I recently heard that at the start of the year BA was keen to give Cartwright serious game time this season, but at the moment he is not happy with Bryce's attitude in defence and so is 'off him' a little. I am sure that will change throughout the season.

WhY IsN'T HE OfF The WHolE TeAM, tHeN????


Seriously, though - our defence overall has had a sucky attitude (ie: falling off tackles easily).

Bit harsh to lay that squarely at Cartwright's feet, when others are faring no better...

The concern is that even when our D is compressed the opposition continues to make room around the ruck. Our tackle/ruck control is probably the worst in the comp. We still have no idea how to control that area allowing way to many quick PTBs with one or more of our defenders still on the ground. Then when the opposition spread the ball we are continually found out because our slide isnt efficient. Hell I saw us compressed even when defending on our try line. Simply put or committment and tactics in defence are extremely poor at the moment. Thank God for Dyls and Guthos cover or else it would be much worse.

We don't give away many 6 agains though. We are probably one of the most disciplined teams when it comes that.

Thats the trade off to giving away quick PTB not making another 6 tackles.

When matto was on, he was seriously slowing down the play the ball. There were more than a few times that I thought he would be penalised

Its a trade off for sure but teams like Penrith, Chooks and Storm realise the Refs back off after a few. Tigpies were punished first half but nothing second half. I guess its how you defend these situations and we generally sh*t ourselves.

I think we could probably win or possibly lose. Or didn't the girlfriend in White Man Cant Jump say, that sometimes when you win, you really lose? I'm confused.

I don’t think Emu has got the fitness yet to play FG in the 14, 15 or 16 jersey. Yes he could be 17, but if a back goes down he may have to play big minutes in the middle.

Hands isn’t top 30. So the dilemma is to promote Hands or keep looking for a 30 June signing to compliment the squad.
I like the look of that last sentence.

This new merkin has his eye on wing.

Was it Lehman on the other wing on the 2s last Monday Gronky? Im not sure where he came from but suffice to say I dont think he's providing any pressure to be elevated to the 1s. Not surprised this kid is being given a run this week.

We just signed him from the Roosters.
