Other upside of Chad is his durability.... I'd like to know how many games he's missed since coming back to the Sharks...would be faarrkk all imo.

0 games he has played 91 games in a row
add to that last year at warriors 22/24

 

[Card Shark]

That is a great credit to him in itself

Clubs who would loooove Townsend (in current order on the ladder):

Storm
Raiders
Eels
Broncos
Cowboys
Warriors
Titans
Bulldogs

I reckon he would be a significant upgrade on the game management of the halves at any of those clubs.

I love what I've seen from Flanagan so far, but he would just be a speculative purchase for most clubs at the moment.

Panthers, Tigers and Roosters would all probably want Townsend in a year or two, though if we compare that to Flanagan, Flanno jnr might be in even more demand in a year or two.

Yep agree with all of that.

I've been a big critic of his in the past. In fact I believe you and I had a 'debate' about him last year.

Happy to admit I was wrong.

His form this year has been unbelievably good. Chad playing like this takes pressure of the likes of Moyza, SJ, Wade etc and allows them to pick their moments rather than overplaying their hand.

He might not be our flashiest player but he's one of our most important.

played 2 games this year with a heamotoma bursitis thingy. Painful

Was that his hand? After Morris stepped on it? Looked broken as soon as it happened.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Noises getting louder that he's gooornski, this better not be true!

 

[bad boy bubby]

By the end of the week too.
It is The Mole saying it though.

I keep telling myself "we're not this dumb, we're not this dumb, we're not this dumb" but for some reason it's not sinking in.

 

[roboshark]

So when Johnson or Chad are out who so we play there

Having said that the roosters are the only club really that could afford flano

Probably Moyza mate. With Duges to the back.

Probably Moyza mate. With Duges to the back.

We'd want to hope Chad doesn't go down then. Moyza and SJ in the halves would be absolutely horrid.

 

[spirit of league]

Chad
SJ
Daylight
FJ

Seriously, Flange has greatly impressed and will be a red-hot smoking gun. Future tense.

We have to focus on winning season 2019 (obviously)

 

[M2D2]

Are the noises coming from the same people over and over again? if so. ignore it.

 

[Special K]

You can't keep him here if he really wants to go. Hands are tied

 

[sandshark]

Should make him see his contract out. Why even sign them if you're gonna pack your bags 6 months later right?

He'll go and become something like the 4th potential cronk replacement they have signed over there.

 

[shadowboxer]

Has BUZZ weighed in on this one yet? Or is he still running with the story that he is for a wakely award this year for gutter journalism.
Cannot see it happening under Morris unless there is something completely left field about it.

 

[myrrh ken]

Can't he hook for a bit of the game?

 

[sladden road]

as said before he has a get out in his contract thanks to dad.

Dad doesn't like the club any more.

Insert unlikely scenario here.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Will be gutted if he leaves. Really like him and think he’s improved a lot this season.

Guess its good for his future though. He’d be straight into Cronk’s 7 jersey next year.

Spot on.
Like I said in this thread earlier, Flange snr was the one who signed Flange Jnr for 3 years plus SJ for 3 years. He also signed Chad until when, end of next season or the one after?
His plans were foiled.... but fujk those get out clauses. Last one of them that was used on us was Fergo wasn't it??
