Ad news on cartwright. Good player but can't stay fit
This is my concern with him too, he just can't seem to string a run of games together.
It doesn't help us this year, but hopefully we can manage him better next year with Batchelor, Bailey and Bell all coming in
Hamstrings are just a feature of fast sports -soccer rugby athletics. If it’s the same hammy then longer out and longer rehab. They do do surgery but I think his is low grade, not sure. Not the time to write him off. He is our best second rower at the moment. As someone said love to get Bailey early but not sure if that’s possible- I assume but don’t know his current contract or if he has a job away from rugby to sort out too
Aaron Bower: Hull FC have won more Super League games in six matches this season (4) than they did in their previous 36 matches spanning two seasons (3). Some start from John Cartwright
Six games in and we have 50% more points already than we achieved across the whole of 2024, and a Cup win at Wigan to boot!! Like you say, some start from JC. Wonder how it compares to our other coaches across recent years?
The times they are a-changing, as someone rather more erudite than myself once famously said!
Shut-down Sexy-Texy and we'll hopefully get the job done. Backed the Hermanator for another power-over. 5/2, try anytime.
I had him at 14/1 first try scorer.....
Good man.He paid for my hotel, ticket, train and beer. He also paid for an extra 6 hours in a pub in Bramley yesterday afternoon, on the strength I mistakenly got the Halifax train instead of the Hull one lol. He also paid for my taxi fare from Bramley back to Leeds train station. I'm deffo a few rashers short of a FULL ENGLISH lol.
think Peter Gentle and possibly sharp were the nearest we have had persona wise to Carty, myself. Lot to be said for NRL pedigree really just look at the new British coaches at Huddersfield and Cas. obviously struggling culture wise
Thought at times we played ok, ball in hand.. The last 10 mins was a bit disappointing, put the cue on the rack.-IMO. Was very impressed with Eseh, carried the ball strong, and good work rate. I thought it was Briscoe's best game since he's returned.. also Fash , he's improved his discipline, he was the main culprit, in the ' 6 again' , defensively excellent. Next week, it would be massive IF Will Pryce was earmarked to play, just for the reaction from the other side of the city.. If not I'd like to see Rapana at 6, maybe Hardaker or Litten at FB, Moy at the moment, is too lightweight, and needs to work more under the high ball
