Didn't he sign with the Cowboys before he went on loan to the Warriors for the last part of the season (and got injured in his first game??)

I don't remember. Probably.

That doesn't mean that enquiries weren't being made by the Cowboys prior to his loan spell.

Point is that the fact he went to the Cowboys doesn't necessarily mean the Shakes didn't want to keep him.

How many Premierships does Chad Townsend have?

How many Premierships does super-talented Mitchell Moses have?

I'd wager the reason the Warriors didn't keep him is because Payten was desperate for a leader in his team, and paid decent coin - which the Warriors were not keen to match.
Plus the Warriors wanted to spend their marquee money on Shaun Johnson, who is (was?) one of the best playmakers in the game.

Just like Reynolds. Souths wanted to keep him, but Brisbane wanted him more. It's the same with the players we lost for next year.

The Sharks and Cowboys are pretty similar.

Chad doesn't have to be a flashy half back unlike with Moses at the Eels.

Chad has alot of players around him that can win games he just has to pass it to them and kick. His game is pretty simple that's the same as Moses but there is that expectation with Moses that it all begins and Ends with him.

Plus Shane Perry has a premiership as a halfback so Premiership don't mean much when comparing players

Do you ever feel energy? Like so me players have that winning energy. Forget skills. I see Cleary and he has winner energy. Dylan Brown I reckon has it also. Moses just doesn't.
Even when I watch NFL some Qbs just have winner energy. I feel like Brady is not as gifted as many but just has that energy. While Rodgers doesn't.
Some players have a presence about them. Like Latrell.
Cobbo seems to also. Just this winning feel about them like something good will happen.

I totally agree with you.

Tom Brady is the least special quarterback I've ever seen, in terms of his mechanics - but his willpower, leadership, and temperanent under pressure were second to none.

Moses is arguably the most skilful halfback on the comp - but he just doesn't have composure, or a winner's energy, imo.

Townsend won't work with the players we have. That's my point, that's why he was shit at the Warriors and last few seasons at the Sharks.

Cowboys are a perfect foil for him. Kick pass not expected to win games.

Does Moses win us games, though? On a consistent basis?

He's supremely talented, and I keep hoping he can put it all together, but pim not sure he will...
