Greg Alexander vouches for Chad Townsend to be NSW's No.7
Chad Townsend Sharks
The Weekend Hangover is back with all the drama and controversy from round nine of the 2019 NRL season.
Origin bolter Chad Townsend has one important person in his corner
Chad Townsend is only one or two more big games away from piling genuine pressure on Nathan Cleary for a NSW State of Origin berth.
Townsend's outstanding form for the injury-hit Sharks has him right in calculations, with his name in discussion alongside Cleary and Adam Reynolds.
"I'd be so confident in him doing the job, I really would," Blues advisor and former champion No.7 Greg Alexander told The Weekend Hangover.
"He reads the play so well, he's got a good pass, he can defend and he takes the right option almost every time.
"We are definitely chatting about Chad Townsend. His name is right up there alongside Nathan and Adam Reynolds.
"There are no chinks in his armour."
It was only three seasons ago that Townsend was hooked mid-game after turning in a shocker against Canberra in a semi-final.
He recovered from that humiliation to go and play a key role in the Sharks' breakthrough grand final win.
Alexander said: "He's has gone from that player - where his career could have plummeted - to a key player.
"It's quite remarkable."
Former teammate Michael Ennis added: "That three-week period was the making of Chad Townsend. He is now so reliable."
yea i know bort, you're not wrong there mate and yes some players do come back better from Origin for the experience but Chad is already becoming a real leader in the team and already playing out of his skin
he probably has the temperament and enough love of the game that it wouldn't keep him bogged down for too long but he just looks in such good rhythm and touch at the moment
it's like building a beautiful house of cards, removing one at the top probably won't bring the whole thing down but why tempt fate
happy for him if he got called up but can't see it happening anyway
The media always like to talk up a "bolters" chances come origin time.
Maybe Chad is this years bolter?
I tend to agree that at the end of the day Freddie will more than likely go with a Rooster together with a Rabbit or to a lesser extent an incumbent (but that is looking less and less likely every round as those two are **** at the moment).
Anyways, by being considered or spoken about in Origin discussions should at the very least give Chad more confidence and that will give him a boost.
The talk came from a selector (Brandy) saying Chad is in the mix.
Should play a probables v possibles game.
