1)Agree there should be a salary cap discount for Juniors and for players who have played at least one year TYC with a club before NRL debut.
2) However this would not have made a difference with Sandow. It is not the cap that stops Souths keeping Sandow. At this stage Sandow has been offerred way over what Souths were willing to offer. I believe the $550k number , would be about right , as Parra were desperate to close a deal after all the negative press their recruitment team were getting.
3) Souths could have worked within CAP by having a backended contract which matched Parra deal , was longer deal say 5-6 years and counted on future cap increases in line with new TV rights. Bottom line , Souths management did not believe Sandow worth the money being offerred by Parra.
4) You should not blame Sandow , and use words like loyalty when Sandow is offered A LOT more money to play elsewhere. Lets face it , when he plays ordinary , most fans focused on his weaknesses versus his strengths and Panned him , like most other fans. How many times have we heard that Souths could not win premiership with their halves. Take yesterday , frankly , Sandow did some good things , however in the end he also may have cost us the game. He passed to Taylor , who was always going to be running into heavy traffic , when we had a clear overlap on the outside . Better vision would have resulted in a try.
Bottom line Sandow is a good half however he is not worth the money Parra are paying.
