Sandow is a really inconsistant player, he can win games on his own but he can also go missing or get overly frustrated by a slow ptb the next week, if he plays this well all year then Smith has done what Michela Mcguire among others could never do and deserves coach of the year
In that respect they made a smart signing in gidley who for the last few years has been very consistant if unspectacular and has more big game experience (whilst Sandow has virtually none)
Overall they have a really good squad and could actually afford a few injuries in key positions and still challenge with Ratchford and Dwyer as back up
But as Leeds have shown in many a year, it doesnt matter if your unplayable during the early months, to win stuff you need your key players to step up in big games
With Gidley and Ratchford to steady the ship and Sandow and Clarke to produce a moment of magic they may just be able to do that
It may just be their year
