Sharks fans are carrying on scorned Ed lovers regarding the Chad. In all seriousness though, $800k for Chad Townsend has to be the worst recruiting decision in living memory. I know it is hard to recruit players to Townsville but Jesus they should have anything else with that money

Definitely not scorned lovers mate. We are ecstatic that he is gone, and at the same time bemused that he is actually rated by the Cowboys.
PS: his beer sucks

Does he have his own brew?

I was only kidding. There seems to be almost a consensus about the Chad from Sharks fans - pretty funny.

Bemused about the Cowboys is about right. They bought two very average halfbacks. They must think buying two very average halfbacks equates to one good one.

He bought into one.
They, the Cowboys, are starting to behave like the "special" club of the league.

The Dolphins are reportedly on the hunt for Cowboy’s young gun Jeremiah Nanai to add to their experienced forward signings.
Wayne Bennett and the 17th NRL club are said to be chasing the back-rower’s signature according to the Courier Mail.
Football operations chief Michael Luck has hit back at the Dolphins potential play, tabling a lucrative extension to ensure Nanai is a Cowboys player for years to come.

New Zealand Warriors' star fullback Reece Walsh and his management have reportedly begun conversations with the Dolphins.

While NRL rules would require Walsh to need clearance from the Warriors to negotiate before the final year of his contract - which is next year - reports from Triple M's Ben Dobbin suggest Walsh doesn't want to go to New Zealand in 2023.

The Warriors will be based in Redcliffe during most of, if not all of, the 2022 season. New Zealand's international border remains shut and while it will open to Australian travellers in July, that will come with a quarantine period which simply won't work for NRL teams.

While discussions remain open between the NRL and New Zealand government as to whether the Warriors will be able to host five home games in the country at the back end of the year, the chance appears slim.


Walsh has a young family and is reportedly unwilling to travel to Auckland, preferring to stay in Queensland during the 2023 season.

He has a player option for 2024, meaning he would need the Warriors' blessing and a release to play elsewhere in 2023, but could do so in 2024.

It was reported yesterday by Scott Sattler on SEN that the Warriors wouldn't be willing to let Walsh leave the club, with one source using the term "over our dead body."

However, Dobbin reports Walsh's management have begun conversations with Queensland-based clubs.

“That is very true (he wants out), but where he lands ... Brisbane made a commitment to keep Tesi Niu. They are all-in on Tesi Niu at the present moment and very happy with how he’s going,” he said on Triple M’s The Rush Hour.

If Walsh doesn't want to play for the Warriors in 2023 then they should let him go now and find some one who does. No point keeping some one around who doesn't care about the club. They're not going to win the premiership this year, so it's not really a loss for them to get rid of him. Send him to Redcliffe to play in the Queensland Cup.

Why? He’s got two seasons left on his contract, unless Redcliffe are willing to offer compensation then they should make him do the honourable thing and see out his contract. A lot can happen in two years.

Not really, Storm made Brandon Smith see out his contract and Ado-Carr. Panthers kept Burton despite Dogs wanting him straight away, plenty of examples of clubs insisting players see out their contracts. Why should Warriors just let him walk when he has signed for 2 more seasons and there is no one left for them to sign to cover him?

None of those players have actually seeked a release though have they. They signed for the years they did and were/are happy to play at their current clubs

Plenty of examples where it's gone the other way though and it generally coincides with an unhappy player

Again, you're being naive if you think he'll be "forced" to stay if he makes it clear he wants out now

The players actually seeked to find a dictionary and sought to obtain a release twice (in the case of Burton).

It's naive to think they don't try and get out for more money immediately.

I think youll find that the Bulldogs wanted Burton to be released early but he never actually sought one from the Panthers
