Not into this bull-sheet comparison game of who is...better...when...where...Townsend was okay in the qualifying and the prelim in '17 and pretty good in the grand final. Graham was very good in the 2017 grand final and heroic in the 2019 prelim playing on with a busted shoulder.
I wouldn't class either one as a champion. Houli was a far, far better player than either of them.
But on the day Townsend, when it all counted, played a blinder...kicking goals when needed and physically imposed hisself on the oppo...Both Houli and Graham have seniority over Towno...which puts both in front...
But on the day...Towno played a cracker of a game!
