GOOD HALFBACKS

Posted by IH8Manly & IEspeciallyH8Qld on March 23, 2014 at 7:45pm

What makes a good halfback?

In short, a good halfback inspires his team.

How? He gives the attack options, and takes the right option. He also has the ability to occasionally spark the attack with some individual brilliance.

Kelly has none. Sandow, despite his deficiencies, does. He can create a line break, a chip and regather or a 40/20.

Kelly couldn't inspire a fly on a doggie doo.

It's time.

    Before Kelly I would rather anyone he is useless and can't pass for crap
  • ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER March 23, 2014 at 7:56pm

    we want sandow

  • IH8Manly & IEspeciallyH8Qld March 23, 2014 at 8:01pm

    Kelly is slow. Sandow has some zip.

    Sandow and Peats played together at Souths. They could combine well here.

    Sandow can kick goals.

    It's gotta happen.

    100% sandow has to play, I don't understand how Kelly gets picked he has nothing to offer and tries to avoid tackling, at least sandow puts his body there
  • Alan Hunt March 23, 2014 at 8:09pm

    Sandow at least offers something, sure he is a liability in defence but Kelly is hardly a Jeff Robson in defence.

    But Sandow has some toe, good kicking game and can kick goals.  Kelly offers nothing besides Blowies for the coach.

    • Frank The Tank > Alan Hunt March 23, 2014 at 10:07pm

      Cant just be blowies. There`s gotta be some slurping going on too.

  • Bocsta March 23, 2014 at 10:13pm
    I'm thinking we are abit stronger and committed in defense this year.we could probably hide Sandow easier

    ... are everything Luke Kelly is not.

    Kelly has had his chances. I don't recall him attacking the line once v Manly. He's no threat to the opposing team. Enough is enough.
