He was wearing a beanie during the interview - maybe going to be debuting a new “do” on whatever day they are playing whatever team

The Townsend issue is that he’s a pretty shit compared to other 7’s in the comp.

Let’s look through the teams in the NRL where he’d be a guaranteed starter at 7;

Sharks
Bulldogs (and I’m probably being generous to him there)

That’s the Townsend problem!

Funny thing was Townsend was talking about the poor team stats.

He didn’t go into his personal stats.

Now a good reporter would question what’s doing with his zero stats.

But that would take research eh?

Yep. Love the way the biggest issue in our slump comes out and gives his perspective on it....but doesnt identify himself.

I wonder what he REALLY thinks. When he sees ben hunt getting flayed and quatered by the media yet he is untouchable.
Could he really believe hes going better than hunt?
And why do the media heads protect townsend?
Hes the kardashian of the NRL.
Famous for doing nothing.

Thats because he doesn't listen to criticism

He has shut himself off from it

Boys, Chad wants to play on for another 5 years before moving into his next career path which has already been confirmed.

my mum and I were only talking about Simon Townsend yesterday.
She is a bit loopy now and was trying to tell me he was doing the show before the Vietnam war ...and that the song only 19 was about the 2nd world war.
Even though it references Vietnam and the names in the song are real people who went to Vietnam.
It’s frustrating.
Not as bad as following the f**ken sharks though.

The thing that I found frustrating was when he was asked about SJ - a good teammate would have stood up for his halves partner by pointing out his own flaws.

I’ve been there.
Went to the museum there right there in the rice fields where it all happened.
The pics are outrageous.
