Sandows signs with Eels, $550,000 a year

[Charmamba]

South Sydney confirmed Chris Sandow will leave the NRL club at the end of the season, before club owner Russell Crowe posted on his Twitter that the halfback would sign a lucrative contract with Parramatta.

"Chris Sandow to Parramatta at $550k a year," Crowe wrote on his Twitter account.

Rabbitohs chief executive hinted that Sandow's decision was monetary based in a club media statement.

"Unfortunately for us he has met his Alan Bond," Richardson said.

"We're very disappointed to learn of Chris's decision but we wish him the best for the future."

Do the Eels understand player value at all? because this is imo about $200,000 a year more than he should be getting.

I've already sent an email to 2 Parra fans at work bagging this out! [icon_lol1.

So do they dump Mortimer then? obviously Mortimer + Sandow = Brainsnap city.

Sandow is smarter than the average bear for accepting this coin though.

Obviously the brains behind the recruitment of Carl Webb, Chris Walker and Paul Whatuira were hard at work on this deal.

I think the bigger question is, why the **** did Sandow go to Parra! (Not the other way) I know money came into it, but seriously, peoples careers END at Parramatta. It's all down hill from there. I'm trying to think of a player in recent times that actually improved at Parramatta. Seems like as soon as you leave Parramatta you get better.

Tell that to Stu Kelly! [icon_lol1.

But yes, I agree - I can't wait to see this unfold next year! [icon_lol1.

You're forgetting he's leaving souffs though... :twisted:

Casey McGuire is playing better than I expected at Parramatta tbh. Tim Mannah has been a revelation also, but he's a junior though...

$550k per season for CHRIS SANDOW ??!! ROFLMFAO !!! another bull's eye Eels [icon_drun

 

[Nashy]

Oh man. The Eels recruiters are a joke.

$550,000 a year? I would only pay that for the absolute top halves in the game. Sandow has about 3 good games a season [eusa_doh Parra are idiots.

I wonder if the $550K figure is accurate, or just Russell Crowe being pissed off Sandow left Souths and trying to make parra look like fools.

If it is true, I don't blame Sandow for going though. I'd be a loser every week for a lot less than $550K a year.

 

[WayBDay]

it says 400k a season in a lot of places

 

[Black Philip]

400k a season is still too much for Sandow

 

[Kimlo]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
ROFLMFAO! HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Even at 400k a year that is epic fail.
Who ever is taking care of recruitment at Parramatta needs a pay rise for bringing down a shitty club even further LOL.

I don't believe the figure.

Crowe once again, proved what a tosser he is.
