I've always heard (and seen so far) the opposite in Gidley. I think (from what I've seen so far, which isn't nearly as much as I'd like) Sandow looks much better in defence than I gave him credit for last year, but is still a weak link. That said, I don't care if he flat out refuses to tackle, based on his offence since he's been here.'"

It was Phil Clarke who said it during that ludicrously biased commentary against Catalan. He thinks missing one tackle makes you an awful defender clearly forgetting the 40plus tackles he put in against Leeds the last time he saw him play. He was equally quick to call Chris Hill for his poor missed tackle on Junior Sau at Salford however was unable to mentioned that Chilly never missed another tackle in the whole game. Chris Sandow will not fit into his stats package so probably not on his radar.
As for MOS don't forget the last 3 have been from Yorkshire due to the voting system and the refusal of the Tykes to vote for anyone from this side of the Pennines.
