So with Chad Townsend gone

[kal83]

I thought it was the right call - key moment we pack down a scrum and chad is facing the wrong way - lewis calls his name chad chad - head not in it - comes back and packs the scrum leaves the game not long after. Right call at the time

 

[Craigshark]

Chad will be fine. Deserves another crack and will get it. He went off half way through the warm up, so there may be some other problem there as has been mentioned we don't know about.

 

[Frenzy.]

An out and out ballsy move by Flano and one I did not think he was capable of.

I loved his comment "I've got a footy game to win".

Chad hasn't been getting it done. Bird has been sent the same message.

Worked on Mr S. He was much improved IMO. Also, looked dangerous in the middle third

Yeh, good point mate.

Something will come out.

 

[spirit of league]

Chad has recently been below the high representative standards he set earlier in the season. Not alone there. He'll come good.

We need our 7 firing. Chad is our 7. The club will support him over the next two weeks and get him firing. We simplify and get back to a more effective game-plan.

I have no doubt.

 

[jc155776]

Did someone seriously call for Chad to be sacked because he isn't as good as JT?

f**k me.

Great call from Flanno. Ballsy.

I would back his call to throw him back on and start again week three. If it does t work out again we have the ability to interchange and switch things up.

What if we play bird at 7 instead of Chad and we cop a halves injury. Pretty f**ked then.

 

[shadowboxer]

Don't feel sorry for any kaarnt.

This is the big time.

Get hard or f**k right orf.

Amen to that.
Get on with it, it is that "poor Chad" sympathy that has got us to where we are of winning fugg all. Flanagan deserves kudos for the hooking

 

[myrrh ken]

Tbh I didn't notice him being particularly shit last night. But he had been terrible of late. He should have been dropped weeks ago to sort out his form. Did phlanno pull him to justify his Beale bench selection? Big stones to do it when we were already down to 16. Anyway it farging worked. In phlanno we trust

 

[carcharias]

Poor f**ker looked like he'd just had his hair done too.

 

[Card Shark]

Him & Fifita been there together.

 

[carcharias]

I was watching it on tv
When Maloney was taking his first shot a goal I said ( out loud )
Make sure it goes over merkin
That's what your f**king paid a zillion bucks for

My wife said
Don't be like that
He will try

Yeah ... Well f**k that
Other clubs can win a comp
Do ya f**king job boys
Same goes for Chad

 

[shadowboxer]

said it over the last few weeks - shave his head, fugg it, remove every hair from the Chad. He needs to shed everything to get back to basics

Take a leaf out of Fifita's book.

 

[Sharkman]

CT seems to play well first half of seasons, then he goes off the boil.

I dont want backrowers playing in the centres.

Problem is if Bird goes to halves who is other centre Beale is shocking, does Flanno punt on Jets player.

Other option is N.Brown to halves, Bird back to centres, have him roving though

You don't want back rowers in the centres, but you're happy for a punt on a FGN JETS PLAYER???

 

[carcharias]

Flano made a big call
But not massive
The luxury of the second bite of the cherry.

 

[txta2]

Just watching replay. Chad, throws shit pass, barba drops it, throws pass to ground, ineffective mid field bomb, throws shit pass to Bird. This is all first half. Lucky Ennis saved us with a big kick and pass to prior. Also Maloney s defence saved them

 

[sladden road]

Agree with the Dr.. There may be something we don't know going on with the Chad off the field.. He looked rattled big time.
He will and should be the 7 although I do believe he is the main reason, though not the only reason the right side is mis-firing. If he comes on line, it comes on line and we win the whole fuggin thing.
Support you Chad.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

i hope nothing bad has happened off the field.
i understand tge reason he moved back to australia was his partners mum is very ill, for one.

in any case. he deserved the hook. he was bad.
but if he wants to be the halfback he plays in two weeks and redeems himself.
gotta support him as fans in the meantime

For some reason here Chad seems to be forgiven for mistakes, and people want to rip into Bird.

CT's form has been down for weeks, and everyone else seems to cop blame for it, he should be a leader and wants to sit back.

Check whenever push and shove and someone push's CT he just backs up, never gives shove back, bloody Bird gets right in there.

CT needs time with Tommy Bishop within next fortnight
