Chad Townsend, a local Cronulla junior, made his NRL debut for the Cronulla Sharks in round 13 of the 2011 NRL season. In his first match, played against the Brisbane Broncos, he managed to convert two tries scored by fellow players Jonathan Mannah and Colin Best in the 40th and 80th minutes respectively.[1] As a result of the injury of Albert Kelly early in the season and the subsequent poor performance of Cronulla's other half options Townsend was given the opportunity to play in the NRL, after his good form in the Toyota Cup competition. According to Sharks officials, he has recently had his contract extended until the end of the 2013 NRL season. He scored his first in Round 17 against the Rabbitohs. The sharks won that game 26 - 4.[2]
