Cartright is not a middle

But pushes Isaiah into the middle.

We have Isaiah,lane and marata who plays middle and also equally adept on the edge.

So putting in another middle player, we can easily push one of the 3 above to the edge.

Basically, If Cartwright leaves, there's a bench spot for a middle or an edge player not just an edge for an edge

I reckon Carty is staying, pretty poignant post he made today given the noise around the dragons offer.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Although given the lack of colour it could be seen as a fade out...

Tepai has gone from the darkside of union to the martial art dark side of Melbourne storm

Had massive potential. Interesting.

He's still only 25. He'll probably do OK playing a monotone middle forward role for $180k (guessing).

I defended him right till his last game for us, then conceded he was a plodder. I'm very interested to watch how this pans out. TBH I hope he's shit.

Under Bellamy? I'd be surprised. Will be interesting where he played. He's another who started as an edge and was converted to the middle.

Bellamy will probably turn him into a superstar. Merkin.

Evidently Rugby Union Australia are chipping in a 6 figure sum

He is 6ft 3in tall and 113kgs

And bald.

Evidently, he was off contract and could not make the first XV in a side that can't beat an egg.

i too defended him and rated him. I don’t know know, he was never anything flash, but could defend well. I’m sure he‘ll do well.

 

[Noise]

I never rated him. I think only @TheRam rated him less than me haha

He had shit defence. Could not dominate a tackle. Usually conceded a quick play the ball and / or struggled to get to marker quick enough from the ground. Had no idea how to wrestle. Melbourne is probably the best place for him in that regard.

Also struggled to run into holes in attack. Seemed to be in a habit of trying to run over people. Works as a kid, not so much in the NRL.

I don't watch rugby union but if he couldn't even make the Waratahs he must be battling.

To be fair he was a centre in rugby, because he does not have the size or skill to play in the forwards.

There's no position that suits him in rugby. He's an ideal workhorse middle in rugbaleeg though.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Who was once a fast, skilful, offloading backrower. I wonder what happened.
