I really rate Walker, he’s a class player in a poor team. More quality around him and he’ll flourish. The more I think about the Cartwright possibility, the more I’m liking it. A bloke who’s been in a similar position before and done well.

Agree with most, Walker will get better in a better team.
At the moment we're getting dominated in the tackle so slow play the balls. Then slow service from dummy half from Houghton. Smith isn't a half and Charles isn't up to SL speed yet, so Walker then isn't getting a crisp pass from his halves. He's receiving the ball with a defender in his face at the moment and not leaving him many options but to just take a tackle or risk throwing an intercept.
We saw against Leeds recently he can throw a good cut out ball to a winger if he's given good service (every single pass in that play was crisp and we have good depth on the attacking line), he's just rarely getting any.
I'm happy with Walker and think he would be showing his class if he was in a more dominant team, like he was last year at Rovers.

Asiata was coached by Cartwright when they won the GF with the Cowboys, im sure he will have inputted his views on him.

Hes coached a few ex players too. Minichiello, Kelly, Michaels, Rankin off the top of my head

That’s Lam out of the running.

If you really don't know what you need, you really are in the $h!t.

You mean when French and field was out for the season?

Personally I think you're in denial what really is required. You've been on a suck it and see journey with failure, and you're just digging a bigger hole for yourself. I'm not having a go at your club, I'm just stating facts. You have a massive hill to climb...Good luck.

Just seen on one of the Brisbane Broncos forums.
Talking about Cartwright and being linked to FC. They all have a very high opinion of him, even the Titan fans charming in on the conversation.
Then as I read on, they are saying they're sad to see him go, wishing him the best at FC etc etc
Now I don't know if they're taking the reports as he's on his way or if they've heard something or know something.

Why are you so prickly

Link?

I don't think it's denial as such, more a case of not knowing what direction the club is going in. As fans we can probably talk for ages about what we want and need and probably form a consensus on what direction we want the club to take. But we're not the ones in charge and we don't have a say in what the club will actually do.

The problem in the past is that when things go wrong at the club, they tend to rip up what they were doing and go for something completely different. A case in point is that I recall during Peter Gentle's time in charge that Adam Pearson was using Huddersfield as an example and model for what we were trying to build but when Gentle was sacked and replaced by Lee Radford, the model template became Wigan. So not only did we change styles of coach but also the clubs philosophy. And we have repeated this ever since.

I agree that we have failed, are in a big hole and have a massive hill to climb. I think all FC fans can see that and I think that all rugby fans in general can see that (some even revelling in our current demise). The biggest thing that Myler has to do right now is figure out what our identity is as he said in one of his first interviews. And then he's got to find a coach that suits that identity. That coach needs to be given time and patience to deliver but also, if that coach ends up failing again, that identity plan has to stick. The club has to know what they are trying to build so that even if they end up with the wrong personnel to start with, the plan remains in place.

Using football as an example, this weekend sees Jurgen Klopp leave Liverpool but by all accounts his successor has a very similar philosophy to Klopp so the club seem to have decided that they want to keep on the path they have been on because they have identified an identity that's been successful for them. Contrast that to Man Utd for example and there has seemed to be a lack of identity there since Fergie left with every manager that's followed bringing a different style and philosophy with him and mixed results.

cartwright will do well as long as little joe and hoss dont come with him as assistants

The real test for Lam will be this season and next, still no academy players, signing the likes of Mcintosh, Dywer and McNamara worry me.

I was very 50/50 on Lam coming here, I don't think he ever planned to come, agent played a blinder.

I'm really liking this Cartwright rumour.

I'm going to cling to it for a while.

They’ve not had an academy licence, although they’re pushing for one. Is that even something for which a first team coach is very responsible? If you’re not a fan his recruitment record that’s a bit of a worry, given that Hull’s is now following it so closely, having just changed the best before date.

Fwiw, I don’t think Lam would have been a great fit for Hull. That said, I think his re-signing for Leigh is good news for them.
