Is Sandow your marquee player?

Apparently not. My understanding is that Sam Tomkins is the only player in SL where a club has exercised the marquee player option.

Think you're wrong there.

This was from an interview with a leading agent - it could be made up of course.

"Super League general manager Blake Solly defended the role of the governing body, saying: “It’s a matter for both the clubs and for Super League to decide whether that cap goes up, it’s not the RFL just saying it goes up or it goes down, it’s a joint decision. “And the whole idea of the marquee player rule was to allow clubs to go and get those players or keep them. So I’m not sure what more the sport could have done to actually allow clubs to go out and get marquee players.” With the exception of Wigan, who used the new rule to accommodate the return of Sam Tomkins, clubs have ignored the chance to sign a marquee player and Harrison says the explanation is simple.

“They’re all scared to use it,” he said."

I also think he is wrong.
I don't think Leeds have used the Marquee signing.
But I'd bet my bottom Dollar that Marwan has

MOS Sandow 5/1 Gidley 8/1. Hill is in top 5 of the betting. And currie in top 7. Long way to go, but 3 in top 5 is how strong a start we have made long way to go but exciting to watch the prices tumbling!!!

I don't mean to name drop but I have spoken to Stuart Middleton personally and he confirmed that Sandow was our marquee signing.

Better than Alfie?

I would just give the MoS to Sam Tomkins here and now. He doesn't even need to play

Alfie Langer was a class act. The difference here is that the players we have now are on a similar wavelength to Sandow.

When Alfie was here he was at least 2 plays in front of everyone. Really thinking back, it must have been awful for him playing for us at that time.

His one on one ball steal off Tommy Martyn I will never forget. Ever.

Please Chris, please please please replicate or even better last weeks performance this Friday and tear Widnes a new one especially for the old fart I just had the displeasure of chatting to in Tesco in Widnes. Apparently he (Chris Sandow, not the old fart) is slow, fat, unfit, over-rated and only here for the money (actually, the first three do apply to the old fart). He has only looked 'not bad' because he hasn't come up against quality opposition yet, but apparently that will change on Friday when he will be shown to be slow, fat, unfit, over-rated and only here for the money. We (Wire fans) are two faced as we hated him last season chanting 'What a waste of money' and we were offering to pay for his flight back home.

He had just bought his ticket for Friday and is making his first trip to Wire since we moved to the Halliwell Jones. Please Chris, make it an extra special day, just for him!

Sounds like a typical Widnes

Well what would you expect from a fan of a team who fans most dont like the wire?

Don't get me wrong I think sandow is a class act but he will be up against a team who are in form and have had most 'experts' putting them down as only beating teams who have injury problems,for me it's gidley who is the orchestrator,as long as he's fit you lot will be up near the top and imo you will make the GF

It will be a fantastic game with both teams in form just hope that we contain sandow as if we don't it will be a long day
