Here’s the rub
NRL is so high level competitive that
Coaches work on the smallest details to win games.
Cartwright is truly in that model.

We will focus on the absolute basics for at least 2 seasons.
Attrition rugby, waiting for errors from the other side and make no errors yourself. High completion rates etc

So it may well be boring but it’s what we need to win and grind out results.
The pack has to get on top of other packs and that’s non negotiable.

I’m happy to watch hard working lads try and grind an opposition down and win games 16-10 rather than 32-18

Echo, what most people have put, we looked rusty first half and was a great effort particularly by the kids to keep Cas scoreless.

We do lack pace and maybe some creativity, but think our pack will do enough to win us games and we will have alot more Steel than previous years.

Let's be honest very few fans expect us to get close to the play offs, but do think we should be aiming for 8th/9th, the advantage we have over every club except, the top sides is our youth depth, we have players who are SL ready to fill in just about every position. If we can slowly improve the next couple of seasons and our fans still we us, I could see us challenging in a couple of seasons time.
