Probably just a year before he asks for a release to go somewhere else.

I think Chad won't take to playing for the Jets very well, he's all about his image etc.

He'll be telling his grandkids about the time he got dumped during that Raiders game in 2016. Can you imagine how long he'll hold onto being dumped to the Jets.
Glebe Dirty Reds is where Chad will end up feeder club to the Jets

Reynolds plays the type of game that he could keep at the same level for easily another 2 years.
What reynolds does. What he has always done.
Is put his side in a position where the strike weapons can do their stuff.
We had it in 2016. Maloney got us around the park to where we wanted to be.
In defence if we wanted to peg them on their 10 so Gal and the boys could pummel them for 6 maloney could do that.
If he wanted to put pressure on with an attacking kick he could.
Reynolds does this with ease.
Sam. Cody. Latrell. Their job is or was made so much easier by field position - reynolds kicks creating relentless pressure on the other mob.
He just does it so easily. Rolls off his boot.

Chad has one of the worst kicking games in the comp. Its a lottery.
It has been staggering to think a professional 7 has not improved in such an important part of his role in all his years. The fact bomber didnt have him doing drill after drill.

Was chad embarrassed young brayley gets us a 40/20 last week? Does he care?
Does he know thats his job?
The fact he played away from walker all night last week. Would bomber have said to him what were you thinking?? Do they even get this ..that Chad is off the pace in all facets of modern day half play?

Watch what melbourne do to walker tomorrow nite ha.
Olam and Nelson.
With the Fox picking up the dregs.
They will wear the carpet out down the lefthand side.

A bit unfair. I think Chad has a very good short kicking game.

His kicking game issue is his long kick...he doesn’t have one. And he offers up no variety with the high balls, they are all end over end and...never seem to be the floaters or spirals that others can do.

But, yeah, Reynolds has a far superior kicking game. The rest of their games are probably quite similar.

His short kicking game is less of a lottery and isn't too bad, everything else is 100% not up to scratch for a halfback of his experience.

However unfair to blame Chad for the direction of play I think. Coach needs to wear this as well, was evidently not part of the game plan to target Walker heavily or if it was, he didn't get the message out or the message was ignored, which is even more worrying.

Same way everyone here was blowing up about kicking to Tupou all night long, was clearly game plan.

The scary thing is he does do kicking practise, he says so himself, just watch his Vlogs :cool:

I reckon losing Wadeo when we did was pretty instrumental in the outcome of that game. Wade was up in his face and once he went off no one really followed suit. The last 20 minutes Walkwr was allowed to dictate that game and I doubt it happens if Wade was on the field.

Can see once we get past our injuries Chad won’t be in the 7. They will wait till SJ is back but can see them even using Tracey/Trindal even if they don’t perform. The club will draw a line in the sand and Chad will be told he isn’t in the clubs plans.

I am sure Bomber did tell Chad try to find grass in kicks, that would make Tupou bend reach for ball not kick it straight to him

Easiest way SJ comes back.
Kennedy.
Moylan.
Johnson.
Brailey
With Tracey the 14.
Jets halves.
Jack a williams.
Trindall.
Jets hooker Chad

BULL FEKKING SHIT

Totally. It was plainly obvious the plan was to kick to him, high and long as possible to not let him wind up
Thought the ploy was possibly to not let tedesco and morris return the kicks as they're more elusive. Tupou's just gonna run back in a straight line basically.

The quality of Halves today versus dollar value is disgraceful.

The minimum skill set in attack includes
  • Game Management
  • Kicking - Long + Short
  • Passing - L2R and R2L
  • Running
Add consistency as well, that really narrows the field.

People criticise Chad about his kicking game, for me, it’s his running game that is infuriating.

I’m 47 years old and 25kgs overweight and I could still run faster than him.

He has a running game? For me it’s the shuffle shuffle then inside ball. Does my head in.

Still can’t believe people don’t see the Fitz as a massive coup for us over the next 3 seasons.
