I think he brings more than Chad, more than Trindall will for a few years, more than Kennedy.. he's just maligned by the fanbase for obvious reasons, but ya lostalostobjectiviryyy

Funny how Cooper Cronk says Chad is an 8/10 player weekly

Most of the ex NRL halfbacks in the media say the same.

Our side is definitely better with Chad in it. Like it or not. Moylan is not a 6.

Anyone who can't understand Brailey, Townsend, SJ & Mythlan isn't a better spine that would take the side further than Brails, SJ, Mythlan and Kennedy is seriously deluded.

So stop dreaming. He won't be left out when he's fit

Chad is overrated he is great in giving away 7 tackles sets, even if 2016 gf he gave the 7 tackle set away when Storm scored.
He was yanked from field in against Raiders.

He is not a pressure player never has been, he basically never wants up tempo it's if he has one speed and that's it

Moyza offers more to us from fullback than from 6.
Way way more.

Kennedy doesnt deserve to be dropped and has laid on some winning plays for us since he found his niche in the side.

Chad will be back in.
I reckon bomber will stick with kennedy and Moyza will take Traceys bench spot.

I think you are right. Moylan can't physically play fullback to the required intensity in a big game. He is held together with sticky tape. Him in 14 is like Flange carrying Beale.

Morris will definitely pick Chad. It is a given. Chad is like valium. Everything slows down. He is rank average but part of the furniture.

You should consider 2016 and re think this piece of idiocy.

Didi watch the GF Chad gave the 7 tackle set
The game against Raiders he was going so bad that Flanno took him from the field
Chad only looks half decent with a quality 1 6 9 around him

7 tackle set, 7 tackle set, 7 tackle set, 7 tackle set, 7 tackle set

EVERY kicker gives them up.

Turn the record over.

I didn't say the GF either did I?

Try again, review the whole semi final series. Start with when he got hooked. That's not pressure?

I just watched that Fox Theatre thing.

Did you know Maloney kicked the ball out on the full at a crucial time in the Grand Final?

I’m going to repeat this fact on a daily basis here. I don’t expect it to add any value or wisdom to the conversation, but at least i can get in on the vibe of dwelling on a split second play from aeons ago.

You defend chad by saying he is an organiser. We don't look more unorganised without him, we are just as bad.

I know he won't get dropped and I dont want Moylan in the 6. He will go back to the one as soon as chad is back.

It shows how much the big names in the 2016 side thought of chad when they ‘forgot’ to tell him about the set play for the Barba GF try.

Best thing he did in the GF was get the f**k out of the way for the Barba try and take the coat hanger from the winger to get us the opening 2 points.

Interest point there Dragon. If there happens to be a 'new age' GF coming up and you are a coach who happens to have a couple of hard heads retiring or going off to Pom Land or to Yawnion and your opposition has a couple of gun players...... now just saying.

If Chadley was playing in a 'new age' GF and he copped that grub act swinging arm like he did in 2016 GF then he would be forced off the field for a minimum of ten minutes if not the whole game.

Sssshush Quigs you might teach some people some stuff.
They did it to him twice, the Korobete one, which got us two points, and the Welch one which gave us the extra tackles and thus the Fifita try.
So that was two plays that the Storm tried to take Chads head off, both gave us penalties and ultimately points.
I wonder if Bellamy had told his players to have a bit of a shot at him.... actually I don't need to wonder about it.
The Storm, and Bellamy, are way too disciplined to make that mistake once, let alone twice.

I though HIA was 15minutes?

Anyway.

Are we talking about the same “gun player” that got hooked in the Canberra Semi Final?And when it happened it changed our fortunes in that game for the better not worse.

The idea of taking Chad out of the GF would not be because he’s was our best player. But the disruption to the team it would cause and force a gun player like Maloney to then have to put his energy in organising the team rather than put all his energy in full on attacking plays. Everyone knows our greatest weapons in attack that year in our backline were Maloney, Barba and Holmes.

Chad was good in 2016 not great.

Most of that 2016 team I would rate as better than him and his halves partner was probably the most significant signing in our history and the game changer in making us legitimate contenders for the title.

4 seasons later I wouldn’t even rate Chad as good anymore. He is an average footballer now.

Nothing special.

you think if they were trying to take someone out on purpose they’d choose chad over maloney, Barba or ennis?

for the record, I thought chad was pretty good in 2016, probably his best year in first grade. Whether it was because of his own personal ability or those around him made him look good or both who knows. I don’t really like him or rate him, but I think he probably needs to be in the team for the remainder of this season because it is too late now to be asking someone like Trindall to perform at a level expected in first grade this close to a semi finals series. I think moylan is probably best at fullback.

Unfortunately when Chad is back it’ll be Moylan, Johnson, Chad and Brailey as our spine.

Now Frenz likes that spine, but not the majority on here. But Bomber won’t leave out Chad or Moylan, so this is how it will be.
