Cartwright has been at some massive clubs. You don't end up at the Roosters and Broncos if you're a dud, plus he's the current NSW assistant.
On top of all this he helped build the Titans from the ground up as head coach.
It's always a risk hiring an aussie assistant, but this feels more calculated than taking a punt on an aussie assistant taking their first head coaching job'"
Agree with your post and the bit in bold is pretty much what he'll be having to do here such is the mess. He certainly has all the credentials & tools in his locker to be a success as our Head Coach but we all know that doesn't mean it will work that way.
All said and done for me he ticks all the boxes required and that is all we can ask for. I think the fact he is a completely new broom will also prove to be a good think and have a positive impact.
The season has gone so we may as put most of the effort in getting things right in 2025, I'm sure he'll be having input from here on in. He also has boots on the ground in Aus which should better in terms of recruiting our quota spots with the quality and positions he feels is needed.
