Bryce Cartwright gone

[OldPanther]

His career was never going to kick on under Hook.

Hes our best second rower when firing and all Hook wants him to do is be our backup half.

Hook is a moron.

 

[mxlegend99]

They suggest the club was never expecting him to kick on. But how the f**k could he when the coach wouldn't let him develop in his natural position? He shouldnt be wasting time training to play half

If we lost a half mid game. Fair enough. Put him at 6 for the remainder. But this was going to be his third season under Hook and he has spent more time at 6 than anywhere else. What chance did he ever have? Take Yeo or CHN and dump them at 6... I guarantee they struggle more than Cartwright ever did.

Before I disagreed with some stuff from Griffin but now I just hate him as coach. He turned what would have been NSW best forward into the joke of the league. I don't know how you do this DELIBERATELY!!

Has Bryce shown anything to suggest he can make 30 odd tackles and 10-15 hit ups?

His problem was and still might be his best games were 8 or 9 out of 10 his worst though were 4 or 5 out of 10. Maybe 20 or the 60 games he played were those good ones

I don't agree he was a 5/8th but he could of stayed and worked back. A fit and firing Cartwright walks into our team by round 5 he would of been in the team.

I get most of that but the bold doesn't happen if the coach is going to only consider him in a position that doesn't suit him. Griffin had the same at the Broncos from what I've heard.

He regularly did 30+ tackles. he missed a few, but he made plenty.

And the line running. The hard stuff I mean coming off our line? He should never of played 5/8th in the lower grades. He has got the 13 now so needs a year or so of only playing that position.

Yeo had a season of not playing centres and improved so much. Let's hope the same happens here

He debuted at 18 in NSW Cup.. As a half so it goes right back

I guess his extra skill would be tempting for coaches.

I get that and I am sure if Elgey or Taylor struggle the temptation will be there for Brennan. It does make him closer to a better backrower though

 

[Mr Angry]

If I was to improve as a player and get to where I want to be this was the best place to do it.

Gallen turned lock into a prop, Bryce might turn it back to a ball player.

I will be watching with much interest.

Why do you expect that of Carty when no other forward does it? Hard stuff coming off our line? Thats the back 3 doing that... our gorwards havent done shit aside from RCG and Yeo.

Which is why we don't win against the good teams. He has played plenty of halves in juniors. Maybe he is a half he needs a run in a position fullstop to go from there

Deadset. Hes not a f**king half and using him as one is the reason he has become a joke and has fans thinking hes not atop 17 player. Thats 100% on Hook.

Not sure how you get your info but he payed lock in Harold Mathews and S G Ball and did play 6 in his second year of ball ocasionally other than that he has not played in the halves Griffenand Goild have crucified this bloke no doubt

The game he scored his 1st NRL try he was playing 5/8th. He has been moved plenty of time

My 2 cents on the recent reasons the media are claiming Carty left. For a moment ignoring the other reasons of death threats and personal problems.

Him leaving because he is viewed as a half. With Maloney now at the club and with a fit Tyrone May plus the option of Jarome Luai. You would think Carty in the halves here this season would not happen.

The second story of him being worried about reduced minutes or playing reserve grade well shouldn't that motivate the player to fulfil his potential and have a good year to demand more minutes?

I don't know what really went on but I don't buy the 2 stories of viewed as a half or playing reduced minutes.

Griffin likes big halves (according to Brisbane fans) and Carty's natural ball skills would be tempting for any coach. It might not be the reason but it is plausible.

Still doesn’t say he is or was a half at any stage

He fill in their for sure but I just don't buy it that he was considered 6 long term. I always though Hook had him down as a future Lock or an edge runner.
