Chad Has a new nickname

Play Teddy at 6, Marky Mark at 1, Billy slots in at left centre.

Fixed, and we make the 8.

No let’s not move our best player out of position. Terrible idea.

Not so terrible at all. Over the last few years Robinson has shuffled the players about haphazardly for no reason at all, like a chess master playing checkers. Move our best player closer to the action, for sure. What have we got to lose?

[bondi.boy]

He is getting roasted across social media and rightfully so.
Can’t kick, organise, take the line on. Offers no threat to the defence. Offfloads the ball as soon as he receives it.
Hugo HAS to come in for him next week otherwise Robbie has lost the plot.

OK, so he's not working out so well...but he was bought to fill in for Sam and to mentor the rookies.
Seemed like a good idea.
He's a quality person and is no doubt trying his best.

[Timmah]

Hugo, Toby…freakin anyone but this flog.
Surely the young guys couldn’t do any worse!
and please give Dom young some time in ressies…Marky Mark to R wing

[caz]

he had a good game v penrith and has done some good things but he hasn't achieved best case scenario form

[On the Nose]

If Chad's Temu then Robinson's Tesla.

Think you're wrong on this one, I heard Savala was very close to playing this week. Think you'll find Chad won't survive another week.

Think you are on the money R6. I can’t see Townsend surviving this one. Savala will be sure money to start next week.

tbh I actually think Townsend knows he is cooked. Just his demeanour during the game smacks of a guy that knows the game has passed him by. May sound dramatic buy I think he may even decide to give it away early.

Do you watch his YouTube? He has an office now. He’s always wanted an office.

I don’t think you can get any closer to the action than Teddy already does from fullback.

[Rooster1908]

I got talked down and called a negative Nelly for making this point last year when it was announced we signed him.

The bloke was dropped by a lower mid table club not even halfway through last season and told he was free to leave despite having a year left in his deal. Purely because he was nowhere near good enough. They replaced him with Jake faarrking Clifford.

It’s almost unfair to attack the guy at this stage, he is well and truly finished as a top level professional yet we prop him up every week as a starting halfback. Crazy.

Your right and now he should be dropped by a bottom 4 wooden spoon team

[mattyh]

Temu, it is obviously where we purchased him from

hypothetical question....


it's gf day 2025 roosters have a miraculous second half recovery to makevthe finals, sam walkers round 11 return ignited a run of 11 straight victories, along with the return of favourie son mitchell pearce .

alas sammy gets his jaw broken in the prelim win over Brisbane.


Thracian who plays half ? townsend or pearce ? cant pick one of the young fellas

We have NEVER played well when Teddy has been our main play maker on the edges.

[Paddo Colt 61]

I think people would've called you negative because Chad was meant to come in for the Dylan Napa or Michael Jennings role. Older role model/mentor player at the club for the young guys, in the top 30 as an injury cover but playing mostly NSW Cup and destined to play 3 or 4 games when one of the first grade halves needed a rest or had a minor injury.

Instead the entire plan was thrown into disarray when Sam got hurt, now he's our first choice half and could be playing until round 12, obviously nobody was expecting this or thought it was a good idea.

Sam getting injured was the reason that Townsend was recruited.

[Red.]

Townsend's signing was announced on July 3, 2024. Pretty sure that was BEFORE Sam got injured.
