Chad Townsend - One year deal Report

[King Salvo]

Would anyone entertain the thought of Val Holmes joining Townsend at the chooks next year? Has been told he can look around, can play anywhere in the backline, and a good goal kicker.

Holmes , Watson and Moriarty in the same team

Nice pick up

[Inflictor]

It's for 2026 not next year.
There will be better options available.
We'll have Toia and Manu (potentially) come semis. I think Marky is a smokey if he can pick up the defensive side of the game. His attack looks very X-factor.

No thanks. Elite winger, poor centre.

Tupou, Young, Tait, Murphy & Pauga are enough wing options.

Got dropped in Origin for a 34yo Gagai for a reason.

On Townsend, I reckon he would have done a decent job of closing out that game last night. He’s a hard head.

Yeah, that's a halfbacks job.

[Steggles]

Yeah, that's a halfbacks job.

Pretty hard when the more senior half calls the shots more than he should. The team is confused as to who is running it.

I think that reason is QLD believes in fairy tales that Gagai turned super saiyan when wearing the Maroons jersey..

Not the 9 tackles that Holmes missed in Game 2 then?

Nanai missed 8 tackles against 12 men on the first game.. so 9 is the magic number to get dropped?

Mate, Queensland was obliterated in game 2. Holmes wasn’t the only one having a bad game.

Townsend can manage a game. I reckon we would've been more competitive against The Storm with Townsend at halfback.

2025 - Sammy Walker five eighth. Chad Townsend halfback could potentially work nicely.

He might be able to manage a game but from what I just saw in the Tigers v Cowboys game tonite his defence is suspect.
Tried to tackle a fast running player with two hands on shoulders instead of tackling around the legs.

Problem is, I’m not sure Sandon would be much better in defense..

I’d still choose Sandon though.

Chad seems to do one thing right, followed by 10 things terrible
I'm amazed he has won a comp

I'm amazed that we actually signed him.
