Cartwright throughout his career has seemingly done well in strong teams, and been ordinary in teams that have been weak. If he had been at the Roosters or Storm the last 5 years, he'd would've likely been in their Top 17 every week. His recent cause hasn't been helped by primarily playing with a very poor performing Gold Coast team the last couple of years he was there.
He is quintessentially another downhill skier, but If we have a strong season in 2021 he will likely provide an X factor that no one else on the market can provide, in an area were we're currently lacking (off the bench) . If we have a poor season he will look like very ordinary and struggle to get a game.
If he is only on $130k for one season do we really have much to lose?
