The Eels had all the possession at CommBank Stadium and Bryce Cartwright helped himself to a double in a 26-8 victory in front of a bumper crowd of more than 29,000.
KEY POINTS:FOXX INJURED: Josh Addo-Carr suffered an injured right AC joint and failed to return in the second half. He watched the second half from the sideline with his arm in a sling. It is a shame because Addo-Carr had adopted a carnivore diet and beefed up over the summer, and wanted to start the year fast. Should the injury be serious, Bronson Xerri comes into contention next Friday against none other than Cronulla, the club he was at before he was rubbed out with a four-year drug ban.
CARTY PARTY: Bryce Cartwright bulked up seven kilos in the off-season – his dodgy knee allowed him to finally get stuck into a decent leg-weights program – and the new physique made him a handful on the left edge. He was good in defence, and finished with a couple of deserved tries. He did not back away from Viliame Kikau or Stephen Crichton, and will relish the challenge next week against Penrith’s Liam Martin.WHAT COACHES SAID:CANTERBURY COACH CAMERON CIRALDO: “He’s not great.
