Fair enough, whatever you think, but my statement was about my preference being to have had Chad Townsend in 2022 and 2023 playing in our halves over the halves combinations that we rolled out that had no clue about how to produce a result once we were in the oppositions red zone.I don’t think if we had Cleary, Cherry Evans or Reynolds in the half’s West Tigers would have made the top 8
I find it strange when people wrap or bag individuals for a teams achievements or failures over a season.
It’s a Team game (13+ players)
The Cowboys made the finals in 2022 because of their Team not any one individual.
The Tigers won the comp in 2005 because the Team jelled
not because of Benji or Scott Prince
My statement was about 2 individuals in their prime and who I considered the better player.
Never said anything about making the 8, just that I think we would have got better than 4 wins with Townsend in the halves.
It was a response to a derogatory comment made referencing Chad Townsend inferring that he was at best a pretty ordinary half, and my point being that as ordinary as he may be he still would have been better than what we had.
This had nothing what so ever to do with whether Chad Townsend or Benji Marshall was the better player in their prime, and just for the record, Benji wins that hands down but that was Benji at his best a long time ago.
