What do you expect from Chris Sandow in 2012?

Ideally, I expect Sandow to provide us with that missing link in the back-line, that we've lacked for a good number of years now.
With his creative ability, and strong all-round game, I also expect him to create a fairly high number of opportunities, based on his flamboyant style of play, as well as his half-breaks that he does so well to sniff out.

Overall, I expect him to be the half that can be the answer to our problem in the halves, and I've no doubt that he can be.

I think Kearneys coaching future is in the hands of Sandow. If Sandow doesn't work out next year and the eels go like busteds again, the knives will be out for SK.

But I reckon he will work out. All he has to do is keep playing the way he has been this year for Souffs.

Depends how the rest of the team go around him - will Hayne allow him to run the show for example?

He will win us games on his own but will also will also lose us games.

Hayne has only taken control of the attack because no-one else could do it.

I expect Hayne and Sandow to become the most dangerous combination in the game - I also expect them to combine to score one of the best tries of the year.

Also, I reckon Hayne could be a smokie for the Daily M next year, he will really relish tghe opportunity to focus on him self and not trying the steer the side around.

I expect Sandow to win the Nobel Peace Price and Hayne to bring world Peace and walk on water in his spare time.

I expect him to take a couple of games to settle in and for many fans to show him the door and hand us the spoon after round one if we don't win the first game. After that I expect him to perform thereabouts where he did this year and throw egg on those fans faces. I think Hayne will still play a similar role to the one he did this year and he and Roberts in particular will be used alot for set plays. I think this is what Ben Roberts needs in particular - to know and have rehearsed exactly what he is going to do to build his confidence and some consistency in his game. Sandow will be given some free reign to do what he does best with his ad lib style of play and this is when I see Hayne chiming in when he senses an opportunity on the fly or at least keep the defense in two minds.
I think the best person to have Sandow next to in defense is Ben Smith. If he performs the way he did this year he will once again be the best one on one defender in our side. Bare in mind I'm far from an expert on the tactical side of the game and I'm content to be completely wrong.
