Sandow to Eels for Rumoured 550k

[jackb]

I love Chris but he is worth nothing like 550K/season. It is impossible for a half to look good when playing behind a poor forward pack and parra struggles in the forwards. They have hindy and fui fui but noone else in their forwards to dominate. I fear for Chris, and I mean it, not any sour grapes on my part.

 

[boo_boo]

reported as a 4 year deal for just over $1.6mil.
Rusty and Richo being classless and childish in there replies, Rusty not used to being told no i think.
Rusty tweeting $550k a year is just to take pressure off himself and the club as he got away trying to say they couldn't match the money. Richo saying he met his Alan Bond is very below the belt. Bond being the criminal and all.
Good to see you fans aren't as classless as the bloke running it.

Well Richo is doing allright for himself so maybe he has met his Alan Bond in the form of Rusty & HaC.
Double standards.

As a shit load of other posters on various Souths forums have said and I agree,if it is truly 550k a season,I would have drove him out to Paramatta myself.

Disappointing as i thought he was really improving his game, still needs a lot of work on his laziness and tackling.

Good luck to him though.

So what are our options for next year? Adam Reynolds, Craig Gower? Wouldn't want Reynolds as the number half as he;s untested in the top grade. Gower isn't the answer either.

Who else is available? Beau Henry if Darius goes to Knights and Gidley goes into the halves.

Zig,I reckon it would be insane to expect Adam Reynolds to step up after having this whole season out,definately need another half to mentor him.

Hey! What about Mannah? He's a champ. Though I am biased

It's only a short term fix but I'd be happy to have Finch while we worked on Reynolds a bit more

They could well go that way.

I agree that Richo's comment is very low Boo Boo.

Can't believe a CEO would stoop to saying that in the media...

 

[Ziggy the God]

Richo shows again how unprofessional he is with that comment. Time for him to go after he apologises for that petulant statement.

In terms of Sandow, good luck to the kid, who can blame him for taking that kind of coin.

He is a good young player that I wanted us to keep, but he is not worth 400 to 500k in the cap.

 

[Wobbygong]

I still can't believe you let sandow go and kept the useless sloth sutton. Especially given true halfbacks are as rare as hens teeth? I bet the amount wasn't 550k that's Crowe trying to justify missing his signature.

 

[cleary89]

Glad you guys agree about richos statment. Imagine if Bennett did go there and he had to deal with amatuers like that. Oh and the owner tweeting how much someone earns. Pretty embarrasing imo.

Richo is a poor example of how a senior member of management of our club should act.

I can't disagree with any of that unfortunately.

 

[Zigwaa]

Yep agree, stupid comment from Richardson, hypocritical too.

 

[Fiddy]

To be fair didnt sandow continually say he is staying at souths and how he owes them so much for everything they did for them? I would wager that he even was set to sign with souths even up to as of yesterday (That's what the media thought as well) and has down a turn around due to a large last ditch offer from parra and Richo/Rusty are just taken aback.

Just a theory anyway

 

[Nemesis]

lol@squeels getting into a bidding war for Sandow and having to pay massive overs for him.
They did the exact same thing with Mortimer and the Dogs and hasn't that worked out so well for them.
Congrats Parra.... you're now the official laughing stock of the league.

 

[boxhead]

It's not 550K per season, it's 400K per season over 4 years. Not only is Rusty being an idiot for trying to publicise his salary, but he got it wrong too. And Richardson....I'm sorry, but he is an absolute w*nker.

 

[whats up doc]

My sadness has now turned to anger. Why the feck did we sign Sutton before Sandow? Even before Sandow hit form, he was showing more effort and skill than Sutton, let alone now when he looks like he'll be heading towards the prime of his career. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!
