The thing is, on the edge he can play longer minutes and make more runs overall. The downside is his defence. Pros and cons. Plus we are down a few edge forwards. Hopefully Cartwright is good to go next week.
Didn’t Cartwright Play today?? He was good to go today but not yesterday?? Maybe it was a 24 hour Covid thing??

What number theory is this one? After each of your other one's get shot down.
All we know is he wasn't injured. Add that to knowing about his tendency to go off the rails and his unimpressive trial form. There's more than enough reason to think Cartwright hasn't earnt his call up.

But yesterday and today you've been adamant that he had earnt his call up, because he was named in teh firt 17 jerseys out of 21 on Tuesday... 🤣
I'm never adamant about anything. That's you projecting. We don't know what happened with Cartwright, but so far we have some merkins adamant that he was named as a smokescreen for Jake Arthur to spend 80 minutes on the bench. Now that the coach has burnt his secret move what will he do next week?

It is easier to say "we" don't know (and deflect), then it must be to admit that you were wrong when you said Cartwright must have been injured to not make the game day 17.

I think this week the coach will do the same as he did last week - name 21 players as required on Tuesday, and then progressively narrow that down to 19 then 18 and a final 17, using the added clarity that comes with the passing of days prior to game day.

It's very rare that he removes a top 17 player for someone outside the 17. I'm not going to start accusing him of team list shenanigans when it's out of character. This is a coach that is known for being transparent and sticking to his guns.

How do you know he didn't have food poisoning or some sort of 24hr bug the bight before? Or just a very slight twinge. I feel like you've jumped to conclusions and haven't ruled out all the possibilities that could lead to an injury that needed just a short period of time to heal.
