Yeah I agree though we should never have let you have Brett Hodgson we should have broken the Bank !!

| You can't judge Sandow on Bulldogs performance or lack of it , look at his assists and the tried Semi has scored ,go watch the game against manly ,he did more in that game than our halves have done all season

Plenty of work for Tony Smith to do IMO. Plenty of responsibility on Gidley's shoulders if he's playing 6 next year. You will certainly not be bored!

Exactly and we've had it done to us with Crap performances or no shows, by Andy Gregory, Iestyn Harris, and Nick Fozzard, to name but three. And once those three wangled the move out of the club they became great players for the club they went to and won lots of things.
Only Harris continued to be rather unloyal throughout his career.

Quick question, as the main playmaker how has Sandow performed in the finals/play offs at Parra and Souths?

| Interesting article but tells us nothing we haven't already grasped.
Great on his day, but can't be d on others. Blows hot and cold etc. etc.
Sounds like he'll be well suited to Superleague where there are less rigid structures and attacking flair is encouraged.

| I watch his games on Premier Sports and he is a lot more than an off the cuff player, he marshals the team around the pitch and will Bo***ck anyone who doesn't pull their weight. You don't see anything apart from the great bits that are brilliant skill on YouTube clips

The Marshman chap seemed to know all about his game. I thought he might know about Sandow in the finals series in the NRL. I thought he could be the one doing the enlightening.

Because you're just trying to fish for a negative answer? Is that why you're asking?

| It's obvious what Sandow can do and it's obvious what we need ,we are not expecting to run the team ,we need that XFactor in attack ,someone unpredictable and inventive,with skill to match ,if he develops into a leader ,great but, we have leaders and are signing more players

Nobody knows how Sandow is at playoffs rugby. In 8 seasons as a halfback, he's never led a team to the lofty heights of 8th.

For me though what Warrington miss the most is an organiser. You've got what is still a rookie hooker, a fullback/utility playing 6 (Gidley) and a maverick playing 7. Who dictates play and moves you around the park? There is a big risk Wire will be a scintillating attacking side, but still lack the smarts to win the big games.

Hardly his fault though, he plays for Parramatta. That's like someone slating a Wakefield player for never leading his side to OT.

Also had four years at Souths and never took them to the playoffs either.
Really worth reading the Aussies' views on him forums.leagueunlimited.com/showt ... 831&page=8
This is a personal favourite: "Do they have internet and phone lines in Warrington? They can access information on players, right? If so, they've got rocks in their heads.
What are the odds of Sandow, a notorious home-sick, alcoholic, inconsistent miscreant going up to the North of England, freezing his off and play his best footy? I wouldn't take 1000-1 odds if you offered them to me.
He's going to get homesick, bored, cabin fever, probably fat, and be back in a year. I'd take any odds on that."

One press conference to announce two players?
Sandow and Jack Hughes?

its worth taking a risk on a short term deal... if he doesnt settle and goes back, then he goes back.... i would rather we took a punt on someone like Sandow, than signed players like Walsh or Burns... i dont think anyone at our club wants to see that sort of signing.

What's with the hate for Walsh? He is/was a cracking player when he first came over, easily the best halfback in SL. His broken leg was a blow, but nothing we could have predicted.
