Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3076970, member: 9052"] I don't get the current obsession with wanting Townsend. What is it we want out of our halfback moving forward. The general consensus would appear to be: - a kicking game to ease pressure on Milford - game manager/game awareness to lead the team around and get them in the right positions... so Milford doesn't have to - solid defence, but not the highest priority - offer some sort of attacking pressure to ease the load on Milford In terms of Chad's kicking game and game awareness I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I had a look through the last 4 years of Chad's stats to see how many 40/20's he's kicked. Why 40/20's?? To me a 40/20 represents the player's long kicking ability (execution and accuracy) and game awareness (identifying when the fullback is out of position or looking to change momentum for their own team). Going back to 2015 (4 seasons and 100+ games) Chad has kicked 1 40/20 and that was rd 1 in 2015 when he was still with the warriors. That is garbage output from a guy who supposedly has an "excellent" long kicking game. His long kicking game consists entirely of exactly the same as what we get from our current halves ie. Kicks to the corner. In terms of easing attacking pressure I would say he does bugger all in that department as well. In recent times he's basically been the link man between Graham, Maloney, Johnson, Barba and Moylan. He rarely creates anything on his own. At best he is an average middle of the ground halfback that doesn't really contribute anything more to the team that Dearden and O'Sullivan won't already provide. Except we'd be paying him about $600k a year for the pleasure to do so in Broncos colors for the next 3 years. I think signing Townsend would be a massive massive mistake for us and won't solve any of our current issues. [/QUOTE]
