I don't think the Davey signing had anything to do with whether Cartwright gets extended or not.
I didn't mean that. I meant with Davey here now, the urgency of keeping carty is not so high
I think you're jumping at shadows and the bolded bit is just a wild guess.
I think Cartwright is an obviously better attacking player than Davey, but it’s attacking ability that jacks a player’s price up.
No his strength is high tackle efficiency, not high work rate.
I think as well that he was an instant improvement in defence, which was/is our team weakness. Ofahengaue is another short term defensive fix.
I reckon the signing of Davey is probably more a signal to Murchie that he's failed to adjust to his new club and live up to his potential.
He played plenty of edge in Cup. I know there are some here that think that players should get selected in NRL just because, but for mine you have to earn your spot.
Yeah like Hodgo.
He definitely earned his spot. He has played 150 NRL games and had a big preseason. He is reliable.
Was his big preseason at the retirement village???
Dunno if you saw him play in round one but he was very good. Whatever caused his drop in form has happened since then. He was also good against Manly.
No he wasn’t lol. And he was solid at best in round 1. After he was brutally exposed by the Sharks around the ruck in round 2 he’s been a missed tackle and penalty magnet.
He has recently stopped getting off the line so quickly, and been less isolated. This has led to an increase in tackle efficiency. He is using his effort in ways that better suit our team, such as kick pressure and getting numbers into the tackle. He’s been good.
If you are looking for positives in Hodgson's game then you are obviously a troll.
