Well Sandow is not worth 500K, is he worth 500K to parramatta? that is arguable but we do need a halfback.
Kearney has identified a player he want and they are going hard, we can not question our management if they are being proactive about recruitment even if we don't agree.
In the scheme of things if we sign Sandow on 300K compared to 500K we are loosing a 250K player. That could mean signing a couple of untested jnr (like L.Kelly) instead of a Widdop or it could mean dropping out of the race for big name (like Blair) and going for a mid range player (Dwyer) - on a side note the names I am using are only examples.
At the moment our pack (esp front row) is very good, we have great depth there. Our backrow is full of inexperience apart from hindy and most players could go either way (Lasalo, Horo and Benny). Our backs are thin, esp if we loose reddy but we do have some exciting juniors who could do well after some experience.
No one knows exactly how much $$ we have left, it was suggested this year we had over 1-1.5million in our cap. With the expected loss of Reddy plus a host of other players (Walker, Hicks etc) then we may have 2mil and if Kearney can build a good squad around Sandow and Hayne with the money then its worth it. If we are going to have a backline of 32 year old farts who can't tackle and need a wheel chair to get the ball over the line then no thanks.
