Wash up v Panfas with special guest Chad Townsend

[Defer to the coifed]

It’s to the point that if you are looking excuses for chad, I have to assume you are his wife, mum, dad, etc etc

who is making excuses? He had an average game. Kicking was good, but he doesnt have enough pace to do some things required, behind a beaten pack & he hasnt formed a combination yet with our spine.
Do I think he has the ability to form a lethal combination with Brailey, Johnson & Moylan? Yes I do. Absolutely lethal. Does he deserves the pasting he is copping on here? Absolutely not. he was far from our worst player last night.

 

[Card Shark]

I’m a Chad fan but he WAS our worst player.

Passing & kicking game was terrible.

Use of the wind very poor.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Ohh so he kicked balls dead did he?

 

[snout]

His last tackle options were a live performance to rival milli vanilli.

Absolutely bottom of the barrel.
He definately had money on the pantherz.

 

[txta2]

He killed every play in the 2nd half when the ball went his way

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Well you would see it that way. However its not what actually happened.

Can't kick it dead when it doesn't go over the oppositions head. Don't defend him. He wasn't just the worst player yesterday but the only player to play worse this year was Kennedy. That's how bad he was

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Actually one of the worst performacnes this year was Moylan. Kennedy wasnt great. Next worse would be Mulitalo against Broncos. Then there was the game against the Titans, where everybody except Chad was awful. So, you are a long way off too. But I don't expect much from your footy analysis to be honest. its funny , like watching homeless drunks fight.

 

[Card Shark]

Ohh so he kicked balls dead did he?

No, the opposite! He kicked it too short with the gale behind him.

His bombs were landing 15 to 20m out instead of 0 to 5m.

 

[shadowboxer]

I can understand defending chads positive history or even early this years performances, but last night was up there as one of his worst. Why we are debating the level of his crap-ness is a waste of time, he was rubbish. Move on

 

[Defer to the coifed]

I claim his performacne was poor , because we were poor, extremely poor, with go forward. Penrith looked good, becasue they went forward extremely well. Especially with the refs having a different interpretation over when a player was held.

If that was an “average” game from him, a bad game must be absolutely horrifying to watch.

So he was poor BECAUSE the team was poor?

Is that the excuse?

Sure reads that way

 

[Marchad]

The chip to the head that led to the try just before halftime was just a touch of class. The skill it must of taken to hit the Penrith players head to get the perfect falcon would be astronomical.
Than not to be outdone. The grubber straight to the Penrith players legs in the second half when there was no kick on. Was just so inspirational.

Mate, this guy has won a grand final. That kind of stuff is easy for him

The other 9 kicks? no good? 2 repeats sets? no good? The bombs? no good? the fact we kciked fewer times than Penrith , but kicked for metres, no good? Yep just highlight those 2, 1 was a brain fart, the other happens every game, every week, even by the competition leading half backs

Credit where credit is dew..... he perfected that against the Warriors a couple of weeks back.

The competition leading halfbacks can do heads up plays. Chad can't, he tries, but he can't. And making those plays that he can't pull off at critical times of the game hurts the team.

 

[Special K]

Townsend is f**ked. He wouldn’t dare try those dumb f**k chip n chase plays with Flanno around. Let alone twice in a season.

Correct. Remember when this forum, yourself included hated Flanno one dimensional play so much, it became known as Flanno Ball?
Rememebr the ongoing threads about sack flanno now?
Well this coach, isnt flanno. If anything, we play Walker ball. & guess what the half back & five eight (cleeland) used to do in Walker Ball? Thats right, attack at every opportunity. Chips, grubbers, whatever they saw they were encouraged to try. Short kick offs, short drop outs & side to side play.
That is exactly how we play now & I reckon Chad has been enecouraged to give it a crack.
