True lol.

His defense needs to improve, true - but we can cover for that well, I think.
As for his being unlikable - I love it. I, for one, think we need that sort of player; a bloke who guys love having in the team but opponents hate playing against. A Michael Ennis, if you will.
I can't understand why there are people who are upset with the signing tbh. Sure, he is rocks or diamonds a lot of the time...but when the kid is on, he's really on.
I can. Some people will just whinge about everything.
It's in their manner.
I agree with you re Sandow. What makes me more positive is the disciplined effect that Kearney may have on his game. Rocks and diamonds need polishing. Kearney is the carborundum.
Suity
Sandow is just the signing this squad as it stands needs. I don't care if he's rough, sometimes he can create something out of nothing in attack, and he actually has a kicking game.
Whether Kearney will get anything better out of him remains to be seen. All of SK's early quotes about imposing his structure on the club tell me that there won't be much skill enhancement of a livewire halfback going on in the next year or two? But coaching aside, I'm glad we have a halfback that can spark something more often than not on the back of a platform in the middle.
I don't want us to get the grubbiness or merkinness out of Sandow.
Actually I reckon it's what we've been missing. We've got too many mr nice guys.
The eels have lacked a genuine Halfback for over 20 years, cant wait to watch them play with 1 in the team.
If he began his career with us and was lime that I'd probably love it.
It's just the fact that I've hated him for so long now, playing for a club I despise, laughing at his continual incompetence.
Makes it hard to just switch like that, you know?
Of course, I reckon it was worth signing him for the reaction from Souths alone. :lol:
One could argue that there was a point in time, however briefly, that Tim Smith was a genuine half.

Definitely - his 2005 season was spectacular.
And what happened when we had a Tim Smith who could still play competently? We were minor premiers, granted we choked against the Cowboys, but we were major contenders. Will Sandow make us major contenders again? Well that remains to be seen, but I believe that he will.
It's a shame what happened to Tim. Such a waste of talent.
Is anyone worried that Sandow's nickname (on Wiki) is Kusto?
Still think we gave up too easily on that one.
But it's all in the past now. No use going over it again.

Perhaps you're right. But we will never know - what if he had done a Jamie Lyon and held us to ransom while he was out and about "deciding over his future"?
But whatever happened to him, as long as he is healthy and happy, that's all that matters.
