My take is that BA is trying to train the Feleti Mateos out of him.
Cartwright! has re-signed, so it looks like they are on the same page.
Why would you sign a bloke like Cartwright and then completely try change the way he plays. He’s been in the NRL for 7 or 8 seasons under multiple coaches and they haven’t been able to knock that out of his game either. He’s one of those blokes who you take a risk on and you take the good with the bad. I suppose BA is good on de-skilling everyone at the club Cartwright is just one more I suppose………

Not changing his skill set, just removing the low percentage play from his game.

I reckon BA has been the most successful at improving Cartwright’s game so far….

Talk about a small sample size, 8 mins a game even Pou would have my back on this one.

Maybe not he already has more tries (4) and TA (5) in only 13 games/less mins since 2016 where he played 26 games. He is even better then 2015 too.

He is also making more metres per run (9.4) / defending better (94%) since 2015….

Additionally he has only made 2 errors conceded 3 penalties which is a huge improvement for example last year in only 7 games he made 10 errors / 5 penalties

obviously small sample but indications so far show he is improving under BA….

You can't say that mate. It goes against the forum's narrative.

I think he has been pretty good for us, which makes his 8 min stints more perplexing.
