Russell in for Simonssen and Sivo in for Perham.
When ? Who else was available that day ?So why even pick him in the 17 then?
Yeah Gutho signed a 2 year extension in April 2015 with Manly. After he did is ACL.Gutho?
I did nothing of the sort. Lingard was claiming that when BA was forced to pick Carty because of injuries, that was wasn't given a fair go and that has eroded the guy's confidence.Unlike you to misrepresent what someone was saying...
Well he wouldn’t be the first.Ok so we agree that there is no place for him.
Sorry but I don't buy your chicken vs egg justification with Carty. When you are in a roster of 30, you need to make a compelling argument to be selected. That includes your training, personal preparation and hitting any benchmarks that are given to you.
Somehow you are suggesting that he should get a spot without earning it ?
Hmmmmmmm, and who could that beWell he wouldn’t be the first.
Complete revisionist bullshit. Lingard suggested he should have been given time in games which you turned into him claiming he should have been given a spot he didn't deserve.I did nothing of the sort.

Carty is not a teenager. He's an experienced NRL player and knows what it takes to be an NRL player. Facts are that if we had a full roster he wouldn't have been picked. Same goes with Rein. Both were bought as fill-ins, outside the top 17 by far.
Why sign him ? Because we need 30 players and might need to use them subject to injuries.

Agree. We have 4 x middles on the bench. Yes Marata can cover 2nd row. But Bryce is a better player then Makatoa.
Not at all. I'm simply making the observation that when you have an erratic player like Cartwright (who looks to me like 'confidence' player) it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to sit him on the bench and give him hardly any game-time. It seems counter-intuitive to me.Ok so we agree that there is no place for him.

Are you boasting that a bald dick-head, who has under-achieved for ten years, bases his selection decisions on your thinking?AND Hindy111 does it again. Was it not I who was calling for Brown to be dropped to the bench and start Matterson? Then the peanuts come and threw bullshit stats at me.
Well look what BA has done now?
Carry on people.
Hail hindy. Hail the great man!!!AND Hindy111 does it again. Was it not I who was calling for Brown to be dropped to the bench and start Matterson? Then the peanuts come and threw bullshit stats at me.

OMG what will happen if we looooooose a half??? Wot will we do???I see we have no need for a back on the bench this week just in case of injury.
So who plays half if we lose Moses or Drown I wonder?
