Honestly why da **** would bringing Sandow into our FG squad have anything to do with Bird being in the team?
Bird would either keep playing at 6 or slot back into centre or even backrow. He isn't in danger of not running out for us bar injury

I think Robbo/Sandow would be fine for the rest of the year with Beale and Bird in the centres. Then from next year onward the prodigal son to replace the settler.

Play Sandow at 7 and **** off Robson or I don't think it's a worthwhile excercise

Slot in Bird, Barba, Nu (injured) at 6 until we figure out the other piece of the puzzle

It's insane - there have definitely been opportunities to test him with very little risk, particularly with Robson playing worse than he ever has in some games.

Fwit coach refuses to drop the retard.

Yeah your right, I thought he was with the tigers for a while, I mixed that up. But the point is the same, he is now an origin player but he's not a star import. The fact is the star import half idea has a very low success rate in the modern history of the game.

We have made the finals series with Robson but no one would say that was all due to Robbo so don't flip it the other way and say Sandows team's missing finals was all due to Sandow

He would be an excellent signing in light of what we have trotted out in the 7 in previous seasons. Sandow would carve up with the quality of backrow at the Sharks outside him and service from Ennis. His kicking game would back up the metre gains from our front row and that's not even mentioning the fact he can play what's in front of him and actually muster up some creativity and atleast try out a play that wasn't downloaded via Flanno Drive USB into Robson's circuitry

The amount of nitpicking and 2 and fro over wanting Sandow or not in here is ridiculous. The logistics of a player swap may be complicated but the decision to be made itself is a f'ng easy one

Yeah he'll keep us in the same half baked success holding pattern we've had for the better part of a decade. We'll win more games than our current low base, but never win a Comp, so let's shoot for that.

I think if we did get him it would look like this

6. Bird
7. Sandow
14. Robson

Until next year

6. Townsend
7. Sandow
14. Brown
With Bird in the centres
