I don't know what to think until someone explains what pla means

I think Cartwright is about the most feasible name suggested of late so far to come here in the near future …and let’s be honest, he is a player that has some weaknesses

You mean like how he forgets how to play rugby league for weeks at a time?

I laughed because I don’t know either.
This generation are so illiterate, frankly it’s hilarious.

this is what i am expecting on thursday
papers submitted to nrl last week

Any idea if once it's done we start talking to May, I'm assuming if they had signed him already they already would have announced it we have spots available.

We already have a spot open with Klemmer gone. I'd imagine we still have money on the cap left. Unless they are upgrading Galvin and Talyn quite abit this year.

Think he's already agreed. He definately wants to play with his brother plus Turuva and Jerome are here too. No brainer.

Makes our backline even more dangerous.

Doubt we’d get him for this season but I think Joe Chan at Melbourne would be an upgrade in our backrow and can’t see him getting a spot at the storm behind Blore and Katoa.

Alex Chan?

Just curious if we have the spot available why it hasn't been announced if he has agreed?

Not sure tbh.

Nearly 5 months in so the contract would be 55-60% of his salary. Hopefully it's done by Friday. No idea. Just a feeling.

Cartwright was not my shout; I answered a question regarding his defence and made a brief comment on his suitability. I trust that we have plans for someone that is NRL ready with a high ceiling.

Having said that, with Cartwright, you do get what it says on the tin. He is sound on both sides of the ball but is prone to an error (or two) per game; that could be on either side of the ball. Given the resolve we have shown so far I think is downside could be covered. On the upside, he can be freakish with the ball in hand so, used in the right way could work for us.

As I stated when it was bought up he coudl be at the right price for this season, plus one at most.

Yeah mate I get you and likewise, didn't comment on anything other than Cartwright himself.

The truth is he is another player with a bit of a glitzy highlight reel in amongst regular terrible performances. He just doesn't do the good things consistently enough.

Trades happen every season and I'm sure we'll get someone decent.

Forgets - or could never play much to begin with ?

But who do you prefer replacing Bird when he next gets injured - Cartwright or Tony Sukkar ?

 

[crazycat]

I don't honestly understand Newcastle they have been trying to get out of over paying players for the last two years and now they do this

I take what others are saying, yes a big name helps keep Ponga there....

Yet they punt Daniel Saififi who stuck by the club for ages.
Ofcourse the knights punted Kennedy when he became older. Its a shame to see how loyal players get discarded.

Huge gamble by the knights. Were talking a player who will stay there longer then the coach and who may or may not gel in their halves.

Yeah, they’ve really got a handle on the 3, 4, or 5 letter acronym.
@Demps has always helped out especially when I first started posting.
What about the Emoji lingo?
I’m 💩💩 at that.

I know it’s pearce-paul of me, but I’ve been giggling at that one.

I think one of the bloke who watches a lot of juniors reckons Tony just needs a bit more time. After all the time Cartwright has been afforded, he’s still average at best so I’m going with Tony.
I played football with Cartwright’s dad when we were 14/15 and he was the best forward in the team. Never went on when many thought he would like the older bro.

I played with his uncle, until he went to Penrith. His Dad was playing A grade for St Marys when I left. He was recently on the Board of St Marys Leagues Club (not sure if he still is) so I have caught up with him a few times when I am up that way catching up with mates. Always has time for a chat. They are updating the player database for reunions, if you jump onto the St Marys facebook page I think there is a link there somewhere. I went to the 100 year one in 2008 and had a great time and there always seems to be someone I played with in the joint when I drop in.
