Sandow/Foran halves combo.

As the noise continues to get louder and louder that Kieran Foran will become Parramatta's star signing for 2016, there are rumours Chris Sandow will be squeezed out next year.However, our NRL experts believe Sandow will remain at Parramatta, forming an electrifying halves combo with the Manly superstar, leaving Eels five-eighth Corey Norman under pressure to perform."Reading between the lines I would say absolutely one of them [Sandow and Norman] has to move on," said James Hooper, on Saturday Triple M NRL.Corey Norman of the Eels in action against Manly at Pirtek Stadium last Friday Photo: Getty ImagesGirds added consistency will earn Sandow a new contract at Parramatta next season."Sandow looks fit, looks sharp and with coach Brad Arthur taking the goal-kicking duties off him, it has allowed him to concentrate on his game, steering the side around the park," said Girds.Hopper believes the halves combination of Chris Sandow and Foran would be electric."Chrissy Sandow and that long kicking game, and then the stability of Kieran at five-eighth..." added Hooper. Listen to the full audio below.Corey Norman did play fullback at the Broncos, so the Eels may look at putting Norman at the back next year, with Will Hopoate returning to centre.Girds and James Hooper on Triple M

  • I'm thinking the club may offer Chris a maximum 2 year contract at around the 500k mark. However I'm not to sure if it may be enough to ward off Super league clubs, or possibly the Sharks or Raiders who are short on halves and may want to open the coffers and offer Sandow a long term deal.
    • I think Sandow has found a home at the Eels. Seems alot of his past troubles are behind him and he is really settled in. I think he may stay loyal and remain with us... assuming we offer him something similar to his current contract.

  • Cheers miatch.
  • If we can re-sign Sandow for around $500-600k and sign Foran I'd be looking to get rid of Norman. A spine of: Hoppa, Foran, Sandow, Peats is next level stuff. Certainly much better than Norman, Foran, Sandow, Peats.

    • With De Gois nearing the end of his career I'd be curious to see what Norman could do as 14, he could slot in at the back or halves. Offer another play maker on the field to open up our options.

  • How long is Hoppa contracted till and anyone know what he's actual contract value is?

    I'd love to keep him

    • Contracted 2014/15.
      My hunch is that he's on around the 500k mark. Was reportedly on 700k
  • I think Sandow would like to stay but we may not be able to afford him.

    If he keeps up his form teams will be willing to pay a pretty penny for him.

    In truth I think I'd like to see Sandow and Norman stay together.

    I think Manly will keep Foran. They will up his offer now that DCE has gone.

    • If Parra put a reasonable offer in, he'll resign...If he wants to go for money then let him go. But i got a feeling he really likes the club and wants to stay.

  • With the cap increasing and the rumoured $$$ both DCE & Foran will be on I couldn't see Sandow re-signing for less then $700,000.

    What Parra should do is extend his contract ASAP otherwise every game he plays well the more his stocks will rise

IMO Samrani should be 1st drop for either centre/ wing if one of our starters is out. Brian Kelly is bog average and not going to get better.
