JOHN CARTWRIGHT

[Mr Stupid]

If Carty continues and we still do no better next year Titans will play second fiddle to the Suns. The Suns will take over as the number 1 game in town. Also while the Suns are going ok they will capture the imagination of all the fence sitters out there.

I'd rather watch ash harrison run out in the halves each week than watch two hours of knock-ons. AFL is ****, I just don't get it. I wont renew my family's membership to the Titans if Searle and JC are in charge next season but I'll follow and support them from afar. Very sad.

I guess thinking about it and I'm prepared to grin and bear it next year if we don't do well with a new young coach who is finding there feet. However I won't be the same if Carty is still in charge and we are no better than we are this year.

Yep, that's where I'm with it these days.

For me it's not always about how many fans you have. It's how willing they are to passionately support the side. It's like an ice berg. It is a crisis because many fans are turning down the dial on their support.

Also on LU. I don't think many of those guys actually watch Titans games!

Watching the Warriors atm, how much of our success was solely because of this bloke. He is a true pro, and controls the ruck as good as anyone. He got hurt in i think rd 4 2011. as good as some of the younger guys are, they do not have anything like the ability Friendy has.

Some reasonable comments on there (LU) and some other perspectives ... particularly that they view our pack as soft and I think they're right, we are playing soft. The coach is not in their heads at all, imho.

very true Coaster the warriors where quite a different team without him.

For me the most telling part of this article was the last couple of paragraph's.
"It is understood Titans players have been frustrated with the lack of feedback they receive from Cartwright.

"There has been some discontent around feedback and a few players were concerned with the lack of attention their individual games were receiving this season," a source close to the team said.

"In some cases, the players were searching for feedback outside Cartwright because they knew their form was falling away, but were unsure why.

"The players I have spoken to respect Carty, but know this team should be top-four."

Once the players start talking to others about issues and voicing doubts about the coach he has lost the locker room and should go asap. At the moment they are just going through the motions and not playing with the commitment required in first grade to be successful.

and yet the Warriors are not sure if they want to keep him....

He was a good player for us and we got rid of him and now the Warriors are considering doing the same perhaps. Does he piss off the wrong people or something?

He left the Titans because he wasn't as good as Srama but we just haven't seen that yet ..

He will more than likely sign again for one year but there is someone else talking with him..

Just watched the video with Carty talking about the team.

Some comments about zillman which made me lol:
"He was the in form fullback of the competition before he got injured" Then compared him to slater, inglis and barba.

Carty laughed at the reporter for asking if his job was on the line, if he felt pressure or if he had been spoken to by management regarding the teams form.

He's far too comfortable.

"It's a season of 26 games not 16, the faith I have is there is a side there that can compete with any side in the competition," he said.

Pity we're already at 21

[karnage]

Pity we're already at 21

I laughed so much at this quote, because by making it he is drawing attention to the fact that he could only hold the team together for 16 rounds!!! HE IS CRITICISING HIMSELF!! Too funny...
