Veteran Cowboys halfback Chad Townsend will play for his future in the opening month of the new season. Townsend, who turned 33 last week, is in the latter stages of his career and comes off contract at the end of 2024. But the 2016 Sharks premiership-winner still gets the young Cowboys team around the park well and his experience complements the running game of rising halves partner Tom Dearden. "We have decided to wait until the season starts rather than talk contracts now," Townsend's manager Gavin Orr told. "He is still a key man for the Cowboys and has had a good pre-season. "Chad loves it up there and wants to stay on. "We are confident he will start the season well and the club will see his value and sign him for at least another 12 months." A Cronulla junior, Townsend debuted with the Sharks way back in 2011 before stints with the Warriors and now Cowboys. He is approaching his 250th top-grade game, making him one of the most experienced playmakers in the NRL.
