Early years [edit]

Raised in Sydney's eastern suburbs,[4] Earl played for the Paddington-Woollahra Tigers in the Sydney Roosters' junior district. Sandor went to high school at the famous Rugby League nursery St Gregory's College, Campbelltown, New South Wales from year 7-11 before injuring his knee and undergoing a knee reconstruction, after recovering from the operation, Earl changed to Matraville Sports High School in 2007 where he was a member of the Arrive Alive Cup winning team, scoring a try in the final against Patrician Brothers Blacktown.

Playing career [edit]

Sydney Roosters [edit]

Earl subsequently entered the NRL for the Sydney Roosters, making his debut in Round 16 of 2009 against the Cronulla Sharks.[1] However, the Roosters let him go at the end of the season, after he and fellow rugby player Jake Friend were charged with assault (for which he was found not guilty) on 20 July, for "sustained concussion, bruising to face, pain to neck and back", the victom being 31-year-old Queensland woman believed to be Kristy Bradley, the niece of ABC rugby league radio commentator David Morrow.[5]

Penrith Panthers [edit]

The following season, he signed for the Penrith Panthers and was named the club's top rookie player.[6] His 2010 season was capped by scoring a spectacular try in a preliminary final against the Canberra Raiders, cartwheeling towards the try line and planting the ball over it while his body was suspended over the sideline.[7] However, the Panthers lost the match and were knocked out of the finals the following week, losing to Earl's old club, the Sydney Roosters.[8]

Earl played for the Panthers' feeder club the Windsor Wolves in the New South Wales Cup Grand Final which they lost to the Bulldogs.

In 2011, Earl played few games before being ruled out for the season with a shoulder injury. There was then talk that he had signed a contract with the Melbourne Storm. This was later proved false and that he had resigned with the Panthers for two years. As of June, Earl has been released by the Panthers to join the Canberra Raiders.[9][10] As of October, 2012 Earl has sign to stay in with the Raiders until the end of 2014.[11]

In 2010 he was named in the New Zealand Māori team that played against England.[12]
