Townsend Points F/A vs Raiders

[MilkShark]

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

What?

 

[carcharias]

What?

I fixed the typo

How does him kicking it to the opposition on the fifth tackle or the one kick that landed in goal on the full directly lead to points ?

That happens every game from every half back.

Anyway
You guys blame it all on Chad.

 

[Craigshark]

It’s not all his fault, but you can’t defend some of the mistakes he makes for the amount of experience he has. Surely you can’t deny that being a halfback he can nearly be directly to blame for some of the poor results this season (Warriors, Panthers, Bulldogs to name a few).

 

[Feej]

I'll say it again, who do you replace him with? Don't give me some Stake Removed answer of some kid in lower grades that you *think* will play as well or better. Yeah, Chad is no Cronk etc, but I don't think there's anyone else of a decent standard available.

 

[Craigshark]

Not sure, but he’s no longer the answer.

Come on man, I’m talking about ineffective kicks, chips and chases at the wrong time, wrong options etc.. Chad is probably up there with the least of our problems when it comes to the type of mistakes you’ve listed above. I think someone mentioned in another thread to possibly try him at 9. Might not be such a bad idea.

 

[MilkShark]

Carch, what does the NRL define as an error?

 

[Craigshark]

Have a look at the kick he puts in at the end of our first set in Golden Point..

 

[carcharias]

So it’s ok to bag him out until the stats show otherwise?

Rightio

Did you all see Nikora’s stats?

Carch, what does the NRL define as an error?

Forward pass
Incorrect play the ball
Maybe s combo of all of them.

I dunno
What do you reckon?
Regardless
He is hardly the worst and there are plenty of other clubs halfbacks with way worse stats.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Not sure, but he’s no longer the answer.

There was no question. You clowns are like middle management. Don't know whether to look up or down, but always guaranteed to be looking in the wrong place.

 

[MilkShark]

Carch we are talking about errors, the stats you posted shows he has not alot of errors compared to others.

Hence why I asked what does the NRL classify as an error. Stats can be skewed to suit anyone's agenda, not saying you have one either.

Chads 40m bomb caught in goal, not an error.
Chads last tackle kcik into a defender, not an error.
Chads knockon (not his fault), error.

Ask Sam on the sharkcast
isn’t that his actual job?
NRL Stats .

I do know that him having to carry the team without any play makers for most of the year is as tough as it gets.

I don't disagree, in a time of need he excelled.

What podcast is it? I don't listen to any

Rightio.

We’re talking about two different things in relation to mistakes. I think you know that.

You blokes are blind

watch it again
Chad sets up the try to Brailey and the one to Mualatino.

And kicks 2 field goals.

FFS

just stop it okay.
all these facts to an outrageous argument.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

at least he takes the f**king field to have a crack.

 

[Weaponhead]

Expecting Chad to be more than what he is at this point in his career is pointless.

The Good
He is a good club man, no dramas and durable. Solid organiser and sound defender. Backs up well.

The Bad
Not particularly creative. Ordinary kicking game. Has failed to ice some big games this season.

He is what he is. He is serviceable when the flashy players are on. He has never been a 'main man' in attack. He is a supporting player.

This year, too many of the main attackers have been injured to build any consistent performances.

I don't rate him highly but the other spine players have been underwhelming as well.
