Round 17 vs Tigers

[Sime_11]

shame Josh didnt get picked for NSW, real kick in the guts IMO. hope he comes out and scores a hat-trick.

really good to see RL public thinking highly of Mansour & best yet, we got him for another 2 years

lets smash the tigers!!!!! lol

What the f**k is with this Cartwright 18th man bullshit? It's f**king dumb. Just put him in the NSW Cup, ffs!

 

[umina panther]

I honestly don't think Mansour has the hands for origin but in a dead rubber he is surely a better option than McManus

We don't want to ruin him by making him play football

 

[mxlegend99]

Cleary is deadset kidding himself with his treatment of Cartright. Let him play football. Being 18th man and not playing is not developing him at all. It's holding him back.

 

[umina panther]

Its worse than holding him back. Most talented junior since Freddy and he's sitting in the stands week after week

 

[Thirsty Panther]

If Soward pulls out does Cartwright come in ?

you'd think Peachey to 6, Cartwright to 4-man bench.

 

[MaxPower]

If he doesn't play first grade Cartwright will definitely play NSW cup. TBA

 

[Panther Pete]

It would be interesting to see Peachey in 6 to check out his ball playing ability and creativity.

Hope your right - but seems a big call
But hey what do I know - I think hes a good player with a lot of potential.
But some of you guys really go on a little silly with the accolades.

Maybe doomednow was right with waking up to a Cartright Cult LOL

But do agree tho shouldn't be 18th man and not play somewhere

 

[franklin2323]

I dunno if I'd risk Bryce, better to just rest him

Yeah it's for the best. We can't risk him stepping on the field

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Austin has been named at fullback for the Tigers. Bombs away.

Lets not get hysterical here. He didn't play last week but he played the week before when the first grade squad didn't play. So he just had a different rest week than the others.

If he doesn't play this week there will be grounds for criticism.

And if you remember, the coach at the time wasn't too sure how to use Freddy at the start, either.

C'mon man, there are grounds for criticism already. What the hell is he "resting" from?

Eels: 20 minutes in FG
Titans: no game at any level
Dragons: 15 minutes in FG
Bye: played a full game (I assume?) of NSW Cup
Warriors: no game at any level.

That is crap for a player who, according to others like yourself who consider the coach beyond criticism, has weaknesses in defense and conditioning. It's f**king dumb. And now he is named 18th man again.

Airplanes travel make me tired maybe he's the same?

Whats happening with Wellington Albert these days and did anyone find out his real age ?

 

[MaxPower]

So much drama about nothing. The guy has played footy his whole life, and with any luck will play first grade for another 10 or 15 years. Missing a few minutes of footy now is hardly going to derail his career. It's not like he is taking 2 years off to go on a mission.

Didn't he sustain a season ending shoulder injury four or five weeks ago?

I would have thought this week against a weakened Tigers outfit would have been the ideal opportunity of play him and give him decent minutes. I think Cartwright for Docker could be a late change in the lineup.
