Sounds like the kind of halves pairing we need to win a GF one day I reckon.

Resign him for another year then. Actually I thought they had an option on him for a 3rd year?? Could be wrong tho.

you make some very classy points in your posts ab
:cheers Mate, I do my best. Thanks for the great info! And its good to have someone to chat with about this stuff.
Got to watch NYC on telly again today.
Townsend was okay off the back of a badly beaten pack. I'm a little concerned that he may have the same problems that Smith has re:running, and I don't think he'll be ready for 1st grade for at least another 2 years. He missed having Kelly outside him actually. Good field kicker though.

What's your hopes on Townsend? I have watched him a few times now (shame to see him hurt today) and he seems good, but a few people on here act like he is gonna come real good in the future. What makes people think he is of that quality?
Smith is useless.

Townsend is the perfect prototype half back. Right body shape, great kicking game, his head is switched on etc.
Kelly IMO is similar but for 5/8.
I really like the idea of them as a pairing. They compliment each other well.

Great future ahead for our 6/7 rotation. Kelly is a true 6, he loves to take the line on and has a great long kicking game. Much like Barrett, but has more flair in his attack while not being as good in defense.
Where as Townsend is your typical halfback. Great passing, good long kick and superb short kicking game. Sometimes he needs to take the line on more, but makes the right decision most of the time. He is always yapping on the field too. Telling the forwards where to be and generally just directing the team like he should.
They are perfect for each other if they can reach their potential. I know I'm going to be thrown into the fire for this, but if Barrett retires and we don't sign Finch/Graham or any other half for the matter I wouldn't mind seeing Kelly/Townsend in the havles for the majority of the year. Sometimes players need to be shown that the coach is confident in their ability. Throw them in the deep end I say.
