Eels Team V. Panfers

So I only watched the game late - can't believe we lost a game on goalkicking... so sad!

Serious question: is Bryce Cartwright even a first grade footballer?

I'd say he is, but at a Feleti Mateo level. I don't understand the hype around a bloke who can't tackle, and who makes ridiculous decisions with the ball in hand. I think he is holding the Panthers back...


Our forwards did an outstanding job against their highly touted pack, was very impressed. Just lacked a bit of direction in attack, and having no centres was without doubt the difference. Beau Scott was obviously watching tape of Chris Sandow to learn how to defend in the centres...

Cartwright can be an absolute beast in attack, but is quite erratic. No real consistency.
Feleti Mateo is quite an apt comparison. Had the same problems in both attack and defence, but will win you a game by himself every now and again.

Cartwright is coming up on 50 games played this season. It's about time he started to find some consistency.

Bahh. You're a bunch of drama queens. What would any of you expected if the side we finished with was our starting 13 in the opening round?

You certainly weren't the only team in that boat yesterday.

Well too be fair even if Gordon did kick 100% from that point, we still lose.
But yeah f**k Ash, he can go to Roosters with his mate

but I don't wanna go to the Roosters...

It's not my fault he sucked ass. F*ck me for having faith in the guy...

You see, i never had faith........

True, but he can still go!

but I don't wanna go to the Roosters...

I think you should go to the Roosters too! Then i won't have to drive you home anymore

At least you guys had a centre!

You did well, but won't trouble the comp this year. Some outstanding talent - Cleary has amazing poise for an 18 year old.
I imagine the experience will do him good, could be a lethal young pairing next season with Martin? And then with Hiku and Whare back out wide the backline would be strong both ways behind a bulky, imposing pack.

Cartwright should be off the bench for impact if required.
