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

we want sandow

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.

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

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.
