with Sandow costing us so much we will have to use the remaining cap space wisely. As Morts is still on contract for a decent sum, I don't think we will go after any big names for 5/8, if anyone at all.
Maybe if Reni finds his best form he would be an option.
speaking of Reni when is he able to join the team , obviously Wenty will be his first stop
Undoubtedly Mortimer will be given first crack. It would be interesting to see how he would go with Sandow at 7, and whether SK would use them as a left/right pairing or have Sandow as primary playmaker. I sure hope its the latter.
..and his natural game is what ???

They didn't chase him to play 2nd fiddle behind Mortimer.... who do you think will be calling the shots?? Moron!! :crazy:

Two weeks tomorrow (19th).
I saw an interview with SK recently. He said "from what he is told ;-)" that Reni is in the peak of his fitness and "from what he is told ;-)" has being doing ballwork and defensive work.
My structure would be:
1. Hayne
2. Burt
6. Mortz
7. Sandow
Within our own half, it is more or less Forward hitouts so Casey can control that.
Clearing kicks would involve Hayne and Sandow.
Inside the opposition half, Sandow to be the main ball player on both side of the field.
Mortz plays a supporting role ala Morris for Tim Smith.
Since Sandow can also run to the line, he has the option of using Hayne and sometimes Burt as the 2nd man play.
Mortz to follow Sandow around and/or support Hayne providing Hayne with a short option as well as a long pass optin.
Mortz to chase kicks everywhere.
He will be the Jack Russell of the team and hence, we will finally see the best of Mortz and use his best assets.
Plenty better than that pretender Mortimer. In 30 years of watching I don't think I've ever seen a more hyped, less talented player than Mortimer continue to get a run in first grade, aside from Daniel Fitzhenry. in buying Sandow the Eels are condemning themselves unless they buy an outstanding five eight.Any good 5/8ths running around in the local RL comp in Shanghai?
??Please, PLEASE take the cap burglar.
Would love to see you guys get Widdop, he is classy
