Wow, someone actually sees it.


And Sandow having arrogance is one thing Sheldon, being a cheap shot merchant is another, he'll never get anywhere near a rep jumper.

Sandow has his moments of brilliance and can score and create exceptional tries when he's on form. But he's like a batsman who relies on reflexes rather than technique - when the going gets tough his game tends to fall apart. His last tackle decision making (and execution) is often dreadful - kicks to nobody or just seemingly without looking at all. If you compare to genuine class acts at 7 this is a massive weakness in his game. He also seems to focus on the flashy plays at the expense of doing the basic organisational work (sounds like many a SL scrum half, which is what he reminds me of).

If he was paired with a stand off who took decisions and ran the show then he'd be fine. I just can't see him leading a team around effectively enough to gain rep honours or win the competition. He has got age on his side and could develop into a better all-round player though, so we'll see, but he's had the same problems with his basic game for a couple of years now.

As for Souths, if they can just get a basic organiser in with Sutton then they may fare better than people think, especially if Inglis can stay fit. Sutton can look great and has the physical capability to be a star stand off, but he takes a back seat far too much and like Sandow often suffers from dreadful decision making.

You should come over to the Hull board and meet Jake the Peg, you'd get on famously.
