Rumoured Signings and Even More Crap X

Sam Williams defence is worse then Sandow's

 

[hineyrulz]

Beg to differ

Manly offered him a huge contract and we had Mortimer breaking through and robbo as the grand final halves (yes ironic they didn't work out more so morts)

James Maloney is the one that got away

But no point dwelling on it

If sandow goes I just hope we have a half in line

We lost both of them at the end of 08, Mortimer hadn't even played first grade then. We decided to let both go and pay Finch a 3 year massive deal :crazy:

Is that even possible???

You reckon you can get an NRL halfback for less than $500k? Not in this brave new world.

If Sandow's contract is heavily backloaded which I heard it was he won't be going anywhere. I heard it was something like $750k a season for the last 2 years. So at $500k for Hodkinson we would be saving money however who in their right mind would give Sandow anywhere near $750k? This is the reason why I think Stuart is angry. Sandow will be getting as much as the coach in 2014 and 2015. .

Ah ok

Well either way hodkinson had a big contract from manly but I think Maloney was the real one that got away as he went to Melbourne and I'm sure it would've been on a small contract

 

[natheel]

Best option would be to keep sandow and see how he goes behind an improved pack next year and also with some decent backs to be with hayne and Morgan in Hoppa and norman

 

[EelsFan05]

Souths as a whole were shit back then - Dave Taylor and Sam Burgess at edge forward meant their defence was too weak to cover Sandow. And Inglis was stuck out at centre.

Surprise surprise you disagree. Sandows record of playing in zero final games speaks for itself.

If Sandow's contract is backloaded like that wouldn't that mean we're only paying him 50k per year this year and last year.

 

[Bigfella]

Lol

 

[Chipmunk]

Hodkinson would struggle behind our pack too

Put sandow with a five eight that can actually control the game and let chris do his own thing

Well we are committed to Norman playing five-eight, who from what I have seen isnt that type of player, so what do you want them to do? Buy a different player to play 6?

That's rubbish

No it is not

If this is true about the back ending of Sandow then that was ridiculous

No but hopefully Ricky will help Norman with that. Look on the money sandow is on we can't offload him as noone will want him and we still won't be able to purchase another 7. So best to stick with him and see how he and Norman go

If its true, I say SK should be stamped, never to coach in the nrl again. The board shouldn't of allowed such a signing, no wonder they got punted.

f**k me.

At the moment we dont appear to have much choice but I think we will remain a bottom 4 side with Sandow at 7.

Nobody would give him that much, which is why he won't be getting that much.

The person who told me would know unless of course he is lying.

 

[Kiwi]

I'd take Sandow at the Broncos, not on the sort of money the eels threw at him, but he would work well in an impact role off the bench with Wallace and Hunt in our halves.

Well, unless someone outright lied to Stuart about the terms of Sandow's contract (or the total amounts already committed to salaries for each year), he's got no right to be angry. Before signing on, surely he checked this out? Why would sign to coach a team without full knowledge of the amount of your future salary cap that is already committed?

It doesn't surprise me that Sandow's contract is heavily backended....have a think about the last few days before he signed....on again / off again....there's no way we could have upped the $$ offered for 2012, so any increased offers almost certainly would have been deferred cash.

Why couldn't we?
