Ah, sheeeet, thanks Robo!:lol: Isn't White that big baldy from the Tits?

 

[roboshark]

That's him mate...he might be able to kick actually, dunno

 

[coolumsharkie]

How long till Kelly is back?

If Townsend does get dropped for Kelly who then becomes your kicker?

Thanks heaps

Thats a good question, I don't think anyone is sure how it will pan out, Townsend definately deserves his spot.. Kelly played 5/8 also so he has to replace Graham.. First time in a long long time we have a choice of good halves to run with.

Obviously in a perfect world you would move Graham to lock, Kelly back to 5/8 Gal to the front row with Snowy or Dougy off the bench. Won't happen this year I dont think.

So if you had to put money on it you would assume that Townsend is the one to get dropped when Kelly comes back?

Isn't John Williams due back soon and if so he will take over the kicking duties?

if stapo improves and is consistent off yesterdays effort, then surely it would be hard to drop him

Hey guys,

Fantasy related question, is it safe to assume that Townsend will now start for the rest of the season and if so will keep the kicking duties?

Thanks

Hard one to call even for Sharks fans.

I think it will depend on how our season goes.

If we start winning with him at half back it would be very hard to drop him.

If our season is mathematically gorne I think you'll see Townsend then go back to NYC and have him lead the young guys into the finals.

I hope he stays to be honest.

I hope he stays too, but Flanno worries me. He has made a lot of calls regarding about "our full strength team being competitive."

And it would be easy to run the, "It's been good to give him a taste" angle.

I just don't know which way he will go.

I think the club has only one way to go.
Send him back to 20's to win the TC.
We smoked Melbourne in Melbourne with Chad at half, and we would of had the Dogs by 50 if he played.
Play him his 6 game quota, then back to 20's to try and get a trophy.

Hypotheticals: What if we win ALL those games and the FG all of a sudden has a shot at cementing a semi's spot?

 

[cb4]

Well, we lost to Brisbane, so your starting on the back foot

 

[Snoop Shark]

Yes it will be nice to win the 20's but we would be going backwards putting Chad back there.

Just keep him in firsts for the remainder of the year which will build up his confidence and combos with AK for next year.

I'd rather have Chad playing as many games in first grade which will help him for next year.

 

[Coastal Shark]

The 2 boys in the halves are going ok in the 20s. No need for Townsend to go back there.

 

[Windy70]

We can't afford a super star half. let this kid develop, wrap him up contract wise and build one that is loyal.

Same for our fullback too. Gards needs to be locked up in BWB strait jacket.

All the kin greats started somewhere, we need stayers, loyalty and familularity (spellun) breeds champions.

What happens in Chad's case after 6?

Incentive kicks in and/or his payments have to be included in the main cap?

I see cb4's point about putting Chad back but at the same time winning the TC is not where it's at from a club survival point of view. The first grade side needs to be winning and the best half, be it Chad or not, should be in first grade.

I also think it's good for the current mob of TC players to do without Chad as it will make others stand up and keep the side moving forward if they are good enough.

For the record, CT ≥ TS, SP or WG as a halfback. Even with only 2 games of big time under his belt.

TS is simply farged. I can't give him any more chances
SP is OK at a pinch but is a nothing player with a big boot
WG is a forward (lock) in backs clothing. Centre at a pinch if he can run lines.

 

[RUBIKS]

6 games = no get out clause? I 'unno :?:

Agree with Frenzy.

I also think that Penani > Kelly.

(Just thought I'd throw that out there)
