Reported at $800,000 for three years in the media.

Mr Crowe claims $550,000 a year via twitter!

pah, he'd be a good player if he could tackle.

QLD Cup player at best. LOL

Rumours he was wearing a striped jumper and a mask during negotiations are apparently true.

I don't believe that will be on the salary cap tbh, damage limitation from Crowe imo.

Reynolds/Webster might get a shot next season though I can imagine Gower.

As much as people don't rate Sandow he's been pretty good for Souffs this year and they still struggle. What will happen next year? They have no first grade standard backups at this stage and there aren't that many halfbacks around who will be available.

I like Sandow, sure he takes the wrong options now and again but he's only young.

He needs experienced ball handlers around him who can take more responsibility.

Souths only play with two pivots and Sutton is rubbish, at Parra he'll have Hayne and Mortimer.

The have a couple warming up in NSW Cup.

And here's me thinking their reserve grade side only played with 12 men and no number 7.

I've been Sandow's biggest critic. However this year he really has begun to warm to the role. I think we judge out playmakers too early. They (like props) need 2 to 3 years to reach career best form. People expect them to arrive and play like world beaters ala Marshall.

Parra still have underlying problems, can't see them improving much tbh.

ooooo ark at sarky

lol at Sth's, Resign Sutton and let Sandow slip through. NRL is hardly awash with talented 7's, who will Sth's replace him with?

Is laughable, Gower probably.

Oh god no, can't stand the little thug/grub.

You won't be saying that when he wins a premiership for u....

He wont fit in with that rabble at Parra

Who'd want to be a part of that westy crap??

Yeah, westy crap that doesn't have many piers anywhere in world Rugby.

Poor Parramatta.

I cant believe they've let Sandow go and kept Sutton. Sutton could be a good player but needs to find some consistency which hopefully he finds under Maguire next year or i'm sure he'll be out of the side.
Sandow has looked better this season in a poor side and will probably end up having a great season now he's signed for the Eels.
Is Ben Roberts signing for the Eels aswell? If so where is Mortimer gonna play.

Ben Roberts has signed a 2 year deal to join the Eels from next season.
Good signing IMO and will go well alongside Sandow, the only problem then is where to play Mortimer but apparently he's gonna move to hooker.
They needed to start there recruitment early and get it sorted out after the joke that happened this year with signing anyone who was over 30 and past it. Hicks, Walker, Whatuira, Maitua, the only one who's turned out okay and played regularly is Casey McGuire.
Next year they'll have the spine of the team sorted out with Hayne, Roberts, Sandow, Mortimer at 1, 6, 7 and 9. They need to make plenty of changes and i'm sure they will with guys coming off contract. Joel Reddy is OOC and the Dogs are interested which would leave them with no centres apart from youngsters. Their pack is in need of a makeover, Hindmarsh is knocking on, Horo looked good last year but seems to have gone backwards under Kearney. I know he wants Adam Blair but the Tigers were favourites to land him, it'll be good to see what happens because this year looks like another write off already.

Maitua could turn out to be a great buy.

What do you base your opinion on with regards to Ben Roberts? He's only played 1 game of first grade all season and 7 minutes at that. He's been running around in NSW Cup that's all. Is it a perception or a memory of how good he is?

Never rated him myself.

Always thought he was over rated and I can't even remember seeing him have a really really good game.

I can see my team struggling now for years to come.

It's back to the early to mid 90's with a bang.

Maitua should be a great buy...if he has sorted himself out!

I bet your a right laugh to have a pint with.

Parra have some very good players signed for next season in key positions, Kearney knows what he's doing and will get the right players for his style.

Yeah I am, but Parra have been a disappointment since 1986 and I can't see it changing anytime soon.
