

I asked Rothfield about Sandow ...

The last I heard about that situation is that it is a pretty much done deal.

Again with the right players it's not a problem if they are good enough, again using Manly as an example both Hodkinson & Foran were rookies last year. That didn't hurt then

No, I asked him what he knew about Sandow / Eels.

He responded with:-

EDIT: Oh you mean the Rothfield jinx ? Haha, I hope not.

 

[boxhead]

I guess it's just wait and see at the moment, but with Rusty in the picture I'm not very confident.

A surprise that the Manly announcement wasn't about Hoppa :?
