  In the first half he was brilliant. Against Manly he was brilliant in patches, against Souths he was brilliant in patches, in the first half of the Cowboys game he was brilliant. I don't think anyone can deny that Sandow can play fantastic at times, but he doesn't do it consistently enough to justify being re-signed. Not even as a back-up imo. For an experienced back-up you want them to come into the first grade team and know that they can handle the defensive duties, time and time again it is proven that Sandow isn't up to the defence of first grade.

  I reckon Semi's more exciting when he's running the ball, Sandow is exciting when he's kicking the ball into touch inside the opposition's 10 metre line which he did in the opening set last night after Choc pointed to him where to kick.

  I would resign him for one yr . The sandow experiment is not over yet if we haven't seen him mix with foran . But I am a fan and there's only a few on here that want to see one more year ...

    Agree 100% Carloeel. If Foran wasn't coming I would not resign Sandow, but I think these 2 will be a perfect halves partnership.

    I agree but if the rumours are true then the writings on the wall.

    His consistency is debated endlessly yet he's 6th in the Dally M's.

    Sums up how I feel about him sometimes.

    x4 agree Carlo

    If he was the only one responsible for us being at the bottom of the table, or the only one that dropped the ball, gave away dumb penalties, missed tackles, didn't attempt a tackle, put in a shitty kick or didn't play to structure  ... I'd say no though!

  If we end up resigning Sandow( which I doubt we will) you would be best served to bring him on after 15 odd minutes. Keep him away from those opening exchanges and bring him on when his talents can be better utilised. It would help with his defence being fresher at the back end of the game and give him a feel for that particular match,helping with his game management. If this is something you'd look at undertaking Particually next year when Foran arrives we could start an extra forward, going with Mau, Scott, Watmough and Tepai. Although we'd lose a little attack it would certainly stiffen up our edges. Although you can't win the game in the first twenty some of our starts have ensured a loss. Something to thing about. It's never a bad idea to have a strike weapon on the bench.

  I would resign sandow if he took a pay cut but I cant wait to see how Norman/Foran go or Foran/Norman I think Norman starting to show what's he got to offer  as a 5/8

  He's certainly not the right bloke to guide our team around the park but he can be used in another role. Foran will guide the side next year if Sandow stays it will be a completely different role to the one he currently inhabits within the side. Impact bench player I beleive is where his future lies if retained.
