Well tbh he has said we have signed a few players and was wrong and this season every player they say we’re going to sign we haven’t maybe they have got it wrong .... he may be a risk but there no questions about his skills and not like there is any other half backs kicking out

I don't really bother reading any of it I only really read the tweet

Westmorland reporting that the rumours are 'wide of the mark' Hmmm?

HDMs Westmorland & reporting are not really synonymous with each other are they? He generally just copies what’s rumoured from other news sources or whatever is doing the rounds on social media. His one advantage over any other person is that he has exposure to the club staff, but that’s not a guarantee that they’ll provide him with anything they don’t want in the open.

Will he even get a visa that’s the thing don’t think Tim will want to tell the fans unless he can 100 percent get a visa

How did Sandow's time at Warrington end? Did he not return to Oz mid season and mid contract and then just refused to come back and honour his contract? Similar situation to Segeyaro at Leeds I think. Can't see the RFL actually permitting the guy to play. Or the RFL hitting him with hefty ban, leaving him sat in the stands for a while. Just a thought.

The rfl couldn't tell their booty from their elbow at the minute.

I thought he went home after the 2016 season and told wire he wasn't coming back for 2017? He played at wembley in 2016

Very talented player but hasn't played at a decent level for 18 months so will be in terrible physical shape I reckon.

I thought you were signing jackson hastings anyway?

Re: Chris Sandow : Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:37 am  

His physical shape would be upf or question no doubt, but I actually think his mental state can be leveraged to our advantage.

This kid is in last chance saloon and then some, and after seeing how barba has re-invogirated him self could just be the challenge he needs to really prove him self for a stint in the NRL in 18 months time. If he fails, then he won't get a gig anywhere else probably again. A performance related contract with a number of clauses for behavior would see him right I think.

Interesting reasoning's about why he didn;t come back last time mind - family only knowing him off the tele and close bond to community etc - don't see how that has changed in 12 months.

Yeah he did, let them know quite late IIRC and that forced them into the rush signing of Brown.

Last I saw of Sandow was an online video of him in an organised street brawl.

Very good player but far too much baggage I would have thought to warrant taking a punt.
