win-win for sandow..

increase in pay and now a shot at winning the title during his career..

Parra had their chance to win a title in the last few years and blew it, they choked in the most gutless manner and with the Storm and Broncos having been rebuilt it will be a decade or more before they ever get near it again.

It's 400K per season for 4 years, definitely overs but what do you do? Club needs a halfback and it highlights the lack of quality halfbacks these days.

Oh dear - looks like Cronulla will easily go past 60 years as premiership virgins.

Hagan started the rot. We warned you. No Billionaire and WB for you though.

Fui is good for 20 mins
Mannah is ok
Poore....please.
Shack...avg
Horo...meh
Hindmarsh....career is at the end

If the pack was so good then they would not be where they are now. Sandow has his work cut out for him. He will have as much pressure there than he had at souffs....even more so possibly.

Funny that, Fui played 50 minutes against the Titans and racked up over 150 metres. His average minutes is closer to 40 than 20.
Mannah is being talked about by many, not just Eels fans, as one of the best props in the game at the moment.
Poore was crap for us for half a year then very good for us for half a year, not worth 400K but definitely a decent-good prop.
Shackleton's more a back-rower than a prop, but he's pretty serviceable there too.
Horo's our most highly rated junior of the past few years, he's out of form this year but he was brilliant last year.
Hindmarsh is Hindmarsh and always will be Hindmarsh.

Our pack has been crap this year overall, but service from individuals such as Mannah, Moi Moi and Allgood has helped.

Frankly, if I was to look at our pack (the ones that have had regular game-time) over the season, it would be;

Very good
Mannah
Moi Moi

Good
Allgood
Hindmarsh

Alright
Shackleton
Lasalo
Horo

Bad
Smith

I'm being a bit generous though, considering that Lasalo and Allgood are relative rookies, and that we love seeing the Shack finally play.

Mannah is so over-rated.

Don't get me wrong, solid player & seems like a nice guy.

But he only played Origin because he's a media darling.

you dont think it had anything to do with our opposition being about a gazillion dollars over the salary cap

Pointless signing.
Waste of f**king money actually.
Would have been better off going after Nathan Long, who I am told is almost back from injury.
