I thought Sandow played well in a very tough stamina sapping game with all the players having to draw on energy reserves, before going off with a knee injury and playing with a strapped thigh and not everything coming off he gave 100%

We were very close to a very good side and for that I can't knock the players or Smith or his selection as it almost came off but I hope he has a rethink.

Exactly, not disappointed at all I'd be more disappointed if he did all those things every time who else would I watch? LOL I'm happy with Sandow he varies his game has taken the line on at times and scored comes up with some great plays and kicks I'm sure he will again,Saturday wasn't his or the teams day.

It's such a key position for us and the heartbeat to how a side plays. We need him at full fitness. The pre injury Sandow was unplayable at times,

It's a team game and he obviously shines when the team are playing well, we're being critical that his performances have not been the same as early season but the same can be said for the whole team

I too was not disappointed with his performance yes I'd have loved him to have created more or a piece of magic to win the game but it wasn't to b, but to infer that he chose not to is not fair and probably not true either and a disservice to the opposition defence also.

Half backs look great behind a dominant pack and a team full of confidence going forward, bit also they struggle to take control of the game behind a dominated pack, he was clearly tired and injured too and the conditions would have amplified the effects.

Its no coincidence that he was the stand out hb in the first half n Sneyd in the second half, he is not playing to his full potential try but to make out he is a bad signing and not worth extending his contract is nonsensical he his by far the most exciting half back in superleague, get back to our early season form and we can still win silverware this year and sandow will be key to that.

No doubt about his talent.
Doubt about sustaining it throughout 80 mins.

He'd still be playing in the NRL if there was a different coach at Parra and if he'd decided to wait until the end of the season another NRL club would have picked him up. He was 4th in the Dalley M table at the time he left Aus and was the second highest half back.
