John Cartwright who hasn’t coached first grade for over ten years after a 46% win record at the Gold Coast. I’d rather have Grix ffs

Putting into context though, he coached Titans in their first few years in the NRL. Don’t think a 46% win ratio is dreadful when you think how they struggled as new franchise for a long while. Also has experience building a new club, which is something we really need.

Took titans to the play offs a few times and has been assistant coach at a club who won GF and then at broncos now who are making finals

Cartwright did a good job with Titans albeit 10 years ago now. Believe he was linked with the NSW job recently so must still be held in high regard.

Cartwright gaining traction…

Do we really think he's that interested?
It don't appear many others are either.
Maybe Mylers still working in way through that 20 odd list of prospective candidates.

Don't think it's much of a problem that he hasn't coached for 10 years. In that 10 years he's gone on to be assistant coach at a grand final winning team and currently at another team who have featured in a grand final. He will have learned an awful lot, and likely grown a hunger and desire for giving head coaching another shot.
Wouldn't be disappointed if he get him at all.

It goes against everything they’ve been saying, looking at young English coaches. Cartwright is older than the coach we’ve just got rid of.

So what? What’s most important is they’re the right man. Couldn’t care less what his age or nationality is.

Guilty

FWIW, although not been a head coach for some time, he appears to be well respected over in Oz, and is currently a part of one of the best systems in the game in Brisbane, with that comes new connections over in a market we have recent been very poor in, we shall see what happens.

I’m not saying I care about that either, but the club and or Myler have been saying otherwise.
Right man for the job will have to be proved like with any coaching appointment.
