@hindy111 nailed that re-signing a little while back.

2 years hopefully he can build and improve his game i think he is a centre more then a winger so its hard to judge atm not playing in his preferred position. Our defence atm is a shambles and Blaize isn't helping defending inside him making some horrible reads.

He is a better backup option then Morgan Harper moving forward i feel with more upside at least carting the ball out of his own end.

Why? Guymer hasn't proved anything, and Kelma is nothing more than average.


Really what's Cartwright done in his time at the club? His defense is horrible and doesn't have a power game.

He is a 5/8 in a forwards body..

Kelma even though needs to work on defense has a better running game.

Guymer is young can defend and do a job that's what we need

Guymer may have played on the edge, but don't think his future is there. Not sure he is up to playing on the edge defensively

Better defender than Carty and Lane who currently play 11 & 12.

Defended well in the middle for his 2 games

Also had better fitness and defense than Hopgood in his games in the NRL..

Middle is totally different to the edge defensively. Look at hoppa, one of our best players and is defensively great. But he wouId get carved up on the edges

Lane/Cartwright issue is they can be lazy at times, but they have the mobility. Don't think Guymer does have the mobility for the edge, plus while playing edge in NSW cup has missed a lot tackles.

Apart from a more explosive running game (which Cartwright doesn't lack), Kelma provides nothing. Cartwright is fitter, and will draw more defensive attention than Kelma.

Cartwright also has a great combination with Moses. It's important to note that those two have only played a handful of games together this year.

Thought Kelma was pretty dangerous starting on the edges under Barrett before his injury. His last 3 games, sharks 10 runs / 109 m, 3 TB, dogs 15 runs 138m, 4 TB and roosters 19 runs / 180 m. His defence was ok too.

Hoppa? Joffa? Hopgood?

Guymer has more mobility than Lane and Carty.

Carty will also get lazy and do sweet f**k all.
Was fine 2 seasons ago but not anymore.

Look at the better teams second rowers these days Carty isn't it
