Chad Townsend

Just in regards to Chad and Flanno’s kicking....both of them only seem to kick drop punts which offer no real threat to the guys that are catching them. I get the feeling that they are using slightly different balls this year cause some of the other kickers are kicking massive torpedos which not only give you far greater distance but are harder to catch. Burton and Cleary from Penrith... Reynolds and even Ben Hunt and Milf have much more success in causing mistakes for the receivers because of their kicking styles. Time to call in an AFL guy to get Chad up to speed if we’re going to persist with him. I guess what I’m saying is both Chad and Flanno’s long kicking games are way too predictable as are their f**king inside balls..... they do my head in.

can’t teach an old dog new tricks.. he’s been doing these kicks forever. Every year I hope he mixes it up only to be disappointed.

Chad should be our back up 9 on the bench. We need a circuit breaker at 7, a player with speed. Whoever we play knows Chad ,and what he can and will do. Bring Metcalf in and make Wilton starting center. Leave Fifita and Nikora ( Williams in and Hazelton and Velasquez the bench ) out of the mix, our current forwards are the real deal.

Metcalf in for Chad would be ok - might aswell go down swinging than die wondering with beige Chad...

I just hope when SJ is back, Chad is the one to drop out...

It has been said on this forum that we need to stop campaigning for Chad to drop out, as Coach loves him...

Just what is John Morris seeing out there????

I have no doubt he’s a fantastic trainer, a fantastic club man, a true professional, and sets a great example to the young kids about attitude and application, and I’m sure Morris values all those attributes very highly.... And I’m willing to concede he might have a great ‘rugby brain’, he might be excellent in the video reviews, a master tactician in theory, say all the right things, be a great voice in the group - But all those things have to translate to high quality performances on the pitch on game day, and he just doesn’t have that in him. I’ll guarantee that Chad doesn’t make it onto any opposition tip sheets for being a threat - however I’m willing to bet he’s on there in terms of being able to easily mark the men outside him, as he’s no threat if he runs the ball. Teams can afford to concentrate on containing his runners, as even on the odd occasion he might take on the line, the defence will be easily able to adapt and cover him.

Bomber is a pretty smart dude with a good footy brain and I’m sure he realises how shit Chad is. As it stands though he has no choice but to pick CT every week, I reckon he’s under some sort of obligation to have him as the first name on the team sheet just because of CT’s reputation

What reputation he dropped Fifita for Mr Magoo.
He could drop Chad for Trindall
