Townsend Points F/A vs Raiders

[bluefox68]

Some of us have short memories...

FJ is a better instinctive player than Chad.

We let the wrong one go.

No way Roosters ever sign a Chad...

 

[Quicksilver]

FJ (the future best halfback ever) couldn’t wait 5 minutes to prove he was better than Chad (the worst halfback ever).

FJ was even getting plenty of 1st grade game time.

The merkin hates the club.

He just wanted to leave.

There was no keeping him.

He’s a germ.

For all of Chads faults
He hasn’t been sitting on the sideline on and off all year.
He has never brought the any type of bad press down on the club.
He tries his guts out .
He doesn’t give away loads of dumb arse penalties every game.

He is solid without being a match winner.
That is where those permanently injured blokes on way more coin were meant to come into the equation.

That’s the problem. He’s a halfback and isn’t a match winner. He can definitely lose us a game though. I’ve been a fan of him in the past, and all the stuff you’re saying is true, but this year he has been pathetic.

But he has been there this year.
Where is Moylan? Where is SJ? They are the ones letting us down.
Where are our match winners?
Going into a game with Chad as the person with the weight on his shoulders to win us a game will always end in one way.
Chad isn't perfect but he is on the field, which is more than 2 blokes taking up nearly 2 Million a year can say for themselves.

Well it hasn’t helped that every time he looks around there is a different 5/8 or centre or fullback or winger.

 

[Craigshark]

I get all that and obviously it doesn’t help. However a halfback with his experience shouldn’t be chipping and chasing on the second tackle against the Warriors and Panthers and making the same basic shit mistakes every week. A halfback with his experience should have iced that last play against the Bulldogs. He’s getting paid well enough and been around for long enough to be better than what he is.

 

[MilkShark]

Yes he tries hard, yes he loves the club, yes he plays every week.

But the mistakes he makes are basic level mistakes and they happen often.

 

[carcharias]

They all make mistakes.
Gallen with a billion games experience got the ball stripped in the most crucial part if the field.

Moylan drops the ball cold every couple of games.

SJ makes shit decisions

Fifita runs sideways

Woods is slow as shit and missed tackles

Flanagan had a f**king shocker .

Wade was bog average... dumb arse penalty that gifted them 2 points.... he is probably out injured again.

The only bloke that was any good was bloody Morris who played out of position ( no surprise) for half the game.

 

[MilkShark]

Carch come on bro, Chad is a 7.

 

[carcharias]

Carch come on bro, Chad is a 7.

Yeah I know.
A bit of conveniently overlooking the rest of the shit performances from others just to hang shit on himthough IMO.
He probably gets the ball more than anyone.

Do you reckon you can honestly say Moylan and SJ have been any better?

 

[MilkShark]

Yeah I know.

No they haven't.

Also, the guy the gets the ball the most, I would hope would make the least amount of errors.

 

[carcharias]

Well with no Moylan Johnson feki
Dugan gone for half a game.
Wade gone at some point
Stinking hot day against almost full strength Raiders.

He got them bloody close.

I think people are being a bit harsh.
It was a bloody tough game and he had pretty much zero help for the last hour.

 

[MilkShark]

But thats the thing, he got us close, but we lost.

Any many of the points we gave away Chad contributed to.

 

[1990 sharkie]

Johnson has the same amount of try assist with 7 less games and Moylan has 5 less try assist with 12 less games. So yes they are better and have been better when they play.

 

[carcharias]

8 points had nothing to do with him.
The long range try was unlucky.
The kick was fine.
The tackle should’ve been made in goal , we get a repeat set.

He also kept us in it with 2 field goals

It wasn’t him that missed 3 conversions

Wasn’t him that gifted the raiders 2 points with a stupid late hit.

Well der
If you get him on the field we probably would’ve won.

I’m pretty sure thats the actual point I’ve made.

There was an element of bad luck to it but at the end of the day, it was his inability to kick the ball into space that caused the ball to end up where we had no kick chasers. He twice kicked the ball into the other team on the last in that game. He also put up a bomb from 42m out that was caught in goal, sooooooooooooo bad.

That's 3 last tackle kicks I can think of just off the top of my head that he screwed, all in 1 game.

Yeah so how does that contribute many of the points they scored to him?

Moylan and Johnson have been pretty average too. I don’t think anyone is arguing against that. In saying that, Johnson has actually been pretty good when he’s been on the field the past 6 or so weeks I reckon anyway. The 7 has to wear the result in a lot of cases. Goal kicking has cost us a few games this year and so has Chad.
