I came here because I thought the great LU hivemind could solve this ponderous question.

Cartwright coaches the most boring style of rugby league imaginable if he coaches at all, that was Henry in the sheds at halftime preaching the new style. Sezer goes out and bits player Blair shows him how to get the ball into the backs. Selection has been a huge issue in our club with Cartwright generally getting it wrong.

The last time a team led the comp with a negative F/A was 1953 .... lol but who cares.

id love to see a minor premiership with a -ve P/D

someone give him a few 30-40 pt thrashings, and they can win all their other games by around 4 points lol

I don't get the titans Cartwright hate - he had to build a side from scratch , which he did a very good job at - he got them to the top four two years in a row including a GF qualifier within the first few years. He then won a spoon which would be expected of any new side , but after that spoon he has got the side to improve each year which is a good effort considering they have rookie halves and not the greatest fullback / hooker combo.

Good luck to the titans, they have been the most consistent side so far


PS - if the refs didn't stuff up against manly the eels would be equal first

The top 4 finishes were off the back of Prince being in the form of his life. This is justified as Titans got the spoon and Prince just so happened to have an ordinary season that year. Albert Kelly replaces Prince and the club buys players that can defend well and obviously Titans improve. Carty has done jackshit. Bird confirmed that wen he said that the team had to practice attacking sets outside of training cos Carty didn't do it training. So don't give Carty credit. Also Carty has always picked Zillman at fullback despite having long stretches of poor form whereas David Mead has shown to be a very capable fullback despite his limited opportunities. 2011 onwards Carty has had a really good squad to work with but has shown that he is uncapable of producing the goods. Titans have lacked structure in attack for the past 3 seasons and Carty never seems to have addressed this issue.

To be fair, Zillman was very good last year until he got injured.

Also, Anthony Don grew up closer to the Queensland border than Greg Inglis, meaning Mal has probably already been in his ear, just in case the 37 or so outside backs in front of him all fall over.

The difference for the Titans this year has been Albert Kelly. He is the most opportunistic half I've seen since Jamie Soward back in 2010.

You simply can't provide him with any sort of opportunity, be it a broken defensive line, dropped ball or an intercept chance.

He just always seems to be in the right place when an opposition play breaks down and 99 times out of 100 he turns this into points. He would have to be one of the quickest players over 20 metres in the competition and he knows that if he can't finish the play himself, then all he need do is find his way to either of his wingers before his afterburners run out. The two Titans wingers have some serious wheels.

This will only improve for them once James Roberts injury improves and he gets some game time there.

very well said mate

I like Zillman however in 2011 he was in horrible form but was a protected species and happened to play almost every match that season. It was about time he got into form because he shouldn't have been in the team for that long in the first place. Last season he was good without a doubt with his consistent linebreaks however there are a lot of holes in his game which really hurts the team. As a fullback he is meant to be sniffing out for the ball. He is meant to be everywhere around the field but he just seems to never be at the right place at the right time as a fullback should. David Mead does this job well and i think this value to the team is more important to the team as a fullback than anything else. David Mead has been great everytime he has played fullback.

8. Luke Douglas.

Plays his 200th consecutive game since debut this week, I think?

Fantastic Effort!!

It is astounding. Who would have thought that a young lad originally out of the Cronulla system would have such stamina and recovery abilities.
