[Resurrected] Chris Sandow

[castle eagle]

as i said in another thread he only plays well when he is due for a contract so if you signed him on a 1 year contract you would get the best out of him, but give him 2 or more years & you will get what parra have had for the last 3 years

We should throw big bucks at Sandow and Hopoate.

Stewart, Hiku, Hopoate, Matai, Gutherson, Lyon, Sandow

Sandow is a garden gnome and should be banished to an eighty year olds front lawn.

I'm not saying he's what we need at Manly but if you look at his early career at Souths he was a cracker of a player. When he was fat, gambling and battling personal demons of course he was rubbish.
Last year he started getting back to form and is doing okay this year. As @mozgrame said, credit where it's due. I always admire the little players as it takes guts for them to run on week in week out against behemoths like the Burgi.

Orford was also a garden gnome - who won premierships. So, too Sterling and many others. That being said, I don't want him at Manly.

He was ordinary in round 2 against the dogs round 3 against the warriors . Two good games do not make a season feathered friends

Sounds good to me. I'm off to Bunnings to sign us a couple of players.

And our own Toovey was 7ft tall and 100kg ?

He played his entire career like he was, you forgot the most important bit.......every game.

If the interchange is reduced Sandow will become more effective.

Agree. The running halfback will be back in vogue. Will be good for the game.

That may be why we are said to be interested in Albert Kelly.

Yep. New rules will definitely suit his style of game.
Apparently had a blinder in the Superleague overnight.

In the superleague being the operative words.

 

[Loobs]

Are we though? We're "interested" in everyone but don't seem to be doing much signing...

 

[mozgrame]

Jeez you blokes kick and buck about nothing. No wonder you all spaz out over news paper stories. Who said anything about him coming here?? A troll....and you all carry on like.....

Well you gave me no choice but to like that one @mozgrame 😀

Sandow`s talents are determined by his mood, which tends to swing wildly 😎

Thats why hi missed out on Rep Honours

Yeah I can't believe he had a **** game after his Aunty died!
Anyway he's just resigned with the eels so there goes that fairly tail.

 

[Manly honor]

Nah, he had a good one against us. But that'll do him for the year. The warriors showed all that is wrong in Sandows game. I suspect that might have been what Luke was alluding too. (Not that I wasn't hoping for Sandow to jump up and clock that Luke).😡

He had a death in the family mate when he played the warriors, give him a break.
He played well last night and he played well against us!

My comments relate to his whole career not just the Warriors game.🙄
Sandow was given the option to stand down for the game, he chose to play so has to accept the criticism.

The fairy tale of Sandow to Manly was in the Media's head - no Manly Supporter wanted him at our Club 😎
