Parramatta Clear Sandow For Use Of Shoulder Charge

CHRIS Sandow's shoulder charges used to give Souths coach John Lang sleepless nights, but at Parramatta the newly-arrived halfback has been cleared to continue smashing players twice his size.Eels coach Stephen Kearney said the high-risk shoulder charge could at times inspire his teammates.Star fullback Jarryd Hayne quipped he would try to help Sandow fine-tune the shoulder that featured on many NRL highlights reels."Sometimes it's not so much about pulling it off, but it's the reaction he gets from his teammates," Kearney said"The bloke is knee-high to a grasshopper, but he's trying to inspire, and I've got no dramas with [doing it], but given it's the right time and place."When he's trying to do it to front-rowers, that's the competitive nature in him. He doesn't want to get run over the top of or beaten, and that's his way of doing it."RELATED COVERAGEFree-spirited Sandow a 'natural' player The Australian, 1 hour agoNRL trials injury wrap FoxSports, 7 hours agoSandow cleared of concussion Herald Sun, 1 day agoSandow takes a punt on Parramatta Courier Mail, 1 day agoSandow sickened as Tigers fire Herald Sun, 1 day agoSandow was concussed during Saturday's trial against the Wests Tigers but it was not from an attempted shoulder charge.He was cleared to play in Friday's final hitout at Penrith - alongside Hayne and Nathan Hindmarsh - and said his shoulder charge was impossible to flick from his playbook."Sometimes you know when to do it and when not do it.
