Just a little on the side please

Sandow was still Sandow under Flanno's dad Ricky Stuart. Ricky dropped him cause he's sticky and hates halfbacks that aren't him. Robson is poo under Flanno cause Robson is poo
Flanno's structures might strangle our team, but they are not stopping players like Barba and Bird more or less playing their own game
Gravy - I suggest Dianne. Pepper didn't work with DCE

Cant remember where I heard it but he is sort of playing hard ball with us, yeh he will come but he wants us to pay him a truckload of $$$$$$ for him to up & leave the Roosters, he/his manager know we are desperate.

They said we are also chasing outside backs, if true I wonder who or what type of quality, established FG players or young guys with big raps?
Work colleague.
He wants to stay at the Roosters however we have apparently made a very large offer.

That's the million $ question I want answered as well, its not as though Robson is killing it, surely he will get a go, knowing our luck he'll end up getting a go late in the season when its too late, he'll probably have a decent game & we'll end up thinking, what if?

I hope this is true. Isn't all class, but definitely an above average half. If we were to land him im sure we could find a suitable partner in our squad to partner him.

Mitch Cornish. I don't care that Ricky dropped him, he's still got a bigger upside then Sandow, he's got his best football ahead of him, a Townsend/Cornish combo can definitely work, plus he doesn't come with the baggage and off field risk that Sandow does, plus he's more consistent. I'm sick of recruiting the NRL's problem children and waiting for it to blow up in our face. Cornish over Sandow anyday of the week.

Yeah fair enough CM. I'm yet to be convinced on Cornish from what I've seen so far though. To me Sandow is a last resort for one full year only (2016).

I want to see Murphy in the side as well But you can't compare Murphy with Val in relation to size as Murphy would constantly have the bigger men running directly at him in defence. Whereas Val mostly has wingers (granted some of those could be the size of a FR) running at him.
I still think it's BS thou. Give Murphy a shot in first grade and then we will know for sure!
But that's my point all along Gards. Stop looking for the ready made silver bullet, look for the guy who we judge may become the silver bullet. Thurston was not a silver bullet when he was signed from Canterbury.
Sandow is a known quantity. Sign someone with some blue sky, some unknown. At least then you have a shot of ending up with a gun and it costs you less to do. And there are plenty of examples of it working as I mentioned earlier.
Given a choice last year of signing Austin or Reynolds from the dogs who would you pick? And who would pick this year?
Cheers Sutty. It's such a Flanno signing isn't it? 27 years old and plays next door.
