So who would it be Sandow or Norman?

Posted by Bateau Bay Eel on April 23, 2015 at 11:01pm

If we are only able to keep one of these blokes who would it be (I think we have Norman already tied up for next year but that probably means nothing anyway) I do love Chrissy's off the cuff play but I also think that Normans ability is starting to become hard to deny. There's many pros n cons with these 2 blokes but I'm gunna go with Chrissy being the halves partner with Foran these 2 would be like the odd couple. Foran making sure the 1 per enters are getting done at 100mphr and Chrissy just doin what he does and hopefully becoming more consistent as the team grows.Norman at fullback ? It's been said he don't like it there?whats the consensus?

Norman is probably not fast enough for FB. I think BA would like both Sandow and Norman fighting out a half spot next year. Just depends on what $$$ Chrissy is willing to accept.

Sorry if I have double dipped on the previous blog. Took me a bit to get it out there

Sandow without a shadow of a doubt.

His game compiements foran, i think with foran to share the load a lot of pressure will be taken off chris, his game will go to a new level, and Coreys game is similar to Foran just a cheaper and poorer player.

Chris has the x factor Corey doesnt, hes a game winner on his day, as well as a big kicking game and he can goal kick.

Id be ok with norman going to FB, but its chrissy over norman any day to partner Foran.

  It always comes back to this but....Sandow at 14 coming on after 20 against tired forwards would be awesome.but to replace who ? Hed be no good at hooker because he needs room to move, I guess dare I say it he could be the new seffa.

  My gut says sandow too even though Corey is better this year. There is no doubt sandow has danger and X factor Corey doesn't I really want to see him with foran . I love magic , I am with you snake :-))

With our possible soon to be salary cap issues i can't see us re-signing Sandow, even if he is willing to take a paycut. Rumours are going saying Lussick is leaving, which is a good start to free up some money. Sandow leaving would be another lump sum of money in our favor.

Sandow hasn't worked out for us in four years where Norman has showed improvement. The money we would have left over from offloading both Lussick and Sandow would be a great way of getting another big signing, possibly Izzy.

  I believe we have already made an offer to Sandow which he is yet to accept. I don't think Hoppa has accepted our offer yet. I would agree Lussick will go. So we are not in a bad financial position. Whichever way you look at it we still have to sign 25 players. You can'.t just say Sandow + Lussick = Izzy because we are one player down. Far better to have Lussick = Johnston.

Norman 6 with Foran 7.

Sandow has had enough time to stand up. It's not often a club wins a premiership without a top line halfback or set of decent halves.

I'm just not happy with Sandows consistency. It's not good enough to have a couple blinders a year and play terrible the rest of the time.

Time to go chrissy.
