Squad succession

[Gazzamatta]

Cartwright might be the most talented pure football player in the 30

He's had periods of absolute brilliance combined with responsible, tough footy. I'm a fan. He and Tuilagi should be our starting edges for game 1.
I kinda think Ryles will shift Lane back to an edge though.

Cartwright's playing for a 2026 contract isn't he? Even if that ends up elsewhere at his age, then he still should have a good season. I can't see him not being in the 17, and starting edge is fine enough.

I do see Lane in the middle rotation this season, and hope Ryles sees that as well. With the ability to fill in on an edge for 20mins as needed - kind of like Matterson.

Cartwright started the year off in great form. Seemed to play more physical and was better in defence. Got injured, possibly played injured on his return, lost Moses on his edge and the whole team in general played shit. He’ll be a lot better next year.
An edge of him, Moses and Lomax is pretty dangerous and should do well enough defensively

 

[Lemon Squash]

I can legit see Carty and Lomax getting into some sort of flick pass contest. Should be entertaining at least.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Why is that a good thing?

He is inconsistent, and at 31 will probably be on the slide.

Cartwright can be very dangerous in attack, but he is a shit defender and often makes poor decisions and mistakes with the ball.

We need blokes who we can rely on every week, not guys who have a brilliant game one week and then have two shit ones after.

Lane is the same.

Carty, Tuilagi and Lane would have to be three of the worst defensive forwards in the game.

Tuilagi's attack can make up for it somewhat. Carty's does occasionally. Lane's attack hasn't been seen in two years.
