laughable.
To think hes acheived more in 1 weekend, than you will in your life. Ya reckon he worries about what you think?

LOL Thats all you've done in your miserable existence is build a far king house! Lol. Chad owns enough to live in a different one each day of the week.

Holy shit this is quite savage don't ya think?
Chads not gonna have sex with you bro no matter how much you compare the life of a professional sportsman to the life of a poster on an internet message board.

However I do agree its laughable that Chad wasn't important in the 16 GF win.. He was important enough to wear the No7 and thats good enough for most.

It’s his style to get personal. Nothing new.

He’s a grub of a human being.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that criticism of CT is at hysterical peak in the games where our forwards get totally outgunned? I'm no massive fan of Townsend, but since day dot in rugby league, if your forwards don't get the job done the halves suffer.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

So your defence is money now? That means only Cronk, Taylor, Moses and DCE are better than Chad in the 7 jersey. I apologise sir, we have the 5th best half back in the comp. Here I was thinking he was in the bottom 5

No what Im saying is , that you clowns & the ADHA affected disloyal grubs like DS(that have criticised personally every great shark to ever play for the club, like Preston & peach &) that flip flop around in an instant, have not achieved a sceric of what CT has acheived through mountains of hard work, sacrifice & pain over decades.
So lets swap roles. Ill be Chad, critiquing your lifes acheivments.
"You built a far king house????? Lols, I do that for fun in my time off!"

How come you haven't vlogged it on Youtube then Chad? Would love to see it.
Heaps more interesting than heading out to Miranda Westfields.

Isn't it the number 7s job to direct the forwards up the field?

We beat the rabbits and he did nothing. Moylan and Graham controlled the left. What good are you if you're outplayed by a back rower

Yet you talked so much shit about Val Holmes. Top 2 wingers ever in sharks colours. We bag mediocre but you only bag the best.

We get it bud. You're a hater.

I used to be like that. It's exhausting. I hope you grow out of it like I did.

Chad is, without exception, the hardest working player at the club. He works the hardest on his game, does the most extras and studies leadership in his spare time even though he isn't in the frame for the captaincy. He does a heap of charity work and is always available for the Junior League. He's on a modest contract by NRL standards. He's one of the few guys that will pull Fifita into line publicly when he brats it up.

He is probably the least talented player in the squad too. What he got and where he got to came from hard work. He was halfback in our premiership team.

He is well spoken, marketable and a cleanskin local junior who loves the sharks. The coaches love him.

He's having a form slump- but don't pull behind him. Snipe him. Thats a strategy and a half bud.

Great post

 

[carcharias]

Imagine if chad had f**ked up as many times as Maloney did..or Fifita or Moylan or Gal or even Ennis
f**k up = anything that ends in a negative .
ie
Dropped ball
Given away a penalty away
Shit play the ball
Flop
High tackle
Etc
Etc
Etc

Maloneys 2017 season was as terrible as anything chad or robson or tim smith have dished up. And he only started to play well when he got dropped for origin 1 this season i thought.

Honestly baffles me why he gets a free ride from criticisn when he deadset has 1 decent game every 6. He makes tons of mistakes a game but it gets overlooked by the commentators and media because "he gets on with it and doesn't dwell on it".

Yes I did. It shows your length on the forum is quite different from what this user ID states that you joined in mid 2018. But on holmes, there is no way in hell we win that GF without him. My issue with holmes is that he didnt want to remain a Shark unless he got the position he wanted, the salary he wanted, to the detriment of the team. He wanted out straight after the GF so he could play fullback. We stil had Barba.
In the end, he had a miserable 2017 in a fantastic team & IMO was , the difference to us not progressing past the cowboys in that semi final. Then the antics continued, every 3 months with talks of moves to the cowboys etc, because he dropped for being rubbish(at fullback) in 2018.
yes Italked a lot of shit about Holmes, many times over the top, but that guy, never had the Sharks front & centre, like Gal, Chad, Feefs, Duges, Jmoz, braileys, Moylan etc etc.
For what its worth, im actively cheering for him that he goes well in the NFL, as I originally thought the entire thing was a ploy to get out of his contract to the cowboys. After a chance conversation with his management, I was told how driven he was to succeed at the NFL.

I think there is some confusion among posters here.

No one expects him to turn the tides of a game, especially when the forwards are getting beat on. All that we want, is for him to stop doing stupid things. It is possible to not do stupid things when the your forward pack is beaten.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

You constantly said Holmes was the 4th best winger at the Sharks!

Exactly.

He has to remember he’s Chad Townsend.

Not Phil Blake.

Not Cooper Cronk.

Get back to deep kicks into the corners.

Grubbers in the in goal.

Get early ball to the backs and the real playmakers like Johnson and Graham.

Get through your tackles.

You’re not a star in the team just a working cog.

 

[Marchad]

He has cost us so many games with stupid decisions this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if Flanno’s plan was to move Chad on halfway through the year so Kyle and Shaun Johnson could be our half’s combination.

 

[Card Shark]

Howzat! Got him!

Perhaps your namesake “Differ”? He was around for short while mid last year.

The debate on Chad is a strange one, and it all depends on your expectations of him.
If you think he is ever going to be DCE or Cronk or JT then you are sadly mistaken.

Chad has his flaws, a lot of them, but he is also the reason we are within touching distance of the 8. He is also, a big reason why we aren't in it.
He has thrown some intercepts, kicked when he should have passed and misread the situation against the Warriors, but he also lead the "Baby Sharks" to one of our greatest wins against the Storm.

His flaws are well known, he can't kick long, doesn't read plays well and his passing is slightly above average, but he defends like a demon, has a kick chase like Noddy and puts his body on the line every play. There have been some dumb plays creep into his game this year no doubt and it is frustrating.

What was he supposed to do against Penrith though? Yes the chip kick was bad but f**k me that first half by our forwards was the worst I have seen in a long time. Not one half back in the comp would have been able to get us out of that in the first half, our forwards were disgraceful.
Our kicking wasn't bad but that wind was awful. I was there on the hill and it was so strong in the first half, then died off in the second. Johnson has an incredible boot and he couldn't kick it more than 30m.

He has one more year on his contract and then we have to evaluate where we go next. I personally hope he is moved on but then again there isn't much on the market so he may be around for a while longer. Hopefully he gets himself back to early season form.

There are bigger issues in our team though: Our forwards running sideways and also carrying one of the worst number 9's in the comp.
