WHEN a team is struggling, fingers are invariably pointed in two directions. First it's the coach, with the marquee player not far behind. Stephen Kearney and Chris Sandow have copped it from all angles from the Parramatta faithful in the past few weeks. And I'm expecting both to have something special in store for us on Sunday. Advertisement Anyone expecting the Eels to be a walkover this weekend is kidding themselves. Sure, they have had their dramas and are holding up the foot of the table. But we're in no position to be throwing stones. While we took a lot of positives out of pushing the defending premiers all the way at Brookvale Oval last weekend, the 18-12 loss doesn't gloss over the fact we have dropped our past three games. We understand what it is like to be working hard on the training paddock and for things not to be clicking on game day. The Eels have the players capable of challenging any team in the competition as they showed against the Bulldogs last week. They had good line speed in defence and punished the Bulldogs to race out to a 12-4 lead before it all went horribly wrong. They have too many strike weapons across the park to remain where they are. Sandow arrived amid big hype and an even bigger price tag from South Sydney, but has so far failed to reach those lofty heights. He is too talented a playmaker to be kept down for long.
