Sandow to Eels for Rumoured 550k

[brokendigit]

To those who are moaning about Richo referring to "Sandow having found his Alan Bond", it's got nothing to do with Bond being a crook.
Bond was famous for buying the Nine network from Packer for $1 Billion in 1987, and then selling it back to him for around half a billion, just 3 years later.
It was the classic "paying overs" - to the tune of about $500 million.

souths are the ones who stuffed up

why sign sutton before sandow ?

good halfbacks are hard to find....

brokendigit,

We all know what that phrase meant.

It's just that there was no reason why Richo had to come out in the media and say it - it just wreaks of 'sore loser'.

There was no need for it.

Very amateurish from a CEO....

Yeah we get it, how many of us now have said the same.

What do you want to do about it, burn our memberships?

 

[Galeforce]

I agree with signing Sutton and Merrit first. Imagine circus to sign Sandow with ability to increase our price further and then trying to sign Sutton/Merritt or their replacements .
No Blame pointing , Management got it right and Sandow is good but NOT worth the money required to have kept him.

 

[Rabbitohs6]

Sandow won't be all we have next year, all we need is two good outside backs and we are done. we have one of the best forward packs in the game, not to mention a handy fullback ;-)

Your side has nothinggg ! without Hayne and Hindmarsh, the rest are rubbish. yous have no clue about spending money. Sandow for 2 mill over seasons ? bahahaha. Enjoy mate, you can have him. and your forward pack is shithouse besides Hindy. Ben Smith, Justin Horo, Taniela Lasalo, Fui, Tim Mannah ? lol !

Sandows not worth $550K, good luck to Parra

 

[jason taylor]

Fui and Tim Mannah are shit?

And it's 1.6 mill over 4 years.

 

[300]

Name another first grade halfback on the market? Nobody now that Sandow has signed....Souffs will be stuff with the worldbeater Finch...lol Joke is on you now....

 

[Zadar]

looks like a big sign that they might want to use inglis at 5/8 maybe now?

 

[SaraSassypants]

Fui and Tim Mannah are shit?

Even 400k is overs :lol:

 

[hindyrabbit]

biggest loss since ian roberts.
craig wing not included as we were excluded
there are still plenty of options though just sad to see one of our loved rabbits leaving.
good luck sandow tackling inglis and taylor next year
there are still plenty of options out there for souths albert kelly, brett seymour lets see what macguire decides

Some one said that good half backs are hard to find, Sandow isn't one of them. $550 a season, Parra have signed him with their heart not their head. The bloke has won lotto.

It's an interesting argument re how much Sandow is worth. First hrudle is whether or not it is on the cap, or combination cap and 3rd party. We have no evidence to suggest the ratio at the moment. What makes me curious is what south's would value Sandow at if they had the spare cash parra has.....any thoughts

 

[Stand And Be Counted]

A painfull amount of money....

 

[Nemesis]

No, sorry arsemonkey, its still you.

LOL@50uff$

No, sorry fudgepacker, squeels will hand over the laughing stock baton to you in 2012... Enjoy choking on the spoon next year, St Gillawarra.

lol@DEAD V

 

[Stand And Be Counted]

Would rather sign Thurston or Cronk.

 

[tbunny]

what shits me is that this all happens halfway through the season. they have to get rid of this June 30 deadline

 

[hindy111]

As announced by Russell Crowe on his twitter. Sorry but I need to say LOL at Parra. How desperate can you be? We got Inglis for about the same amount. I know who I'd rather have. With proven rep talent.. Eels are the laughing stock of the league right now

Im a Parra fan and im smiling.Russel you once again have embarrased yourself....
Firstly to lie about your own players contract on twitter you twit.
Yes maybe parra did pay 100K more than he is worth.But use guys paid Ingliss 200 more than he is worth and backstabbed your own jnr to do it.
At the same price as what use paid Asotasi - Bought with bung knees.5 games a year.Do you find that funny?

Instead of loking after your juniors use had to chase the big guns.And when the oppostite happend to you? lets have a cry.
And yes we are desperate for a halfback and we got our MAN.
WELCOME ABOARD CHRIS SANDOW

ps- use can always give gower a call-heard he wants a gig

Richo spoke the truth. It has nothing to do with being a sore loser or lacking professionalism, he simply called a spade a spade... and good on him.


If people can't handle the truth they need to harden the f**k up
